We investigate the ultrafast optoelectronic properties of single Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs core-shell nanowires. The nanowires contain GaAs-based quantum wells. For a resonant excitation of the quantum wells, we find a picosecond photocurrent which is consistent with an ultrafast lateral expansion of the photogenerated charge carriers. This Dember-effect does not occur for an excitation of the GaAs-bas...

Important karstic aquifers exist in west and southwest of Iran. Mansour-Abad Karstic region is located in Shiraz, southwest of Iran. It supplies the drinking water for the whole area by 4 pumping water wells, some of which have water turbidity problem. The present research aims to assess the hydrogeochemistry and turbidity problem in the karstic water production wells. The EC varies between 703...

Assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. However, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. Therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including Na, Mg,...

It is shown that the resonance reported by Szmytkowski and Szmytkowski [Phys. Lett. A 235 (1997) 217] is not a proximity resonance as defined by Heller [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1996) 4122]. Rather, it can be related to a threshold resonance connected to the antisymmetric bound state of the two wells, which enters the continuum when the wells are one scattering length apart. In addition, a surprisi...

In recent work, data-driven sweet spotting technique for shale plays previously explored with vertical wells has been proposed. Here, we extend this technique to multiple formations and formalize a general data-driven workflow to facilitate feature extraction from vertical well logs and predictive modeling of horizontal well production. We also develop an experimental framework that facilitates...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the microbiological quality of well water in the Kalutara district. METHOD A retrospective analysis was carried out of reports on water samples taken from tube wells, protected wells and unprotected wells in Kalutara district in 2007. Information was obtained from laboratory registers and request forms. RESULTS In 2007, the microbiological quality of 185 samples of ...

We study the problem of characterizing quasiconvex hulls for three “solenoidal” (divergence free) wells in dimension three when the wells are pairwise incompatible. A full characterization is achieved by combining certain ideas based on Šverák’s example of a “nontrivial” quasiconvex function and on Müller’s wavelet expansions estimates in terms of the Riesz transform. As a by-product, we obtain...

Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is an uncommon condition of unknown etiology. Wells' syndrome is usually seen in adulthood but very rare in childhood. Although pathogenesis of the disease is not very clear, it is a hypersensitivity reaction developing against a variety of exogenous and endogenous antigenic stimuli. Paraphenylenediamine is a strong allergen frequently used as a tempora...
