The use of optical emission spectroscopy and specifically the OH(A-X) rotational distribution is investigated to obtain gas temperatures in plasmas in and in contact with liquids. The rotational distribution of OH(A-X) is often non-Boltzmann and only the rotational lines with the smallest rotational numbers are in equilibrium with the gas temperature. The possible reasons of this non-equilibriu...

magnetotelluric (mt) method is an electromagnetic technique that uses the earth natural field to map the electrical resistivity changes in subsurface structures. because of the high penetration depth of the electromagnetic fields in this method (tens of meters to tens of kilometers), the mt data is used to investigate the shallow to deep subsurface geoelectrical structures and their dimensions....

We have used time-resolved phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) to study the rotational dynamics of chicken gizzard regulatory light chain (RLC) bound to scallop adductor muscle myofibrils in key physiological states. Native RLC from scallop myofibrils was extracted and replaced completely with gizzard RLC labeled specifically at Cys 108 with erythrosin iodoacetamide (ErIA). The calcium sensitivity...

Close-coupling calculations and experiment are combined in this work, which is aimed at establishing a set of state-to-state rate coefficients for elementary processes i j → m in O2:O2 collisions at low temperature involving the rotational states i, j, ,m of the vibrational ground state of O2( − g ). First, a set of cross sections for inelastic collisions is calculated as a function of the coll...

Nowadays, piezoelectric materials have wide applications in various industries. Therefore, investigation of these materials and their applications has a special importance. In this paper first, the natural frequencies of a traveling-wave piezoelectric motor are achieved, using finite elements simulations. Then, applying an alternative electrical voltage to the piezoelectric ring, a traveling wa...

The basic aim of present study is to examine the effect of main friction stir welding (FSW) parameters on the quality of AA 6063 plate welds. Welding of AA6063 was carried out by a vertical milling machine, using different tools with a stationary shoulder and during the welding no external heating system was used. Different welding parameters studied were the tool rotational speed which varied ...

In this paper, vibration analysis of multiple-stepped Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beams carrying point masses is presented analytically for various boundary conditions. Each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertias. The method of solution is “transfer matrix method” which is based on the changes in the vibration modes at the vicinity of any discontinu...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

Total rotational energy transfer rates have been measured at 1330 K for specific rotational levels in the OH A2X +, v' = 0 state in collisions with H20. Rotational levels ranging from N' = 0 to 15 were studied. Measurements were performed in the post-flame region of a stoichiometric H2/O2/He flame operating at 25 mbar. Quenching rates following excitation of individual upper rotational states w...
