A New Spectral Photometer

A lithium internal-standard flame photometer.

Performance characteristics of a new photometer with a moving filter tape for luminescence assay.

The performance characteristics of a new photometer that incorporated a reaction system consisting of a movable filtration tape have been studied for use with the firefly luciferase assay for adenosine 5'-triphosphate. Precision, linearity, and sensitivity are given for measuring a graded series of constant-light emitters, concentrations of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, and washed bacterial cells....

OPTIMA: A Photon Counting High-Speed Photometer

OPTIMA is a small, versatile high-speed photometer which is primarily intended for time resolved observations of young high energy pulsars at optical wavelengths. The detector system consists of eight fiber fed photon counters based on avalanche photodiodes, a GPS timing receiver, an integrating CCD camera to ensure the correct pointing of the telescope and a computerized control unit. Since Ja...

A new algorithm for solving Van der Pol equation based on piecewise spectral Adomian decomposition ‎method‎

‎‎In this article‎, ‎a new method is introduced to give approximate solution to Van der Pol equation‎. ‎The proposed method is based on the combination of two different methods‎, ‎the spectral Adomian decomposition method (SADM) and piecewise method‎, ‎called the piecewise Adomian decomposition method (PSADM)‎. ‎The numerical results obtained from the proposed method show that this method is an...

A NEW MEMETIC SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECTRAL LAYOUT DESIGN OF BRACED FRAMES

For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...
