We present an algorithm specifically tailored for solving kinetic equations onto GPUs. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated by solving the one-dimensional shock wave structure problem and a two-dimensional low Mach number driven cavity flow. Computational results show that it is possible to cut down the computing time of the sequential codes of two order of magnitudes. The algorithm ...

We present a novel method for remote release of an encapsulated material from polyelectrolyte capsules based on laser light illumination. Two different components were introduced in the polyelectrolyte shells of PAH/PSS capsules-either Ag nanoparticles or IR dye-to induce absorption of light. Under laser illumination the capsules containing Ag nanoparticles or IR dye were deformed or cut, thus ...

Over 2 mW of continuous-wave tunable 194-nm light is produced by sum-frequency mixing approximately 500 mW of 792-nm and 500 mW of 257-nm radiation in beta-barium borate (BBO). The powers in both fundamental beams are enhanced in separate ring cavities whose optical paths overlap in the Brewster-cut BBO crystal. Due to the higher circulating fundamental powers, the sum-frequency-generated power...

In this paper, a new type of waveguide structure has been investigated. The structure can be fabricated using printedcircuit techniques. The characteristic equations for the different modes of the structure have been derived and the dispersion characteristics have been obtained using MATLAB. The slow-wave nature of the structure, the cut-off behaviour of different modes, and the effects of vari...

We show that the transient spectrum of a continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser during the initial stage of the buildup, which exhibits multiple clusters (of longitudinal modes), is due to the spectral windowing effect of the Brewster-angle-cut Ti:sapphire crystal, which acts as a birefringent filter in the laser cavity. This effect is also responsible for certain spectral features of a passively mo...

A short-wave problem of reflection and radiation by an open end of a two-dimensional planar waveguide is studied. The incident mode is assumed to have frequency close to the cut-off. The problem is studied in the parabolic approximation. A recently developed approach based on the embedding formula and the “spectral” equation for the directivity of an edge Green’s function is applied to the prob...

We investigate several bandwidths of non-collinear phase-matching second harmonic generation, which is generated by sum-frequency of the incident and reflected wave on the inner surface of a z-cut 5%/mol MgO : LiNbO₃ crystal. The bandwidths of angle, temperature and wavelength in this configuration are measured to be about 0.51°, 4.1°C and 6 nm, respectively. The large acceptance of non-colline...

introduction: this study was conducted to evaluate the fibroblast healing of tenotomized dutch rabbits treated with a low power laser radiation. materials and methods: male rabbits were divided in a control and exprerimental groups randomly. achills tendon of animals was cut about 1.5cm above its calcaneal insertion and sutured according to the modified kessler procedure. in the control groups,...

INTRODUCTION In this paper, X-band COSMO-SkyMed© Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are first experimented as wind field forcing of coastal wind-wave oceanographic modeling for sea-wave numerical simulation. Experiments consist of numerical wave simulations of the SWAN model accomplished with respect to some relevant wave storms recorded in the test area during the winter season of 2010. The w...
