A numerical solution to the time evolution equation of Wigner distribution function (WDF) with an accuracy necessary simulate passage a wave packet past barrier is developed, where quantum effects require high and fine discretization. incident on barrier, portion which tunnels through, demonstrates behavior that can define various characteristic transmission reflection delay (TARD) times useful...

Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), one of five sensors on Terra, has five bands (10 to 14) in the thermal infrared (TIR) region. These TIR bands are radiometrically calibrated by one onboard blackbody with the function of changing temperature between 270 and 340 K. In normal operation the blackbody is set up at 270 K, and a constant coefficient in a quadrati...

The Bragg reflection of water waves by multiple vertical thin plates is investigated numerically and experimentally. problem surface gravity wave interaction with formulated mathematically under the assumption linear theory. Numerical results transmission coefficients are obtained based on dual boundary element method compared in literature. characteristics represented occurring condition, prim...

A simple, low reflection, and highly-efficient pilot-plant scale microwave irradiation reactor for woody biomass pretreatment was fabricated. Pretreatment is an essential process for effective bioethanol production. The fabricated reactor consists of 8 microwave irradiators which are attached to a metal pipe. The woody biomass mixture which contains water and organic acid flows through the meta...
