in order to comparison of weeds mechanical control for sugar beet, a rotary cultivator was designed and constructed in first year, and compared with other mechanical control in second year. five treatments, included: rotary hoe cultivator, furrower cultivator, rotary cultivator, no weeding and manual weeding were compared. experiment design was random complete blocks design (rcbd) with three re...

We report on a hybrid InP/Si photonic crystal nanobeam laser emitting at 1578 nm with a low threshold power of ~14.7 μW. Laser gain is provided from a single InAsP quantum well embedded in a 155 nm InP layer bonded on a standard silicon-on-insulator wafer. This miniaturized nanolaser, with an extremely small modal volume of 0.375(λ/n)(3), is a promising and efficient light source for silicon ph...

A combinatorial high-throughput approach is used to investigate a solution cast gradient consisting of colloidal gold nanoparticles on top of a silicon substrate by means of a X-ray nanobeam. Classification algorithms are used to reveal and visualize structural transitions from a frozen colloidal solution to a well-defined nanostructure. Prominent length scales on the order of 100 nm are observ...

Scalable microfabrication technology has enabled semiconductor and microelectronics industries, among other fields. Meanwhile, rapid and sensitive bio-molecule detection is increasingly important for drug discovery and biomedical diagnostics. In this work, we designed and demonstrated that photonic crystal sensor chips have high sensitivity for protein detection and can be mass-produced with sc...

We demonstrate photonic crystal nanobeam cavities that support both TE- and TM-polarized modes, each with a Q factor greater than one million and a mode volume on the order of the cubic wavelength. We show that these orthogonally polarized modes have a tunable frequency separation and a high nonlinear spatial overlap. We expect these cavities to have a variety of applications in resonance-enhan...

This study presents a mathematical size-dependent model capable of investigating the dynamic behavior sandwich perforated nanobeam incorporating flexoelectricity effect. The nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory is developed for both continuum mechanics and flexoelectricity. Closed forms equivalent geometrical variables are developed. Hamiltonian principle exploited to derive governing equ...

Introduction: As has been shown in several previous papers, biconically tapered single-mode fibres allow power transmission with a quasisinusoidal dependence on wavelength, elongation and surrounding medium refractive index. Tapered fibres have particular advantages for sensor and wavelength niters applications with a prescribed response. The biconic tapered structure is composed of a multimode...

A polygon A in a configuration C is called rotary if C admits an automorphism which acts upon A as a one-step rotation. We study rotary polygons and their orbits under the group of automorphisms (and antimorphisms) of C. We determine the number of such orbits for several symmetry types of rotary polygons in the case when C is flag-transitive. As an example, we provide tables of flag-transitive ...
