Significance of fluid regime in biological filtration

A dispersed flow model previously developed to study substrate utilization in unsaturated media was experimentally verified and its practical application was considered. For this purpose, measurements were made using tap water and a synthetic feed solution. The importance of the change in fluid regime as regards to the simultaneous transport and reaction within biological filters were demonstrated. The effect of drop formation and the breakage of liquid jets inside the filters on substrate utilization was also shown.     

Dispersion—flocculation studies on a Goethite-clay system

Dispersion–flocculation studies on a Goethite–clay system using flocculants were carried out as a function of flocculant concentrations, pH of slurry, time of agitation and dispersant dosage. Also, the effects of pH and polymer concentrations on the adsorption behaviour of the system were investigated. Results show that well flocculated goethite was preferentially obtained from 4% goethite/kaolinite clay suspensions, with 50 ppm causticised starch in the slurry at pH values of 3–11·5 and with 50 ppm polyacrylamide at pH values of 3–8. Good flocs were also obtained on flocculation of the goethite suspension with 50 ppm polyacrylamide at pH values of 5–7, while the kaolinite suspension did not respond to the same dosage of causticised starch in the same pH range. Results further reveal that for the goethite/kaolinite suspension, the best results was obtained with 50 ppm polyacrylamide at pH values of 7–10. Based on the data generated in the study, it was concluded that causticised starch is a better flocculant than polyacrylamide for goethite suspensions although polyacrylamide is an excellent flocculant for kaolinite suspensions.

Modeling of the Electrostatic (Plasmon) Resonances in Metallic and Semiconductor Nanoparticles

Plasmon (electrostatic) resonances are treated as an eigenvalue problem for specific boundary integral equation. This leads to direct calculation of resonance values of permittivity and resonance frequency. The technique is illustrated by numerical examples of calculation of resonance frequencies for 3D nanoparticles.     

Characterization of indoor wireless channel at 5 GHz U-NII bands

The paper reports on the experiments undertaken at the University of Wollongong to characterise fading profiles and delay parameters of an indoor wireless channels at 5 GHz U-NII bands. The measurements were undertaken at different locations around the campus with results recorded for a post-processing to calculate the Rician K-factor, the level crossing rate and the average fade duration as well as mean excess delay, rms delay spread, and the coherence bandwidth of the channel. The presented measurement results can be useful in developing a Markov chain based model of the transport channel for IEEE802.11a or HYPRLAN-2 networks. The results also indicate scenarios where the coherence bandwidth of the channel is smaller than the width of the sub-carrier OFDM channels in either of the mentioned systems.     

介质周期结构色散特性的严格分析：一种三维边值问题的求解方法

本文以耦合模理论和Ｆｌｏｑｕｅｔ理论为基础，把本征模展开与空间谐波展开巧妙地结合起来，严格分析了斜入射情况下介质周期结构的色散特性－三维边值问题。这种新方法既避免了通常耦合模方法分析此类问题所引入的微扰近似，又比Ｆｌｏｑｕｅｔ方法简单方便。通过对斜入射情况下一些介质结构滤波特性的数值分析，证实了本文方法的有效性，精确性和实用性。     

负色散镜的设计、制备及在掺钛蓝宝石激光谐振腔内的使用

根据钛宝石激光器的要求设计了性能优良的两种负色散镜(NDM1和NDM2)。NDM1同时引入啁啾效应和G-T效应产生大的群延迟色散量以减少光在负色散镜上的反射次数。NDM2仅引入G-T效应产生较小的群延迟色散以补偿腔内自相位调制带来的部分啁啾。选用离子束溅射法制备了这两种负色散镜。用分光光度计测试了它们的透射率。结果表明,所制备的负色散镜的性能与设计性能非常接近。使用这两种负色散镜进行掺钛蓝宝石激光谐振腔内色散补偿实现了飞秒脉冲锁模,获得了15 fs的超短脉冲。
