We develop an approach to utilize anisotropic metamaterials to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern plasmonics--parasitic scattering of surface waves into free-space modes, opening the road to truly two-dimensional plasmonic optics. We illustrate the developed formalism on the examples of plasmonic refractor and plasmonic crystal, and discuss limitations of the developed technique an...

play a significant role in the theory of functional equations. Some information on the applications of (1.1) and (1.2) in the determination of substructures of algebraical structures, in the theory of geometric objects and classification of near-rings and quasialgebras, can be found, for example, in [1–5] and in the recent survey paper [6]. At the 38th International Symposium on Functional Equa...

abstract. let x be a vector space over a field k of real or complex numbers.we will prove the superstability of the following golab-schinzel type equationf(x + g(x)y) = f(x)f(y); x; y 2 x;where f; g are unknown functions (satisfying some assumptions). then we generalize the superstability result for this equation with values in the field of complex numbers to the case of an arbitrary hilbert spac...

In this work, two novel models have been proposed based on semi-empirical and factional calculus incorporating non-integer time derivatives in the Fick’s first law of anomalous diffusion. The experimental data has collected from literature 15 kinetics investigated a convective dryer under effect temperatures ranging 40 to 80 °C at 10 interval, thickness slices 2 6 mm interval. dataset was apple...

An assay technique, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay, is described for the quantitative determination of morphine derivatives in biological fluids. An enzyme is labeled with morphine. When the enzymelabeled morphine is bound by antimorphine antibodies, the enzyme is rendered inactive. Free morphine competes with enzyme-morphine for antibody binding sites preventing inhibition of enzyme activity. ...

Let $X$ be a vector space over a field $K$ of real or complex numbers. We will prove the superstability of the following Go{l}c{a}b-Schinzel type equation$$f(x+g(x)y)=f(x)f(y), x,yin X,$$where $f,g:Xrightarrow K$ are unknown functions (satisfying some assumptions). Then we generalize the superstability result for this equation with values in the field of complex numbers to the case of an arbitr...

Orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. Intensification is possible using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping and produce large quantities of fruit compared to the amount of wood produced. Therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of ...
