FEM simulation results for AlN with three nonlinear phenomena are presented: variation of effective electrical permittivity, shift of the effective elasticity constants, and enhancement of electromechanical coupling factor. These simulations were conducted with the same material parameters, having great agreement with recent and important experimental results. The simulations allow us to deduce the values of the components of the high-order tensors for the first time as qr_331 = qr_333 = −1600 and g_333 = −80N/V m.

We assume that all states in the ground set are coupled to the excited states using laser pulses such that the pulse area of Rabi frequency is zero, and all of them have the same time dependence. It is also assumed that all laser pulses are in a non-resonant condition with Bohr transitions, and all detunings are the same.

The work consists of the adaptation of routines product of previous works in the literature to generate a numerical code written in PyThon that allowed modeling this kind of phenomenon. Firstly, a map of the superficial densities of the Mexican territory has been developed with a resolution of $0.5^circ$ of longitude by $0.5^circ$ of latitude of the Earth. The map allows us to find the value of surface density in a specific geological area of the country. Once the surface density value was obtained, it is established as the value of the impact site (target). The model requires using fixed parameters, such as the diameter of the body, its density or mass, the angle of incidence and the density value at the impact site. The output, provides the impact velocity, as well as the energy released, diameter and depth of the crater, the magnitude of the earthquake as well as the damage on the surface. We studied the Chicxulub asteroid event in two hypothetical scenarios. Firstly, the atmospheric density profile was modified, allowing the calculation of a new value for the impact velocity. Secondly, we assume that the object hits with a fraction of the initial mass, and with this the impact velocity and its effects were recalculated for three different targets. They were used to calculate the infrastructure damage they would cause if the impact could occur today. Finally, the results obtained by our model were compared with the literature, showing that they are consistent with the observational data. Models such as this one contribute to having tools for the attention towards the prevention of this kind of event that in the context of the study risks from the space are necessary in Mexico.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"6 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We studied the effective of the system through in vitro disinfection to eliminate pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, ESKAPE bacteria and fungi in biofilm and planktonic forms. Doses of 0.25 J/cm2 (10 s of exposure to UVC light), 100% death of ESKAPE bacteria and fungi in planktonic form was observed. Through biofilm formation induction assays of these microorganisms showed resistance to treatment with UV light; however, their viability was not detected after 20 s of exposure (via confocal microscopy). For SARS-CoV-2, 100% reduction was reached after 120 s of exposure. This evidence shows the need to employ emerging methods of disinfection of surfaces and medical devices since these are potential vehicles for transmitting pathogens.
