A local defect resonance for linear and nonlinear ultrasonic thermography

An efficient wave-defect interaction is the key to a high thermal response of flaws in ultrasonic thermography. To selectively enhance defect vibrations a concept of local defect resonance is developed and applied to ultrasonic activation of defects. The frequency match between the defect resonance frequency and the probing ultrasonic wave results in a substantial rise of a local defect temperature. The defect resonance is accompanied by depletion of the excitation frequency vibration due to nonlinear frequency conversion to higher harmonics. The local generation of higher frequency components provides a high thermal defect response in such an acoustically nonlinear thermography mode

He-broadening and shift coefficients of water vapor lines in infrared spectral region

The water vapor line broadening and shift coefficients in the ν1+ν2, ν2+ν3, ν1+ν3, 2ν3, 2ν1, 2ν2+ν3, and ν1+2ν2 vibrational bands induced by helium pressure were measured using a Bruker IFS 125HR spectrometer. The vibrational bands 2ν3 and ν1+2ν2 were investigated for the first time. The interaction potential used in the calculations of broadening and shift coefficients was chosen as the sum of pair potentials, which were modeled by the Lennard-Jones (6-12) potentials. The vibrational and rotational contributions to this potential were obtained by use of the intermolecular potential parameters and intramolecular parameters of H2O molecule. The calculated values of the broadening and shift coefficients were compared with the experimental data. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Hadron Production via e+e- Collisions with Initial State Radiation

A novel method of studying e+e- annihilation into hadrons using initial state radiation at e+e- colliders is described. After brief history of the method, its theoretical foundations are considered. Numerous experiments in which exclusive cross sections of e+e- annihilation into hadrons below the center-of-mass energy of 5 GeV have been measured are presented. Some applications of the results obtained to fundamental tests of the Standard Model are listed.Comment: 50 pages, 88 figures, accepted for publication in Rev. Mod. Phy

Manufacture of desired end products by means of fine treatment of coal tar resin

The possibility of desired end product manufacture from by-product coke industry wastes is shown. A large number of valuable products can be obtained from different fractions of coal tar resin by their fine treatment. The products obtained in this way find application in medical and chemical industries and etc. Moreover, recycling of by-product coke wastes into end products solves the problem of their utilization

High-boiling components in straw oil

Investigation of straw oil and polymer quality produced in the process of its regeneration has been carried out. The conclusions about using polymers as a material for base end products are made. Flow scheme of technological treatment of straw oil wastes is suggested

New results on the hadronic vacuum polarization to the muon g-2

Results on the lowest-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon magnetic anomaly are presented. They are based on the latest published experimental data used as input to the dispersion integral. Thus recent results on tau to nutau pi pi0 decays from Belle and on e+ e- annihilation to pi+ pi- from BABAR and KLOE are included. The new data, together with improved isospin-breaking corrections for tau decays, result into a much better consistency among the different results. A discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the direct g-2 measurement is found at the level of 3 sigma.Comment: proceedings of the PhiPsi09 conference, Oct. 13-16, 2009, Beijing, Chin

Study of rheological behavior of systems 'polymer solution - Rocks'

The main problem of high-viscosity oil is the low profitability of their involvement in the development. One of the promising ways to solve the problem is to find new technologies and approaches to improve the productivity of wells and oil recovery factor. For tertiary oil recovery techniques are widely used polymer and surface-active compounds that provide a controlled increase in the viscosity of formation water and extraction residual oil. The study of intermolecular interactions in the oil reservoir should be carried out, taking into account the general properties of the reservoir rock. As a result of studies have shown differences in calcite and dolomite parameters associated with different pore morphology and the interaction of polymer molecules with a porous surface. New data on the processes occurring at the interface in the system of formation fluids - mineral. Results of the study of the surface properties and rheologica! behavior of various mineral reservoir rock components, selected as model, allow us to establish the effectiveness of the various polymers in the technology of polymer flooding. The principles upon which the method further reagents for assessing the effectiveness of polymer flooding is proposed which takes into account the complex phenomena which take place in the surface layer of the formation fluid in contact with the reservoir rock
