Here, a steady and pseudo-steady state magneto-hydrodynamics system is considered, and we provide a characteristic decomposition of the flow equations in both systems. This decomposition ensures the presence of a simple wave adjacent to a region of constant state for the system under consideration. Further, this result is extended as an application of the characteristic decomposition in a pseudo-steady state, and we prove the existence of a simple wave in a full magneto-hydrodynamics system by taking the vorticity and the entropy to be constant along the pseudo-flow characteristics. These results extend the fundamental theorem proposed by Courant and Friedrichs for a reducible system (R. Courant and K. O.

The paths enable the vehicles to maintain constant normal acceleration components when the vehicle has a given tangential deceleration component. The differential equation describing the path for an arbitrary tangential deceleration component is given first. Several special cases corresponding to different deceleration functions in terms of velocity and position are derived. The path equations are third order ordinary differential equations with high nonlinearities. The equations are cast into a non-dimensional form which enables to define the dimensionless parameters affecting the curves. Two of the special cases are numerically treated: (1) Deceleration proportional to the velocity, (2) Deceleration exponentially decaying with path length. The effects of dimensionless parameters on the solutions are exploited in the figures.

In the pattern, a Fitz Hugh–Nagumo neuron connected to a meminductor is activated by a photocell, and a time-varying current source is generated by the presence of external optical signals. This coupling is a benchmark circuit with memory similar to artificial eyes with the ability to capture and encode external signals. It is designed with the aim of studying the dynamics of a neuron with a memory effect highlighted through the meminductor. An appropriate dynamical analysis is provided using standard indicators such as bifurcations to point out thorough transitions and the nature of the electrical neuronal activities. Some couplings between two FHN neurons with meminductor using hybrid synapses composed of passive electronic components are achieved. Relevant tools are used to analyze the stability of the synchronization which gives prominent details on the selection of the appropriate coupling. The energy balance of the external system is evaluated which gives the effort to achieve encoding signals and also proves the feasibility of the proposal in real-time implementation. Simulations are performed on FPGA. The results present a good agreement. In many engineering applications, the detection of optical signals is inescapable as well as the synchronization of its signals for the transmission of the stimuli. These results could be useful for the designer.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141114114","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}

In order to increase the responsivity of the photodetector plasmon–polaritons are excited in the graphene layer within the specified spectral region with the aid of dielectric grating fabricated inside the photodetector structure. The results show that with the increase of the Fermi energy level in the graphene layer the wavelength where plasmon–polaritons are excited is shifted toward shorter wavelengths. This property enables the photodetector for tunable detection. The excitation of plasmon–polaritons localizes the infrared radiation incident on the photodetector to the graphene layer with a full width at half maximum of ≈12.6 nm. This localization increases the absorbance of the graphene layer considerably at peak detection wavelengths where plasmon–polaritons are excited, so that at peak detection wavelengths the absorbance of the graphene layer inside the photodetector is higher than 20 % while without the excitation of plasmon–polaritons the absorbance of the same layer is below 0.05 %. Due to this effect the responsivities of the photodetector at wavelengths where plasmon–polaritons are excited, increase more than 535 times relative to the case where plasmon–polaritons are not excited. Therefore the excitation of plasmon–polaritons not only increases the responsivity of the photodetector significantly but also enables the photodetector for tunable detection by varying the Fermi energy level in the graphene layer.","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140971538","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 paper proposes a physics-informed neural network (PINN) based on the DeepXDE deep learning library to analyze thermoelastic problems, including classical thermoelastic problems, thermoelastic coupling problems, and generalized thermoelastic problems. The loss function is constructed based on equations, initial conditions, and boundary conditions. Unlike traditional data-driven methods, this approach does not rely on known solutions.

The most abundant compounds in the plant extract were explored using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). FTIR indicated the existence of the different functional groups, XRD showed that the nanocomposite has the hexagonal wurtzite shape of ZnO nanoparticles, SEM-EDS showed a size of 50 nm, and elemental analysis depicts the existence of the different elements in the extract, which confirms, along with TGA results, the formation of DV-ZnO nanocomposite. The nanocomposite synergistic effect was examined for anticorrosion capabilities using gravimetric, electrochemical, and surface analysis methods. Both the plant extract and the nanocomposite exhibited corrosion inhibition abilities. However, the incorporation of the plant extract with ZnO increased the inhibition efficiency by 20 %. Weight loss and electrochemical methods concluded an inhibition efficiency of 80 % for DV-ZnO nanocomposite. The inhibition of the nanocomposite is due to the adsorption of the inhibitor on the carbon steel surface, which was verified using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption was found to follow both Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. Surface examination using atomic force microscopy (AFM) found that the carbon steel surface roughness was decreased from the sample submerged in an uninhibited medium (Sa = 121.20 nm) when adding DV-ZnO nanocomposite (Sa = 22.95 nm) and DV plant extract inhibitor (Sa = 54.73 nm).","PeriodicalId":23871,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140940384","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}
