Some aspects of diffusion: fluctuations in reaction diffusion,and geometric influences in nonuniform media

Summary We deal with two diffusion problems: Space-integrated conserved entities characterizing very fast - diffusion - controlled reactions, such as time lags, etc. are universal. They are given by relationships which do not reflect the failure of the mean field hydrodynamic equations. We present another application which does not reflect this failure, for determining the surface flux via a diffusion controlled reaction producing a colored product. Another anomalous diffusion process we considered is transport through cellular materials whose cell sizes are highly nonuniform. We have analyzed the effects of extreme nonuniformity by considering fractal-like models of cellular solids. The diffusion current through these models can exhibit anomalous time-dependencies which are not predicted by the diffusion equation. In particular, it is shown that the initial diffusion current can be characterized by a power-law dependence on the time. Furthermore, the exponent of the power law is given in terms of the distribution of cell sizes in the fractal-like cellular solid.     

Review of time lag permeation technique as a method for characterisation of porous media and membranes

The time lag permeation technique has proven to bean effective method for characterisation. Because of the simple nature of the permeation experiment, transport parameters can be directly obtained from experimental data hence avoiding the intensive mathematical treatment required by other techniques. The method has historically been applied to diffusion and adsorption in porous membranes and diffusion in polymer membranes. Since its origins in 1920, interest in the time lag method has expanded because of its value in characterising simple permeation processes and also complex systems of diffusion with simultaneous adsorption and surface diffusion. This review focuses on presenting the asymptotic solution of the mass balance diffusion equations and includes applications of time lag analysis, in order to give a critical and broad perspective of this method as a tool for characterisation. It includes much of the previously published literature in order to show that for most cases the asymptotic solution of the transport equations is simple, and for more complex cases that an analytical solution is possible hence avoiding cumbersome numerical techniques.     

Simple technique for the simultaneous determination of solvent diffusion coefficient in polymer by Quantum Resistive Sensors and FT‐IR spectroscopy

A simple, quick and novel method for the determination of diffusion properties through polymer films, based on Quantum Resistive Sensors made of Conductive Polymer nanoComposites is presented. The integral time lag method is employed for the calculation of diffusion coefficient, and the results are compared simultaneously with that of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and sorption method. Two model polymers, a semi‐crystalline poly(lactic acid) and an amorphous poly(isobutylene‐co‐isoprene), are used to validate the study. A good correlation is established between the diffusion coefficient values derived from all techniques demonstrating the interest of such reliable, simple and cheap nanosensors for the quick determination (several minutes) of diffusion properties in polymer films. Our first results suggest that this technique is meaningful for the determination of barrier properties in nanocomposite membranes filled with platelets of graphene or clay.

Local Lead–Lag Relationships and Nonlinear Granger Causality: An Empirical Analysis

The Granger causality test is essential for detecting lead–lag relationships between time series. Traditionally, one uses a linear version of the test, essentially based on a linear time series regression, itself being based on autocorrelations and cross-correlations of the series. In the present paper, we employ a local Gaussian approach in an empirical investigation of lead–lag and causality relations. The study is carried out for monthly recorded financial indices for ten countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. The local Gaussian approach makes it possible to examine lead–lag relations locally and separately in the tails and in the center of the return distributions of the series. It is shown that this results in a new and much more detailed picture of these relationships. Typically, the dependence is much stronger in the tails than in the center of the return distributions. It is shown that the ensuing nonlinear Granger causality tests may detect causality where traditional linear tests fail.     

简支及悬臂箱梁在角隅轴向荷载作用下的翼板纵向应力

基于能量变分原理,拟定轴向荷载作用下箱梁的纵向位移函数,得到关于翼板剪切变形引起的位移差函数的基本微分方程,继而推导出箱梁翼板纵向应力表达式,并首次得出角隅轴向荷载作用下翼板出现应力不均匀分布的荷载及边界条件。通过对一模型箱梁进行计算,并与通用有限元软件ANSYS壳单元计算结果进行比较,验证了该方法和所推导公式的正确性。研究结果表明,当作用于简支箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中或分布荷载时,翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象;当作用于悬臂箱梁截面角隅处的轴向荷载（合力无偏心）为集中荷载时,翼板不产生纵向应力不均匀现象,而当荷载轴向分布时,翼板将产生纵向应力不均匀现象。实际工程中,横力弯曲使悬臂箱梁产生剪力滞效应,这种效应会与轴向分布荷载产生的效应叠加,设计时对此应予以充分考虑。

Finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay via periodically intermittent control

In this paper, the issue of finite-time lag synchronization of coupled reaction–diffusion systems with time-varying delay (CRDSTD) is considered. A periodically intermittent controller is designed such that drive system and corresponding response system can achieve finite-time lag synchronization. By using graph theory and Lyapunov method, two sufficient criteria are presented to guarantee the finite-time lag synchronization of CRDSTD. Moreover, the time of achieving lag synchronization of CRDSTD is estimated. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

The impact of investment lags on investment decision

This paper suggests a valuation framework for an investment project through the concept of real options. Generally, in real asset world, decision time and its payment time are not identical. This so-called investment lag problem should be considered when valuing real assets. When investment lags exist, firms’ accommodation capacities play important roles. In this paper, the real effect of investment lag on investment value is tested upon various conditions. We show the valuation process of real assets under the risk-neutral world. The closed-form formula is also provided for valuing real assets, including R&D project.
