This equation also represents the dynamics of several physical phenomena. This equation can also be consider as a generalization of Boussinesq equation with dual dispersion. In this paper, a general strain wave equation is considered and obtained several new exact solutions. A variant of F-expansion method is applied to obtain the required solutions. The available traveling wave exact solutions are primarily obtained by integrating the resulting fourth order ordinary differential equation twice. But, in this paper, we show that there exist several traveling wave solutions to strain wave equation which cannot be derived using the existing methods. Several families of new exact solutions in rational function form are derived using this novel method, without performing the initial integration.","PeriodicalId":93771,"journal":{"name":"IOP SciNotes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48651823","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}

Planar Fabry-Pérot microcavities play an essential role in such studies and a strategic cavity design is necessary to attain an enhanced light-matter interaction. In this work, we computationally study different geometries for a planar metallic Fabry-Pérot microcavity tuned for the absorption of Sulforhodamine 101, a typical dye for fluorescence spectroscopy. The cavity consists of a polymer layer enclosed between two silver mirrors, where the thicknesses of all the three layers are varied to optimize the cavity. Our transfer-matrix and finite-difference time-domain simulations suggest that a cavity with 30 nm thin top mirror and 200 nm fully reflective thick bottom mirror, thus having only reflection and absorption and no transmission, is an optimal design for maximizing the Purcell factor and spectral overlap between the cavity and molecule, while still sustaining an efficient measurability of the fluorescence.","PeriodicalId":93771,"journal":{"name":"IOP SciNotes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41890137","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 friction parameter was calculated by using the analytical equation from the literature. The study reports the flow stress-strain curve results. The results showed a variation between the measured and the friction corrected flow stress-strain curves. The flow stress variation increased with an increase in strain. This result shows an increase in friction parameter resulting from contact between the die and the workpiece during deformation. The study has shown that the analytical equations used for hot deformation are applicable in analysing warm deformation flow stress-strain curves.","PeriodicalId":93771,"journal":{"name":"IOP SciNotes","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45528525","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 experimental setup is similar to that reported by Trouton and Noble, but which presented negative results for the rotation of the device. The measurements were made without or with electromagnetic shielding in the capacitor. We measured a small torque on the device which caused its rotation in both configurations. The runs performed with and without electromagnetic shielding covering the capacitor, more or less insulation covering the elements of setup, several changes in the space separation between those elements and the small magnitude of the monitored current in the capacitor indicates that ion wind, electrostatic interaction and also the interaction with the Earth's magnetic field via leakage current cannot explain the magnitude of angular velocity or rotation effect.

In doing so, we develop a basic framework and tutorial for future researchers to build on, which takes advantage of the Twitter API. To demonstrate the method, we take samples of Twitter accounts following Joe Biden and Donald Trump. For each account in our sample population, we pull the account’s 100 most recently followed accounts. This data is cleaned and formatted for use with Python’s apyori package, which uses the well-known apriori algorithm to learn association rules for a given dataset. This work has two objectives: (1) demonstrate the application association rule learning to social media networks and (2) perform exploratory analysis on the resulting association rules. We successfully demonstrate association rule learning in a Jupyter-notebook environment with Python. The resulting association rules indicate some interesting similarities and differences in the networks of Biden’s and Trump’s Twitter followers. The demonstrated method can be generalized to any non-private Twitter account(s). Extensions of our work can apply the method to larger datasets, with a focus on analyzing the learned association rules. Our study demonstrates an innovative application of association rule learning outside of the traditional use cases, which suggests similar opportunities in fields such as politics, education, public health, and more.","PeriodicalId":93771,"journal":{"name":"IOP SciNotes","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47702771","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}
