All-Optical Suppression Of Relativistic Self-Focusing Of Laser Beams In Plasmas, Serguei Y. Kalmykov, Sunghwan A. Yi, Gennady Shvets Oct 2008

All-Optical Suppression Of Relativistic Self-Focusing Of Laser Beams In Plasmas, Serguei Y. Kalmykov, Sunghwan A. Yi, Gennady Shvets

Serge Youri Kalmykov

It is demonstrated that a catastrophic relativistic self-focusing (RSF) of a high-power laser pulse can be prevented all-optically by a second, much weaker, copropagating pulse. RSF suppression occurs when the difference frequency of the pulses slightly exceeds the electron plasma frequency. The mutual defocusing is caused by the three-dimensional electron density perturbation driven by the laser beat wave slightly above the plasma resonance. A bi-envelope model describing the early stage of the mutual defocusing is derived and analyzed. Later stages, characterized by the presence of a strong electromagnetic cascade, are investigated numerically. Stable propagation of the laser pulse with weakly …


Estimated P-Values In Discrete Models: Asymptotic And Non-Asymptotic Effects, Chris Lloyd Sep 2008

Estimated P-Values In Discrete Models: Asymptotic And Non-Asymptotic Effects, Chris Lloyd

Chris J. Lloyd

The exact null distribution of a P-value typically depends on nuisance parameters unspecified under the null. For discrete models and standard approximate P-values, this dependence can be quite strong. The estimated (or bootstrap) P-value is the exact probability of the P-value being no larger than its observed value, with the null estimate of the nuisance parameter substituted. For continuous models, it is known that such `bootstrap' P-values deviate from uniformity by terms of order m^{-3/2}, where m is a measure of sample size. The main difficulty with discrete models is the breakdown of asymptotics near the boundary. The aim of …

The Dependence Of Measured Modulation Error Ratio On Phase Noise, Ron D. Katznelson Aug 2008

The Dependence Of Measured Modulation Error Ratio On Phase Noise, Ron D. Katznelson

Ron D. Katznelson

This paper reviews the algorithms used by Vector Signal Analyzers to measure Modulation Error Ratio (MER) and derives the explicit functional dependence of measured MER on phase noise of digital transmitters. The modulation error model is introduced and the analytical expression for key estimated parameters required to obtain MER measure are derived. The essential elements of algorithms employed by MER measurement instruments to estimate amplitude scale, frequency offset, and initial phase intercept and the resulting MER are identified. The frequency response of the effective phase-noise rejection filtering action associated with a given measurement epoch is derived. It is shown that …

Theoretical Result Of Deflection Of Light Under General Relativity Could Be Wrong, Jorge A. Franco Jun 2008

Theoretical Result Of Deflection Of Light Under General Relativity Could Be Wrong, Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

Through the new definitions of relativistic mass, gravitational field and that of Energy, obtained in previous work was derived a very approximate value of Mercury’s precession. In present work we address the photon’s motion around a massive body by doing the same treatment done for any mass. The clue to do this is due to realizing that photon has a real mass (depending on its linear momentum, kinetic energy and its frequency) and thus, it is susceptible to be attracted by another mass. According to this work, this is a consistent, general and natural way to attack the problem of …

Experiments on electron acceleration and optical diagnostics of laser wakes were performed on the HERCULES facility in a wide range of laser and plasma parameters. Using frequency domain holography we demonstrated single shot visualization of individual plasma waves, produced by 40 TW, 30 fs laser pulses focused to the intensity of 10^{19} W/cm^2 onto a supersonic He gas jet with plasma densities n_e ~ 10^{19} cm^{−3}. These holographic “snapshots” capture the variation in shape of the plasma wave with distance behind the driver, and resolve wave front curvature seen previously only in simulations. High-energy quasimonoenergetic electron beams were generated using …

First Solutions To Gravitation And Orbital Precession Under Vectorial Relativity, Jorge A. Franco Mar 2008

First Solutions To Gravitation And Orbital Precession Under Vectorial Relativity, Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

One of the reasons of the success of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was that it allowed to calculate planet’s precession (rotation of the elliptical path axis with time, i.e.: Mercury Precession). The fact that its occurrence has been experimentally observed is not accounted by classic Kepler’s or Newton Laws because it is only applicable to constant masses. This work shows that planet’s precession is a direct consequence of considering variable planet’s mass inside accepted physical laws in our known three-dimensional space. According to us, this work positively confirms new definitions of mass and Energy obtained under Vectorial Relativity.


Microproteomics: Analysis Of Protein Diversity In Small Samples, Howard B. Gutstein, Jeffrey S. Morris, Suresh P. Annangudi, Jonathan V. Sweedler Feb 2008

Microproteomics: Analysis Of Protein Diversity In Small Samples, Howard B. Gutstein, Jeffrey S. Morris, Suresh P. Annangudi, Jonathan V. Sweedler

Jeffrey S. Morris

Proteomics, the large-scale study of protein expression in organisms, offers the potential to evaluate global changes in protein expression and their post-translational modifications that take place in response to normal or pathological stimuli. One challenge has been the requirement for substantial amounts of tissue in order to perform comprehensive proteomic characterization. In heterogeneous tissues, such as brain, this has limited the application of proteomic methodologies. Efforts to adapt standard methods of tissue sampling, protein extraction, arraying, and identification are reviewed, with an emphasis on those appropriate to smaller samples ranging in size from several microliters down to single cells. The …

Grain Growth And Texture Development In Lithium Fluoride Thin Films, Hakkwan Kim, Alexander H. King Feb 2008

Grain Growth And Texture Development In Lithium Fluoride Thin Films, Hakkwan Kim, Alexander H. King

Alexander H. King

We have studied grain-growth and texture development in polycrystalline lithium fluoride thin films using dark-field transmission electron microscopy. We demonstrate that we can isolate the size distribution of 〈111〉 surface normal grains from the overall size distribution, based on simple and plausible assumptions about the texture. The {111} texture formation and surface morphology were also observed by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy, respectively. The grain-size distributions become clearly bimodal as the annealing time increases, and we deduce that the short-time size distributions are also a sum of two overlapping peaks. The smaller grain-size peak in the distribution corresponds to …

Computing Equilibria Of N-Player Games With Arbitrary Accuracy,, Srihari Govindan, Robert B. Wilson

Robert B Wilson

From a variant of Kuhn's triangulation we derive a discrete version of the Global Newton Method that yields an epsilon-equilibrium of an N-player game and then sequentially reduces epsilon toward zero to obtain any desired precision or the best precision for any number of iterations.


The Adaptability Principle Of Mechanical Law And The Scale-Invariant Principle Of Mechanical Law In Fractal Space, Yang Xiaojun Jan 2008

The Adaptability Principle Of Mechanical Law And The Scale-Invariant Principle Of Mechanical Law In Fractal Space, Yang Xiaojun

Xiao-Jun Yang

The adaptability principle of mechanical law and the scale-invariant principle of mechanical law in fractal space are proved by using parameter-space and scale-space transforms in renormalization groups.From the space-transform angle,the transform of mechanical law from fractal space to European space is the scale-invariant transform while the transform of mechanical law from European space to fractal space is the adaptability transform.Their deductions are that law of conservation of energy and vectorial resultant of force and displacement in fractal space hold the line in form and Carpinteri's dimensional formula of fractal space is also proved. Namely,the spilling dimension of volume in fractal …

Optimal Switching Control For Microbial Fed-Batch Culture, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Enmin Feng, Hongchao Yin Jan 2008

Optimal Switching Control For Microbial Fed-Batch Culture, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Enmin Feng, Hongchao Yin

Chongyang Liu

In fed-batch culture of glycerol bio-dissimilation to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD), the aim of adding glycerol is to obtain as much 1,3-PD as possible. Hence, a proper feed strategy is required during the process. In this paper, we present an optimal switching control model based on our proposed controlled switching system. Some properties of the controlled switching system are obtained. Subsequently, we prove the existence of optimal control. In order to deduce the optimality conditions, we transcribe the optimal switching control model into an equivalent one with fixed switching instants and parameters. Finally, the optimality conditions of the equivalent problem are investigated …


Identification Of Intracellular Kinetic Parameters In Continuous Bioconversion Of Glycerol By Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Enmin Feng, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Yaqin Sun Jan 2008

Identification Of Intracellular Kinetic Parameters In Continuous Bioconversion Of Glycerol By Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Enmin Feng, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Yaqin Sun

Chongyang Liu

In this paper, we propose a hybrid nonlinear dynamical system to describe the concentration changes of extracellular and intracellular substances of glycerol bioconversion to 1,3- propanedol (1,3-PD) in microbial continuous cultures. It is proved that the solution to the system exists and is continuous with respect to kinetic parameters. Subsequently, a novel quantitative definition of biological robustness is investigated. We present a performance index based on experiment data of extracellular concentrations and biological robustness. Taking the proposed hybrid nonlinear dynamical system as a constraint, we establish an identification model to determine the most reasonable metabolic pathway and optimal kinetic parameters. …

Generalized Solitary Solution And Compacton-Like Solution Of The Jaulent–Miodek Equations Using The Exp-Function Method, Li-Na Zhang Jan 2008

Generalized Solitary Solution And Compacton-Like Solution Of The Jaulent–Miodek Equations Using The Exp-Function Method, Li-Na Zhang

Ji-Huan He

A new generalized solitary solution of the Jaulent–Miodek equations is obtained using the Exp-function method. By a transformation, the solitary solution can be easily converted into a generalized compacton-like solution. The free parameters in the obtained generalized solutions might imply some meaningful results in physical process.


Morphologies And Kinetics Of A Dewetting Ultrathin Solid Film, Mikhail Khenner Jan 2008

Morphologies And Kinetics Of A Dewetting Ultrathin Solid Film, Mikhail Khenner

Mikhail Khenner

The surface evolution model based on geometric partial differential equation is used to numerically study the kinetics of dewetting and dynamic morphologies for the localized pinhole defect in the surface of the ultrathin solid film with the strongly anisotropic surface energy. Depending on parameters such as the initial depth and width of the pinole, the strength of the attractive substrate potential and the strength of the surface energy anisotropy, the pinhole may either extend to the substrate and thus rupture the film, or evolve to the quasiequilibrium shape while the rest of the film surface undergoes phase separation into a …


Enhanced Stability Of A Dewetting Thin Liquid Film In A Single-Frequency Vibration Field, Sergey Shklyaev, Mikhail Khenner, Alexei Alabuzhev Jan 2008

Enhanced Stability Of A Dewetting Thin Liquid Film In A Single-Frequency Vibration Field, Sergey Shklyaev, Mikhail Khenner, Alexei Alabuzhev

Mikhail Khenner

Dynamics of a thin dewetting liquid film on a vertically oscillating substrate is considered. We assume moderate vibration frequency and large (compared to the mean film thickness) vibration amplitude. Using the lubrication approximation and the averaging method, we formulate the coupled sets of equations governing the pulsatile and the averaged fluid flows in the film, and then derive the nonlinear amplitude equation for the averaged film thickness. We show that there exists a window in the frequency-amplitude domain where the parametric and shear-flow instabilities of the pulsatile flow do not emerge. As a consequence, in this window the averaged description …
