Computation of Dyadic Green's Functions for Electrodynamics in Quasi-Static Approximation with Tensor Conductivity

Homogeneous non-dispersive anisotropic materials, characterized by a positive constant permeability and a symmetric positive definite conductivity tensor, are considered in the paper. In these anisotropic materials, the electric and magnetic dyadic Green's functions are defined as electric and magnetic fields arising from impulsive current dipoles and satisfying the time-dependent Maxwell's equations in quasi-static approximation. A new method of deriving these dyadic Green's functions is suggested in the paper. This method consists of several steps: equations for electric and magnetic dyadic Green's functions are written in terms of the Fourier modes; explicit formulae for the Fourier modes of dyadic Green's functions are derived using the matrix transformations and solutions of some ordinary differential equations depending on the Fourier parameters; the inverse Fourier transform is applied to obtained formulae to find explicit formulae for dyadic Green's functions.

Method for numerical integration of rapidly oscillating functions in diffraction theory

The quadrature of general, highly oscillatory integrals is a relatively complicated computational problem that occurs in a wide range of practical applications, e.g. in physics, chemistry, and image analysis. It is often necessary to use a high number of nodal points with classical quadrature formulas in order to achieve a required accuracy of numerical integration of rapidly oscillating functions. However, an increase in integration points leads to a larger computational time. Our work describes and analyses a method for numerical integration of rapidly oscillating functions, which enables to obtain the required accuracy with a smaller number of nodal points than classical integration rules and with a relatively simple integration formula. The proposed method is generally suitable for integration of rapidly oscillating functions in various applications. The method is demonstrated in examples of calculation of the diffraction integral in optics, where the integrand is often a rapidly oscillatory function. The results can be readily adapted to similar problems from other fields. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Excitation functions of Ir formed in proton-induced reactions on highly enriched Os up to 66 MeV

Cross sections of proton-induced nuclear reactions on highly enriched ¹⁹²Os were measured up to 66 MeV by using the stacked-foil irradiation technique. Excitation functions are presented for the reactions ¹⁹²Os(p,n)¹⁹²Ir, ¹⁹²Os(p,3n)¹⁹⁰Ir, ¹⁹²Os(p,4n)¹⁸⁹Ir, ¹⁹²Os(p,5n)¹⁸⁸Ir, ¹⁹²Os(p,6n)¹⁸⁷Ir and ¹⁹²Os(p,7n)¹⁸⁶Ir. No earlier experimental cross-section data could be found in the literature except for the ¹⁹²Os(p,n)¹⁹²Ir process. Our new experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions by means of the theoretical model code ALICE/ASH. Integral thick-target yield calculations were also performed for the ¹⁹²Os(p,n)¹⁹²Ir and ¹⁹²Os(p,3n)¹⁹⁰Ir reactions to evaluate the ¹⁹⁰Ir contamination level, as a function of energy, in the case of ¹⁹²Ir productions.     

Exploring developmental differences in visual short-term memory and working memory.

Although visuospatial short-term memory tasks have been found to engage more executive resources than do their phonological counterparts, it remains unclear whether this is due to intrinsic differences between the tasks or differences in participants’ experience with them. The authors found 11-year-olds’ performances on both visual short-term and working memory tasks to be more greatly impaired by an executive suppression task (random number generation) than were those of 8-year-olds. Similar findings with adults (e.g., Kane & Engle, 2000) suggest that the imposition of a suppression task may have overloaded the older children’s executive resources, which would otherwise be used for deploying strategies for performing the primary tasks. Conversely, the younger children, who probably never had the capacity or know-how to engage these facilitative strategies in the first place, performed more poorly in the single task condition but were less affected in the dual task condition. These findings suggest that differences in the children’s ability to deploy task-relevant strategy are likely to account for at least part of the executive resource requirements of visual memory tasks.

The development of cognitive skills and gains in academic school readiness for children from low-income families.

This study examined developmental associations between growth in domain-general cognitive processes (working memory and attention control) and growth in domain-specific skills (emergent literacy and numeracy) across the prekindergarten year and their relative contributions to kindergarten reading and math achievement. One hundred sixty-four Head Start children (44% African American or Latino; 57% female) were followed longitudinally. Path analyses revealed that working memory and attention control predicted growth in emergent literacy and numeracy skills during the prekindergarten year and that growth in these domain-general cognitive skills made unique contributions to the prediction of kindergarten math and reading achievement, controlling for growth in domain-specific skills. These findings extend research highlighting the importance of working memory and attention control for academic learning, demonstrating the effects in early childhood, prior to school entry. Implications of these findings for prekindergarten programs are discussed, particularly those designed to reduce the school readiness gaps associated with socioeconomic disadvantage.

利用改进希尔伯特—黄变换进行地震资料时频分析

为了克服常规希尔伯特—黄变换(HHT)的缺陷,消除常规经验模态分解(EMD)产生的本征模态函数分量(IMF)中混叠的振荡模式,本文运用改进HHT,即通过引进小波包变换,首先将信号分解成-系列窄带信号,然后对这些窄带信号进行EMD获得-些IMF分量,再根据相关系数法,保留需要的IMF分量,去除虚假的IMF分量,最后进行HHT求取瞬时频率,得到改进HHT谱。改进HHT摆脱了小波变换中的海森堡测不准原理的限制,以及常规HHT模态混叠对分析的干扰。虽然改进HHT谱高频成分存在跳跃现象,但都围绕在真实频率值周围,并且较小波时频图的频带窄很多,能够反映信号的真实频率特性。数值模拟与实际地震记录处理结果证明了改进HHT的可行性。
