Tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) nanoparticles were synthesized from thezirconium chloride using the co-precipitation technique and characterized by variousmeasurement techniques. FESEM analysis further revealed spherical shaped NPs andHR-TEM analysis determined the size of the particles in the range of 14.5 nm. The bandgap energy was estimated 4.0 eV. The UV (350 nm) emissi...

We present VLA radio continuum measurements of SN1993J in M81 at the frequencies of 0.32 (P-band), 1.3 and 1.7 (L-band), 4.9 (C-band), 8.5 (X-band), and 14.9 (U-band) GHz carried out on December 17 and 21, 2000, about 2820 days after the supernova explosion. We find that a power-law spectrum, free-free absorbed by an homogeneous –or clumpy, but not a mixture of both– distribution of ionized gas...

Nearshore circulation and shoreline setup are forced through the wave radiation stress, which is a function of the frequencydirectional wave spectrum. The radiation stress components often are approximated by assuming a spectrum that is narrow-band in frequency and direction. These narrow-band approximations overestimate the true radiation stress components in 8-m water depth on the Outer Banks...

We present VLA radio continuum measurements of SN1993J in M81 at the frequencies of 0.32 (P-band), 1.3 and 1.7 (L-band), 4.9 (C-band), 8.5 (X-band), and 14.9 (U-band) GHz carried out on December 17 and 21, 2000, about 2820 days after the supernova explosion. We find that a power-law spectrum, free-free absorbed by an homogeneous, or clumpy, distribution of ionized gas yields the best fit to the...

We analyze the existence, stability, and internal modes of gap solitons in nonlinear periodic systems described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a sinusoidal potential, such as photonic crystals, waveguide arrays, optically-induced photonic lattices, and Bose-Einstein condensates loaded onto an optical lattice. We study bifurcations of gap solitons from the band edges of the Floquet-B...

With the increasing demand of wireless communication and the fact of under utilization of wireless spectrum, a lot of researches have developed technologies to enhance the efficiency of spectrum utilization. The spectrum allocation chart by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (NTIA, 2003) indicates high degree legislation of frequency band, in other words, our sky is quite crowded. Howe...

Infrared detectors can be used for a variety of applications such as: using in fiber-optic communications. Conventional technology for IR detectors is using p-i-n structure based on GaAs compound. This paper reports on the design and modeling of an IR detector using a p-i-n GaAs structure. Comsol software is used to simulate the model and the detector is discussed for terminal current, dopant p...

The application of Raman spectroscopy to characterize natively unfolded proteins has been underdeveloped, even though it has significant technical advantages. We propose that a simple three-component band fitting of the amide I region can assist in the conformational characterization of the ensemble of structures present in natively unfolded proteins. The Raman spectra of alpha-synuclein, a pro...

We study two a priori unrelated constructions: the spectrum of edge modes in a band topological insulator or superconductor with a physical edge, and the ground state entanglement spectrum in an extended system where an edge is simulated by an entanglement bipartition. We prove an exact relation between the ground state entanglement spectrum of such a system and the spectrum edge modes of the c...

The current command-and-control regulatory structure for licensing the RF spectrum has been unable to cope with the growing demand for spectrum. This has given rise to an ‘artificial scarcity’ of usable spectrum. Numerous studies have thus begun to examine how the licensed spectrum is actually used, with the goal of not only reforming the spectrum licensing regime but also opening certain under...
