Quantum ring: HHG spectrum control
2015
Atoms, molecules , clusters and other systems driven by a strong laser field of frequency \omega_L can emit a spectrum of laser harmonics. The high harmonics generation (HHG) phenomen is strongly affected by the symmetries of the system. It is well known that systems with rotational symmetries emit only odd harmonics. Numerous researcher make mainly attention to the possibilities to set different initial conditions in order to control the spectrum. Recently, the study of nanotechnology is hot-topics and in particular the study of very symmetric systems such as fullerene, nanoring and structured nanoring (nanoring with identical and symmetric scattering centers). Therefore, it is natural and…
Study Crafting and Self-Undermining in Higher Education Students: A Weekly Diary Study on the Antecedents.
2021
The aim of the current study is to validate the adaptation of the job demands–resources theory to the study context. In addition, we introduce the concepts study crafting and self-undermining to the study demands–resources framework by examining the mediating role of engagement and exhaustion in the relationship between study characteristics and study crafting and self-undermining. Over four consecutive weeks, 205 higher education students answered a questionnaire about their weekly study demands and resources, their well-being (i.e., engagement, exhaustion), and their study crafting and self-undermining behaviors. Multilevel structural equation modeling (controlling for autoregressors of m…
The perceived time value importance for enrolment in online masters courses: an extension of the Technology Acceptance Model
2020
Purpose. The main objective of this research is to obtain a better understanding of the impact of perceived time value on the intention of pursuing an online Master’s degree for its applicants. For this reason, perceived time value is added to the Technology Acceptance Model. Design/methodology/approach. Data are collected from a purposive sample of 147 individuals, who were interested to continue their higher education. Both, online and personal surveys are used to collect data. Achieved data are analysed by structural equation modelling. Findings. The results show that the perceived time value is significantly related to the ease of use and perceived utility, which in turn, show a signifi…
Large eddy simulations on the effect of the irregular roughness shape on turbulent channel flows
2019
Abstract Large Eddy Simulations (LES) are carried out to investigate on the mean flow in turbulent channel flows over irregular rough surfaces. Here the attention is focused to selectively investigate on the effect induced by crests or cavities of the roughness. The irregular shape is generated through the super-imposition of sinusoidal functions having random amplitude and four different wave-lengths. The irregular roughness profile is reproduced along the spanwise direction in order to obtain a 2D rough shape. The analysis of the mean velocity profiles shows that roughness crests induce higher effect in the outer-region whereas roughness cavities cause the highest effects in the inner-reg…
Quasi-rational solutions of the Hirota equation depending on multi-parameters and rogue waves
2023
Quasi-rational solutions to the Hirota equation are given. We construct explicit expressions of these solutions for the first orders. As a byproduct, we get quasi-rational solutions to the focusing NLS equation and also rational solutions to the mKdV equation. We study the patterns of these configurations in the (x, t) plane.
Hybrid approximation for solutions of high-order integro-differential equations including variable delay
2020
Abstract In this study, a numerical technique with hybrid approximation is developed for solving high-order linear integro-differential equations including variable delay under the initial conditions. These type of problems are of applications in mathematical physics, mechanics, natural sciences, electronics and computer science. The aim of this work is to investigate an approximation with the matrix forms of Taylor and Laguerre polynomials along with standard collocation points. By the reduction of the solution of this problem with regard to the matrix relations, the solution of a system of algebraic equations has been obtained. The usefulness of this algorithm has been demonstrated by num…
Unsteadiness and transition to turbulence in woven spacer filled channels for Membrane Distillation
2017
To characterize the performance of Membrane Distillation (MD) modules, channels filled with woven spacers were investigated by Computational Fluid Dynamics (including Direct Numerical Simulations and the use of the SST k-Ï turbulence model) and by parallel experiments with Thermochromic Liquid Crystals. The cases considered here regard mutually orthogonal filaments with a spacer pitch to channel height ratio P/H=2, two spacer orientations θ with respect to the main flow (0° and 45°), and bulk Reynolds numbers Re from â¼200 to â¼2000, an interval of great interest in practical MD applications. For both values of θ, CFD predicted steady-state flow for Re up to â¼300, and chaotic flow …
Distribution of relaxation times in 0.5PMN-0.5PSN ceramics
2007
Dielectric properties of chemically ordered and disordered 0.5PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-0.5 PbSc1/2Nb1/2O3 (0.5PMN-0.5PSN) ceramics were investigated in frequency range from 20 Hz to 3 GHz by dielectric spectroscopy. The broad dielectric dispersion, similar to this typically obtained for relaxor ferroelectrics (RFE), was observed in both ceramics below 350 K. The frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity of these ceramics were analyzed in terms of the distribution of relaxation times and showed the splitting into two components at lower temperatures. The longest relaxation times part slows down following Vogel-Fulcher law with lower freezing temperature compare with typical RFE like PbMg1/3Nb2/3…
Influence of the boundary conditions on heat and mass transfer in spacer-filled channels
2017
The purpose of this study is to discuss some problems which arise in heat or mass transfer in complex channels, with special reference to the spacer-filled channels adopted in membrane processes. Among the issues addressed are the consistent definition of local and mean heat or mass transfer coefficients; the influence of the wall boundary conditions; the influence of one-side versus two-side heat/mass transfer. Most of the results discussed were obtained by finite volume CFD simulations concerning heat transfer in Membrane Distillation or mass transfer in Electrodialysis and Reverse Electrodialysis, but many of the conclusions apply also to different processes involving geometrically compl…
