This article presents a unified kinetic formulation of partially coherent nonlinear optical waves propagating in a noninstantaneous response Kerr medium. We derive a kinetic equation that combines the weak Langmuir turbulence kinetic equation and a Vlasov-like equation within a general framework: It describes the evolution of the spectrum of a random field that exhibits a quasistationary statis...

We first observed an unique pyrene (Py) emission from 10-(1-(6-hexyl)pyrenyl)decanoic acid (1,6-HPDA) Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. In the fluorescence spectra of the 1,6-HPDA LB films, the normal bands of monomer and excimer emission of Py were absent but the new structured emission band with peaks at Manuscript

Starting from a general form of the Zakharov equations the relations for electric fields and wave energy distributions at the very beginning of parametric instabilities are derived in dependence on initial Langmuir wave parameters. The corresponding dispersion equations in general and approximative forms are presented. These equations of the order up to eleven, with a different level of physica...

salicylic acid is an important organic acid in plants rhizosphere soil exuded in the phosphorus (p) deficiency condition. to study the sorption behavior of p in the presence of salicylic acid, a batch experiment was conducted with different concentrations of salicylic acid (0, 2, 5 and 10mm) and p (0- 45 mg p/l) in a calcareous soil. the results showed that application salicylic acid decreased ...

The purification and concentration of enzymes by adsorption on charcoal, tannin, aluminum hydroxide, ion exchange resins, and so forth, has been an established practice in the laboratory. Some years before this work was done in 1949, alkali-cooked lignin was used as an adsorbent for mold and malt amylase (Wallerstein et al., 1945). In this paper is described our study of the adsorption of the a...

The use of Azolla filiculoides (AF) for the removal of Acid Red 88 dye (AR88) from aqueous solutions at different contact times, temperatures, pH, adsorbent doses and initial dye concentration was investigated. The extent of dye removal decreased with increasing adsorbent dosage and AR88 concentration, also increased with increasing contact time and temperature. The adsorption isotherms are des...

In the present work, the usefulness of dried activated sludge has been investigated for the removal of copper ions from synthetic aqueous solutions. Kinetic data and equilibrium sorption isotherm were measured in batch conditions. The influence of some parameters such as: contact time, initial copper concentration, initial pH of solution and copper salt nature on copper biosorption kinetics has...

The chemically crosslinked metal-complexed chitosans were synthesized by using the ion-imprinting method from a chitosan with four metals (Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II)) as templates and glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. The influences of adsorption conditions, including molar ratios of crosslinker/chitosan and pH changes, were studied. They were used to investigate for comparative adsorptio...

In this paper, application of sawdust prepared from Narra wood (SD) modified with cationic surfactant of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (SD/CTAB) was used for removal of two typical acid dyes commercially named as Acid Green 25 (AG25) and Acid Red 14 (AR14) from aqueous solutions. The effects of experimental variables, such as pH, initial dye concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time and temp...

Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is used as a noninvasive probe of two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectricity in Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of copolymer vinylidene fluoride with trifluorethylene. The surface 2D ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition in the topmost layer of LB films and a thickness independent (almost 2D) transition in the bulk of these films are observed in temperatur...
