A new model for correlating self-diffusion coefficients is proposed here. It based on the entropy scaling concept and makes it possible to quantitatively estimate in any fluid state (subcritical gas liquid as well supercritical states). general relationship between a dimensionless form of coefficient function Tv-residual proposed. This involves thermodynamic properties that were straightforward...

Photoacoustic imaging with a synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is an effective method to improve the lateral resolution for out-of-focus regions in scanning microscopy systems, which commonly require a decent motorized scanning stage for a lateral scan of a transducer to obtain a cross-sectional image. In this study, we propose and test a photoacoustic imaging system with a scanning ...

The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is a well-established method for improving the resolution of an ultrasonic image. A major shortcoming is the inherent assumption that the pulse reflected from a flaw has a spectral content that is independent of the flaw's location relative to the transducer. In this project, we address the issue by using SAFT combined with Wiener filtering and a...

Unstable networks such as wireless mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are radically different from traditional fixed networks like the Internet. The success of these emerging networks is determined by the performance of the communication layers and the transport layer. For the latter, many protocols have been proposed based on adaptations of TCP for such unstable networks. In this paper, we claim ...

The accuracy of several theories for the thermodynamic properties of the Yukawa hard-sphere chain fluid are studied. In particular, we consider the polymer mean spherical approximation (PMSA), the dimer version of thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPTD), and the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable attractive range (SAFT-VR). Since the original version of SAFT-VR for...

Molecular genetic analyses in Arabidopsis disclosed a genetic pathway whereby flowering is induced by the photoperiod. This cascade is examined here within the time course of floral transition in the long-day (LD) plant Sinapis alba induced by a single photoperiodic cycle. In addition to previously available sequences, the cloning of CONSTANS (SaCO) and FLOWERING LOCUS T (SaFT) homologues allow...

Kurzfassung. Die Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) ist ein Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von HF-Bildern, die an unterschiedlichen Prüfkopfpositionen aufgenommen wurden. Es wird in der zerstörungsfreien Werkstoffprüfung genutzt, um eine Abbildung von Materialfehlern innerhalb des Gebietes zu erstellen, auf das die Rekonstruktion angewandt wird. Die nach Abschluss der SAFT-Rekonstruktion ...
