Two families of models of rotating relativistic disks based on TaubNUT and Kerr metrics are constructed using the well-known “displace, cut and reflect” method. We find that for disks built from a generic stationary axially symmetric metric the “sound velocity”, (pressure/density)1/2, is equal to the geometric mean of the prograde and retrograde geodesic circular velocities of test particles mo...

In this work we demonstrate the use of two-dimensional detectors to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and sensitivity in spectral-domain phase microscopy for subnanometer accuracy measurements. We show that an increase in SNR can be obtained, from 82 dB to 105 dB, using 150 pixel lines of a low-cost CCD camera as compared to a single line, to compute an averaged axial scan. In optimal mec...

Tensegrity structures are a special class of lightweight truss structures, where all truss elements are axially loaded and tensile truss elements are made of strings. This paper presents the dynamic analysis of a tensegrity structure by comparing a finite element model with an identified model obtained from experimental data. Experimental data is obtained by placing a three stage tensegrity str...

The dynamic characteristics of an axisymmetrical linear actuator with axially magnetized moving permanent magnet are obtained using combined field and circuit approach. The magnetic field of the actuator has been analysed using the finite element method over a current-displacement sampling grid. Two field analyses are carried out for each point of the grid one for the real system and one for th...

The continuous scanning mode in three-dimensional (3D) whole-body PET studies has the advantage of axial sensitivity uniformity over the majority of the axial FOV. However, this scan mode requires large data handling compared to conventional discrete scans. In this work, we have implemented and evaluated a new continuous 3D scan method using 'on-the-fly' Fourier rebinning. In this method, sinog...

The synthesis and resolution of a class of chiral organic fluorophores, axially chiral 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacenes (Ax*-BODIPY), is described. Ax*-BODIPYs were prepared through a modular synthesis combined with a late stage Heck functionalisation. Resolution was achieved by preparative chiral HPLC. Absolute stereochemical assignment was performed by comparison of experimental EC...

The aim of this paper is to investigate geometrically nonlinear static analysis of axially functionally graded cantilever beam subjected to transversal non follower load. The considered problem is solved by finite element method with total Lagrangian kinematic approach. The material properties of the beam vary along the longitudinal direction according to the power law function. The finite elem...

Charged axially symmetric solution of the coupled gravitational and electromagnetic fields in the tetrad theory of gravitation is derived. The metric associated with this solution is an axially symmetric metric which is characterized by three parameters " the gravitational mass M, the charge parameter Q and the rotation parameter a ". The parallel vector fields and the electromagnetic vector po...
