fractional time derivative arising in ocean engineering models

The fractional Camassa-Holm equation is generally used as a powerful tool in computer simulations of water waves in shallow water, coastal and harbor models. In this paper, new wave solutions of this equation are obtained by using a new extended direct algebraic method. Thirty-six completely new solutions are obtained and are graphically represented. These solutions may motivate future research on the topic.C1 [Tozar, Ali] Mustafa Kemal Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Phys, Antakya, Turkey.[Kurt, Ali] Pamukkale Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Math, Denizli, Turkey.[Tasbozan, Orkun] Mustafa Kemal Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Math, Antakya, Turkey

of Obliquely Interacting Waves in Shallow Waters

In this study, the potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (pKP) equation, which describes the oblique interaction of surface waves in shallow waters, is solved by the new extended direct algebraic method. The results of the study show that by applying the new direct algebraic method to the pKP equation, the behavior of the obliquely interacting surface waves in two dimensions can be analyzed. This article fairly clarifies the behaviors of surface waves in shallow waters. In the literature, several mathematical models have been developed in attempt to study these behaviors, with nonlinear mathematics being one of the most important steps; however, the investigations are still at a level that can be called 'baby steps'. Therefore, every study to be carried out in this context is of great importance. Thus, this study will serve as a reference to guide scientists working in this field.C1 [Kurt, Ali] Pamukkale Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Math, TR-20160 Denizli, Turkey.[Tozar, Ali] Mustafa Kemal Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Phys, TR-31001 Antakya, Turkey.[Tasbozan, Orkun] Mustafa Kemal Univ, Fac Sci & Art, Dept Math, TR-31001 Antakya, Turkey

New optical solutions of complex Ginzburg–Landau equation arising in semiconductor lasers

Nonlinear optics draws much attention by physicists and mathematicians due to its challenging mathematical structure. The study of non-hamiltonian and dissipative systems is one of the most complicated and challenging issues of nonlinear optics. Recent studies showed that there is a close relationship between superconductivity, Bose–Einstein condensation, and semiconductor lasers. Therefore, the cubic complex Ginzburg–Landau (CGLE) equation is thought to be a useful tool in investigating nonlinear optical events. On the other hand, the CGLE is a very general type of equation that governing a vast variety of bifurcations and nonlinear wave phenomena in spatiotemporally extended systems. In this article, we acquire the new wave solution of time fractional CGLE with the aid of Jacobi elliptic expansion method. © 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature

Photoactive chlorpromazine and promazine drugs exposed to hypergravity conditions after interaction with UV laser radiation

© 2021 IAALong-term space missions must be prepared to provide means to treat astronauts' illnesses that could occur at take-off, during flights or arriving on other planets. This could be achieved using multipurpose medicines. Phenothiazine derivatives, normally used to treat mental and emotional disorders, are photosensitive drugs and in solutions undergo molecular modifications by exposure to UV laser radiation, which leads to transformation of a parent-compound into photoproducts with increased antimicrobial activity when compared to unirradiated solutions. Since space missions involve, even if only for short durations, hypergravity environment transitions, their effects on unirradiated and laser irradiated chlorpromazine and promazine aqueous solutions were studied in this paper. The experiment was performed at the European Space Agency's Large Diameter Centrifuge, subjecting solutions at 20 times Earth's gravitational acceleration. Since, generally, little is known about medicines exposed to high-g levels, this research brings an insight into the impact of hypergravity on phenothiazines. To evaluate drug stability, samples were assessed pre- and post-hypergravity treatment by pH measurements, UV-Vis-NIR/FTIR spectroscopy and thin layer chromatography. No significant changes between uncentrifuged and centrifuged samples were evidenced subsequent to hypergravity exposure, emphasising the stability of unirradiated and laser irradiated phenothiazines, which may allow their use during future space missions

Microvolumetric droplets in air in hypergravity conditions

The interaction of laser modified medicine solutions with hydrophilic and hydrophobic target surfaces has been investigated under the effect of simulated hypergravity conditions, employing the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) facility, developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). Experiments have been performed within the HyperMed project under the aegis of the ESA “Spin Your Thesis!” 2015 programme. During centrifugation, real-time video files have been recorded regarding generation of ultrapure water, unexposed and laser exposed chlorpromazine aqueous pendant droplets, followed by their detachment due to the exerted high gravitational accelerations and finally by the formation of sessile droplets on target surfaces. In this way, information about the volume of the generated droplet, the degree of wetting and its time evolution at different hypergravity levels has been obtained. Phenothiazine solutions irradiated with UV laser radiation indicate reduced surface tension, thus presenting better wetting properties. Target surfaces impregnated with medicine solutions may constitute an unconventional tool and even vector in developing new drug delivery systems. Such a wetting process under high g-level conditions may be useful in space medicine applications. Microorganisms can survive, grow and even proliferate under the effect of increased gravity. Therefore, upon launching of a spacecraft, during a long-term mission in microgravity conditions, astronauts and spacecraft surfaces may require treatment and decontamination, respectively, against onboard infectious microbes. Since non-terrestrial gravity may alter drug properties, medicine droplets behaviour in interaction with target surfaces under hypergravity conditions is the aim of the present study

Structural, Micromechanical and Tribological Characterization of Zn–Ni Coatings: Effect of Sulfate Bath Composition

International audienceZn and Zn-Ni alloy coatings were electrode-posited on mild steel from sulfate-based bath containing Sn as additive. The effect of Ni content on the microstructure, morphology, micro hardness and the tribological behavior of these coatings were studied and discussed. Adding Sn in the sulfate bath had a significant effect on the surface morphology, particularly on the Zn-8 wt% Ni coatings. By increasing the Ni concentration from 8 to 14 wt%, the X-ray patterns showed that the phase structure of Zn-Ni alloy coatings was changed from g-phase Ni 3 Zn 22 to c-phase Ni 5 Zn 21. The plastic deformation and delamination were found to be wear mechanisms for the investigated coatings. While the Zn-14 wt% Ni alloys had the best wear resistance, Zn films had the most severe wear volume loss and the highest friction coefficient
