Spatial fluctuations in reaction-limited aggregation

A general method is used for describing reaction-diffusion systems, namely van Kampen's method of compounding moments, to study the spatial fluctuations in reaction-limited aggregation processes. The general formalism used here and in subsequent publications is developed. Then a particular model is considered that is of special interest, since it describes the occurrence of a phase transition (gelation). The corresponding rate constants for the reaction between two clusters of sizei and sizej areK _ij=ij (i, j=1, 2,). For thediffusion constants D _j of clusters of sizej the following class of models is considered:D _j=D if 1Js andD _j=0 ifj>s. The casess= ands< are studied separately. For the models= the equal-time and the two-time correlation functions are calculated; this modelbreaks down at the gel point. The breakdown is characterized by a divergence of the density fluctuations, and is caused by the large mobility of large clusters. For all models withs< the density fluctuations remain finite att _c, and the equal-time correlation functions in the pre- and in the post-gel stage are calculated. Many explicit and asymptotic results are given. From the exact solution the upper critical dimension in this gelling model isd _c=2.     

The characteristics analysis of a new-style four-mirror axisymmetric-fold-combination cavity adapting to cylindrical discharge region

An axisymmetric-fold-combination (ASFC) cavity composed of two planar mirrors and spherical mirrors was designed. It is a stable-unstable resonator cavity. The light field of radial direction is Gaussian distribution. And in angular orientation, the distribution keeps invariant. It could generate annular CO₂ laser beam with excellent spatial coherence. And the spatial coherence is commendably realized with its stable-unstable cavity structure. The output light intensity distribution of this special model was discussed and simulated. With exterior lenses group, the output beams can be adjusted and controlled better to meet the manufactural requirements. Some references were provided for further research of the cavity with cylindrical discharge region.     

Measuring spatial coherence by using a mask with multiple apertures

A simple method to measure the complex degree of spatial coherence of a partially coherent quasi-monochromatic light field is presented. The Fourier spectrum of the far-field interferogram generated by a mask with multiple apertures (small circular holes) is analyzed in terms of classes of aperture pairs. A class of aperture pairs is defined as the set of aperture pairs with the same separation vector. The height of the peaks in the magnitude spectrum determines the modulus of the complex degree of spatial coherence and the corresponding value in the phase spectrum determines the phase of the complex degree of spatial coherence. The method is illustrated with experimental results.     

Reconnection dynamics for quantized vortices

By analyzing trajectories of solid hydrogen tracers in superfluid ⁴He, we identify tens of thousands of individual reconnection events between quantized vortices. We characterize the dynamics by the minimum separation distance δ(t) between the two reconnecting vortices both before and after the events. Applying dimensional arguments, this separation has been predicted to behave asymptotically as δ(t)≈A(κ|t−t₀|)^1/2, where κ=h/m is the quantum of circulation. The major finding of the experiments and their analysis is strong support for this asymptotic form with κ as the dominant controlling feature, although there are significant event to event fluctuations. At the three-parameter level the dynamics may be about equally well-fit by two modified expressions: (a) an arbitrary power-law expression of the form δ(t)=B|t−t₀|^α and (b) a correction-factor expression δ(t)=A(κ|t−t₀|)^1/2(1+c|t−t₀|). The measured frequency distribution of α is peaked at the predicted value α=0.5, although the half-height values are α=0.35 and 0.80 and there is marked variation in all fitted quantities. Accepting (b) the amplitude A has mean values of 1.24±0.01 and half height values of 0.8 and 1.6 while the c distribution is peaked close to c=0 with a half-height range of −0.9 s⁻¹ to 1.5 s⁻¹. In light of possible physical interpretations we regard the correction-factor expression (b), which attributes the observed deviations from the predicted asymptotic form to fluctuations in the local environment and in boundary conditions, as best describing our experimental data. The observed dynamics appear statistically time-reversible, which suggests that an effective equilibrium has been established in quantum turbulence on the time scales (≤0.25 s) investigated. We discuss the impact of reconnection on velocity statistics in quantum turbulence and, as regards classical turbulence, we argue that forms analogous to (b) could well provide an alternative interpretation of the observed deviations from Kolmogorov scaling exponents of the longitudinal structure functions.     

Nonlinearity management and diffraction management for the stabilization of two-dimensional spatial solitons

The nonlinear Schrödinger equation which governs the dynamics of two-dimensional spatial solitons in Kerr media with periodically varying diffraction and nonlinearity has been analyzed in this paper using variational approach and numerical studies. Analytical expressions for soliton parameters have been derived using variational analysis. Variational equations and partial differential equation have been simulated numerically. Analytical and numerical studies have shown that nonlinearity management and diffraction management stabilize the pulse against decay or collapse providing undisturbed propagation even for larger energies of the incident beam.     

窄缝中气泡在磁性液体中的上升与变形

对窄缝中气泡在磁性液体中的上升与变形进行了可视化研究。定性分析了纳米磁性颗粒引发的黏度效应及表面活性剂分子依附作用对气泡上升速度与形状的影响。试验工质为体积浓度6.33%的水基Fe_3O_4磁性液体,同时对比了质量浓度25%的四甲基氢氧化铵水溶液、质量分数30%和50%的蔗糖溶液以及水中气泡的上升运动。窄缝间隙分别为1 mm和2 mm,气泡由底部不同直径的圆孔产生。试验结果表明:由于活性剂分子的存在,磁性液体气泡上升过程中由扁椭圆形渐转变为上圆下平的冠状,而其略大于水的黏度使气泡在1 mm窄缝中保持直线上升运动,但窄缝间隙增大到2 mm后,磁性液体中气泡的运动轨迹仍会发生振荡。     

Simplification of formulas for compression wave and oscillating flow in circular pipe

We had already obtained the analytical solutions for the compression wave and steady-state oscillating flow in a pipe with a circular cross section [Sato Y, Kanki H. Formulas for compression wave and oscillating flow in circular pipe. To be published in Appl Acoust [accepted 11 Sept. 2006]]. This work contains three key-components. The first key is to simplify the formulas using the unique mathematic technique without losing the accuracy. Simplifying the formulas is the one of the most important factors for formulas used in engineering use. The results will enable us to greatly reduce the work and computation costs. The second is to verify the flow distribution calculated by our formulas. The third is to study the possibility of application of our method to the analysis in turbulent flow region. Kawata et al. have represented the validity of one-dimensional quasi-analysis in turbulent flow region, using the method of D’Souza et al. and the shear viscosity. Therefore, in this paper the validity of the analysis in a turbulence region was verified by proving theoretically that the methods of D’Souza et al. and ours are intrinsically equivalent. The proof of equivalence was accomplished using the formulas simplified in this paper.     

Demand sensitivity to space-price competition with Manhattan and Euclidean representations of distance

This paper provides extensive evidence from a simulation model supporting our claim that it is not appropriate to use the Euclidean metric in a competitive system where the Manhattan metric would provide a more accurate representation of distances. The Euclidean metric has the property of biasing firms' demands by a distortion of their sensitivity to competitive strategies and, therefore, generates an excessive level of competition.     

Retrospectively gated cardiac cine imaging with temporal and spatial acceleration

Parallel imaging methods are routinely used to accelerate the image acquisition process in cardiac cine imaging. The addition of a temporal acceleration method, whereby k-space is sampled differently for different time frames, has been shown in prior work to improve image quality as compared to parallel imaging by itself. However, such temporal acceleration strategies prove difficult to combine with retrospectively gated cine imaging. The only currently published method to feature such combination, by Hansen et al. [Magn Reson Med 55 (2006) 85-91] tends to be associated with prohibitively long reconstruction times. The goal of the present work was to develop a retrospectively gated cardiac cine method that features both parallel imaging and temporal acceleration, capable of achieving significant acceleration factors on commonly available hardware and associated with reconstruction times short enough for practical use in a clinical context.Seven cardiac patients and a healthy volunteer were recruited and imaged, with acceleration factors of 3.5 or 4.5, using an eight-channel product cardiac array on a 1.5-T system. The prescribed FOV value proved slightly too small in three patients, and one of the patients had a bigemini condition. Despite these additional challenges, good-quality results were obtained for all slices and all patients, with a reconstruction time of 0.98±0.07 s per frame, or about 20 s for a 20-frame slice, using a single processor on a single PC. As compared to using parallel imaging by itself, the addition of a temporal acceleration strategy provided much resistance to artifacts.
