Utilizing an eigenfunction decomposition, we study the growth and spectra of energy in the vortical (geostrophic) and wave (ageostrophic) modes of a three-dimensional (3D) rotating stratified fluid as a function of dispersion, i.e. of ǫ = f/N , where f,N are the Coriolis parameter and Brunt-Vaisala frequency. Throughout we employ a random large scale forcing in a unit aspect ratio domain and se...

Bitumen extracted from oil sands is a highly viscous fluid; thus, its transportation via pipelines in original form resembles major challenge. Partial upgrading recently proposed approach that aims to reduce bitumen's viscosity meet the pipeline specifications. To optimize process and make it more cost-effective, novel researched this study. Ionic surfactants were for first time employed promot...

Bell's theorem asserts that no model satisfies all of the plausible physical assumptions outcome independence (OI), measurement (MI) and Parameter Independence (PI) can reproduce quantum mechanics. Here I find optimum saturates CHSH inequality for case hold but parameter dependence is allowed. bound as a function measure show proposed by [New Journal Physics,12(8):083051] optimal one-way depend...

We investigated post-irradiation variations of the radiation induced attenuation (RIA) polymer perfluorinated (CYTOP) optical fiber exposed to gamma radiation. The RIA measured five months after irradiation was qualitatively similar that several hours irradiation. However, quantitatively evolution significantly depends on spectral range: in visible range, transmission partly recovers, while inf...

The dynamic range is a ratio between the maximum and minimum physical measures. Its definition depends on what the dynamic range refers to. For a scene, dynamic range is the ratio between the brightest and darkest parts of the scene. For a camera, dynamic range is the ratio of saturation to noise. More specifically, ratio of the intensity that just saturates the camera to the intensity that jus...

Using the holographic mapping to a gravity dual, we calculate 2-point functions, Wilson loops, and entanglement entropy in strongly coupled field theories in d=2, 3, and 4 to probe the scale dependence of thermalization following a sudden injection of energy. For homogeneous initial conditions, the entanglement entropy thermalizes slowest and sets a time scale for equilibration that saturates a...

We investigated the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stability of hollow-fiber compression for high-energy few-cycle pulse generation. Saturation of the output pulse energy is observed at 0.6 mJ for a 260 μm inner-diameter, 1 m long fiber, statically filled with neon. The pressure is adjusted to achieve output spectra supporting sub-4-fs pulses. The maximum output pulse energy can be increased to 0...

We use molecular dynamics to study the kinetics of surface enrichment (SE) in a stable homogeneous mixture (AB), placed in contact with a surface which preferentially attracts A. The SE profiles show a characteristic double-exponential behavior with two length scales: ξ(-), which rapidly saturates to its equilibrium value, and ξ(+), which diverges as a power-law with time (ξ(+)∼t(θ)). We find t...

We report on the effect of decoherence on polariton bistability. The polariton hysteresis loop is shown to collapse in a similar way when increasing the temperature or under nonresonant excitation power. The hysteresis upward threshold is pulled to lower excitation power, whereas the downward threshold remains almost constant. This effect is explained by the population of an incoherent reservoi...

Interaction of incompressible and compressible MHD fluctuations on a one-dimensional plasma inhomogeneity, transverse to the magnetic field, is considered in the three-dimensional regime. An initially incompressible (Alfvénic) MHD fluctuation generates, by linear coupling, compressible (magnetoacoustic) fluctuations. In the initial stage of the interaction, the efficiency of the coupling is enh...
