Introduction In a recent paper NOGuCHI (2) described histological studies made on the structure of Russian sunflower leaves grown from seeds irradiated at the stage of incipient germination, with hard, or short wave-length, x-rays. This paper describes a similar study in which the seeds used were dormant soy beans and the radiation was soft, or long wave-length, x-rays generated by a gas x-ray ...

Linear chains of metal nanoparticles coupled with dielectric surfaces support a variety of optical phenomena including traveling and leaky waves of several types. We investigate the chain-surface interactions and show that traveling waves can remain bound to the chain, radiate into surface wave beams, or radiate into space and surface wave beams. Radiation into surface waves may be exploited to...

recently a new structure called groove gap waveguide (GGW) is ‎introduced to implement low loss microwave component devices ‎especially for millimeter wave applications. This paper presents a ‎new type of H-plane horn antenna making use of this new technology ‎in which backward radiation is significantly suppressed by ‎introducing a high impedance surface at the antenna aperture. The ‎high impe...

in recent years reflectarray antennas have received considerable attention due to their unique capabilities. however, due to their large size, analyzing the performance of these antennas using traditional full wave finite-difference and finite-element techniques requires considerable computational resources. in this paper, we present an efficient method to accurately analyze these class of ante...

In this paper, we analyze the thermal radiation and chemical reaction impacts on MHD peristaltic motion of the Eyring-Powell fluid through a porous medium in a channel with compliant walls under slip conditions for velocity, temperature, and concentration. Assumptions of a long wave length and low Reynolds number are considered. The modeled equations are computed by using the perturbation metho...

The subje t of this paper is to present a theory for the dynami radiation for e produ ed by dual-frequen y ultrasound beams in lossless and non-dispersive uids. A formula for the dynami radiation for e exerted on a three-dimensional obje t by a dual-frequen y beam is obtained stemming from the uid dynami s equations. Dependen e of the dynami radiation for e to nonlinear e e ts of the medium is ...

In 1976 Byer proposed using stimulated rotational Raman scattering in hydrogen gas as an efficient method of frequency conversion in the infrared.' In particular, it was noted that stimulated Raman scattering in para-H 2 gas with a CO2 laser pump generates 16-gm radiation, which is of potential use for UF 6 isotope enrichment. It was subsequently learned that others have also suggested stimulat...

We study the secular evolution and gravitational wave signature of a newly-formed, rapidly rotating neutron star. The neutron star may arise from core collapse in a massive star or from the accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf. After a brief dynamical phase, the nascent neutron star settles into an axisymmetric, secularly unstable equilibrium state. Gravitational radiation drives the sta...
