Here, the image analysis technique in conjunction with polarizing optical microscope is used to compute the Legendre moments from the textures of liquid crystals. As a function of temperature, Liquid crystal textures are recorded from the arthroscopic mode of optical microscope. Changes in textural features of the sample with respect to temperature bring the variations in intensity values of liquid crystal textures. The brightness image that is generated from the liquid crystal textural patterns separates the information about fluctuations in intensity. In this approach, Legendre moments are computed from the brightness images of the liquid crystal textures and are plotted as a function of temperature. Significant variations in the brightness Legendre moment curve provide insight into the liquid crystal transition temperatures. Results obtained from the present methodology are compared with gray color textures data and the experimental technique of differential scanning calorimetry and are in good agreement with each other. This method is an objective and quantitative technique whereas POM method is qualitative and subjective.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218947","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}

Firstly, the natural frequencies and modal shapes were obtained from finite element (FE) methods to characterize the vibration behavior of the plates. The obtained results were compared with experimental testing of the three-dimensional (3D) produced plates. In the comparison, it was seen that the finite element analysis and the experimental results were quite close to each other. It was also observed that the highest frequencies are measured by a triangle, then the grid and honeycomb. Moreover, higher frequencies and lower weights are possible with the triangle pattern fill. On the other hand, it is noted that the types of filling structures do not affect the modal shapes of the 3D plates. Thus, the results of this paper are of utmost importance for getting light structure and high frequencies.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218946","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}

This article applies the idea of phase contrast method to simultaneously compensate the amplitude and phase of the optical signal at the receiving end, derives the mapping relationship between the compensated phase and light intensity, and obtains the required compensated phase for full-field compensation. Numerical calculations show that when the difference between zero-frequency phase compensation and nonzero-frequency phase compensation is ±π, the maximum light intensity compensation is obtained. Based on the Gerchberg Saxton algorithm, a new method is proposed to invert the compensated phase with the maximum light intensity after full-field compensation and perform full-field correction through the adaptive optical system. The numerical calculation and experiment show that the phase contrast Gerchberg Saxton algorithm can effectively compensate the distorted optical signals under different turbulence, and thus the received signals of optical wireless communication can be corrected in full field.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218945","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}

A spiral phase plate (SPP) in one of the two coherent beam paths produces a twist in the phase front and thus a vortex beam with intrinsic angular momentum, which in the case of neutrons should be observed as a characteristic interference pattern that appears complementary to each other in both detectors behind the interferometer. Adding additional SPPs in one beam path of the interferometer yield interference patterns similar to that of a single SPP but only due to the cumulative step height. All simulated interferograms have been calculated on the basis of dynamical neutron diffraction without any assumption of a neutron orbital angular momentum and show very convincing agreement with experimental results from the literature, see e.g. (C.

As for now, the considered model equation is converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in two cases in the symmetry reductions. The exact closed-form solutions are obtained by applying constraint conditions on the symmetry generators. Due to the presence of arbitrary functional parameters, these group-invariant solutions are displayed based on suitable numerical simulations.

The proposed method uses symbolic computations to provide a dynamic and powerful mathematical tool for addressing the governing model and yielding significant results. Numerous analytical solutions of the governing model, including bell-shaped soliton solutions, anti-kink soliton solutions, periodic solitary wave solutions and other solutions, have been constructed effectively utilizing this effective technique. The findings acquired from the governing model utilizing the suggested technique demonstrate that all results are novel and presented for the first time in this study. Solitons are of immense significance in the domain of nonlinear optics due to their inherent ability to preserve their shape and velocity during propagation. The study of the propagation and the dynamical behaviour of the derived results have been explored by representing them graphically through 3D, density, and contour plots with different selections of arbitrary parameter values. The solitons acquired from the proposed model can provide significant advantages in the field of fiber-optic transmission technology. The obtained results demonstrate that the suggested approach is extremely promising, straightforward, and efficient.

The oesophagus is cylindrical in shape and exhibits linear elastic properties. The flow is creeping, and the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are employed for a solution. The relationship between the pressure distribution within the oesophagus and the radial variation of the tube characterizes the behavior of the tube. Findings reveal that the elasticity and the variations in the applied dilating forcing amplitude substantially impact pressure resulting from sinusoidal wave forcing. Notably, even a nominal increase in the inward radial force amplitude for dilatant fluid results in significant pressure changes compared with Newtonian fluid. We also observe a notable distinction between time-averaged volume flow rate and velocity in pseudo-plastic and dilatant forms. Our study also identifies that the radial velocity experiences either attenuation or enhancement due to the fluid’s shear thickening and thinning characteristics. Moreover, our research uncovers a novel dimension by highlighting that in shifting from pseudo-plasticity to dilatancy, the fluid requires higher pressure to propel the bolus toward the hiatus. This observation has important implications, suggesting that feeding a more dilatant fluid to patients with pre-diagnosed swallowing disorders, such as sliding hiatus hernia, is not advisable, fearing increased pressure.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933031","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}

The wall stretching process enhances the momentum boundary layer thickness which slows the axial motion of the fluid away from the flow boundaries. When the stretching parameter <jats:italic>γ</jats:italic> is equal to 1, that is the case corresponding to symmetric stretching, the minimum of the axial velocity is located at the midplane of the channel <jats:italic>y</jats:italic> = 0.5 if the viscosity variational parameter <jats:italic>α</jats:italic> equals 0. This minimum moves towards the region 0.5 < <jats:italic>y</jats:italic> < 1 for <jats:italic>α</jats:italic> > 0, but migrates towards the region 0 < <jats:italic>y</jats:italic> < 0.5 for <jats:italic>α</jats:italic> < 0.
