Photon merging and splitting in electromagnetic field inhomogeneities

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate photon merging and splitting processes in inhomogeneous, slowly varying electromagnetic fields. Our study is based on the three-photon polarization tensor following from the Heisenberg-Euler effective action.

Adjustment of Coatings Morphology and Particle Distribution of Layered Silicates by Freeze‐Drying for Improved Gas Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Freeze‐drying of layered silicate is the key to get coatings with superior gas barrier. Freeze‐drying of layered silicates modified with dodecylamine (DDA) is a highly effective technique for the preparation of barrier pigments that significantly mitigate the permeation of oxygen, water vapor, and hydrogen through polymer films containing these ...

Foreword: Public health, public policy, politics and policing

open access: yesHarm Reduction Journal, 2012
Reducing harm from drug use lies at the intersection of public health, public policy, politics and policing. In an ideal world, evidence of public health gains achievable through new approaches or technologies should inform public policy, should help ...

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Effect of zinc foliar application on grain yield of maize and its yielding compone

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2009
Actual yields of maize harvested by farmers are at level much below attainable yield potential of currently cultivated varieties. Among many growth factors zinc was recognized as one of main limiting factors of maize crop growth and yielding.

Minimally entangled typical thermal states versus matrix product purifications for the simulation of equilibrium states and time evolution

open access: yes, 2015
For the simulation of equilibrium states and finite-temperature response functions of strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems, we compare the efficiencies of two different approaches in the framework of the density matrix renormalization group ...

Unidirectional Tape‐Based Composites from Hemp and Pineapple Leaf Fiber: Mechanical Performance in Conventional and Bio‐Based Matrices

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study investigates novel semi‐finished products made of unidirectionally arranged hemp or pineapple leaf fiber‐reinforced composites produced from different matrices. The materials are analyzed in terms of their mechanical and interfacial properties and void content.

Parameters of Compton x-ray beams: Total yield and pulse duration

open access: yesPhysical Review Special Topics. Accelerators and Beams, 2005
Closed analytical formulas describing the parameters of x rays, generated in Compton backscattering of laser pulse and electron beam, such as total yield and temporal duration of the x-ray pulse are presented.

Crop yield increase with precision technologies: A review [PDF]

open access: yesRatarstvo i Povrtarstvo
It is obvious that the end product of any crop production activity embarked upon by any farmer/agronomist is yield. This review paper is aimed at diagnosing various ways or approaches through which crop yield could be increased to meet the need of the ...
