Back-coupling

Here the distortion (diagonal) and back coupling matrix elements in the two-level equations (section B2.2.8.4) are ignored so that = exp(ik.-R) remains an imdistorted plane wave. The asymptotic solution for ij-when compared with the asymptotic boundary condition then provides the Bom elastic ( =f) or inelastic scattering amplitudes... 

Target levels are needed as a standard to which system solutions are compared. During comparison it may become evident that target levels cannot be achieved with any solution or that they lead to very expensive solutions. In such cases target levels have to be reconsidered (back coupling). 

Since in the linear approximation under study there is no back coupling between dynamics of concentrations and correlations, the central point of the kinetics is a solution of the partial differential equations (4.1.23) and (4.1.24). Obtaining the time development of the concentrations becomes here quite trivial from equation (4.1.18) we easily obtain for unequal concentrations, ib > tia, 5n = nn(0) - nA(0) = const, that... 

The non-linearity of the equations (5.1.2) to (5.1.4) prevents us from the use of analytical methods for calculating the reaction rate. These equations reveal back-coupling of the correlation and concentration dynamics - Fig. 5.1. Unlike equation (4.1.23), the non-linear terms of equations (5.1.2) to (5.1.4) contain the current particle concentrations n (t), n t) due to which the reaction rate K(t) turns out to be concentration-dependent. (In particular, it depends also on initial reactant concentration.) As it is demonstrated below, in the fluctuation-controlled kinetics (treated in the framework of all joint densities) such fundamental steady-state characteristics of the linear theory as a recombination profile and a reaction rate as well as an effective reaction radius are no longer useful. The purpose of this fluctuation-controlled approach is to study the general trends and kinetics peculiarities rather than to calculate more precisely just mentioned actual parameters. 

As it is noted in Section 5.1, a distinctive feature of the linear approximation is the absence of back-coupling between the concentration n(t) and the correlation function Y (r, t) which is also independent of the initial reactant concentrations. Moreover, in the linear approximation the parameter k = D /D does not play any role at all. So, in the black-sphere model for the standard random distribution, Y(r > ro,t) = 1, one gets universal relations (4.1.69), (4.1.65) and (4.1.61) for d = 1,2 and 3 respectively. In contrast, in the superposition approximation the law K — K(t) loses its universality, since along with space dimension d it depends also on both the parameter k and the initial reactant concentrations. 

In Fig. 7.4 the joint correlation functions are plotted for distribution of geminate partners created randomly within narrow interval ro r Rg. Two important conclusions suggest themselves from this figure (i) due to similar and dissimilar reactant correlation back-coupling the narrow peak of Y at short distances is accompanied by the decay in X, (ii) for great doses, n joint correlation functions are quite similar to those observed for uncorrelated distribution, i.e., an aggregation manifests itself mainly at high defect concentrations. 

For a given set of parameters the period of concentration oscillations (or its average for a periodic motion) exceeds greatly the period of the correlation motion. For the slow concentration motion not only the period of the standing wave oscillations but also their amplitudes and, consequently, the amplitude in the K (t) oscillations depend on the current concentrations Na(t) and Nb(t). In other words, the oscillations of the reaction rate are modulated by the concentration motion. Respectively, the influence of the time dependence K K(t) upon the concentration dynamics has irregular, aperiodic character. A noise component modulates the autowave component (the standing waves) but the latter, in its turn, due to back-coupling causes transition to new noise trajectories. What we get as a result is aperiodic motion (chaos). The mutual influence of the concentration and correlation motions and vice versa is illustrated in Fig. 8.2, where time developments of both the concentrations and reaction rates are plotted. 

The non-linearity of the equations (5.1.2) to (5.1.4) prevents us from the use of analytical methods for calculating the reaction rate. These equations reveal back-coupling of the correlation and concentration dynamics - Fig. 5.1. Unlike equation (4.1.23), the non-linear terms of equations (5.1.2) to (5.1.4) contain the current particle concentrations riB t) due to which the... 

However, in spite of broad knowledge of metal-catalyzed autoxidation of aromatic compounds, the nature of the major chain-propagating steps is still not totally understood, nor are the relative rates of the dozens of single reaction steps. Unpredictable couplings of chemical and physical aspects make the reactions complicated sometimes oscillatory or even chaotic behavior occurs. Due to manifold back-coupling effects, often solely empirical research techniques can be applied to lead successfully to the desired oxidations. 

In a tilted (slanted) FBG, most of the optical power of the forward core FM is back-coupled to a multitude of HOCMs [13], whose fields propagate in the cladding. Therefore, the higher the mode order, the more the modal field feels the changes in the SRI. This implies that we can obtain different sensitivity to SRI for each HOCM.

Here all matrix elements in the two-level equations (section B2.2.8.4) are included, except the back coupling F yterm which provides the influence of the inelastic charmel on the elastic channel and is required to conserve probability. Distortion of the elastic and outgoing inelastic waves by the averaged (static) interactions V.. and respectively is therefore included. The two-state equations can then be decoupled and effectively reduced to one-channel problems. An analogous static-exchange distortion approximation, where exchange between the incident and one of the target particles also follows from the two-level treatment. 

Microbial growth is the core of the biochemical reactions in the TBC model. This growth is linked to substrate and electron acceptor concentrations via Monod-terms. The back-coupling between microbial growth and reactive species consumption is performed via turnover coefficients and stoichiometric relationships. The basic equations are exemplified for a single microbial group X, one substrate S and one electron acceptor E ... 

The operator controls the operation robot from an ergonomic operation cockpit similar to a flight simulator. Tactile back-coupling of the motions helps the operator operate the system. The operation cockpit is also assembled on a hydraulic hexapod.

The numerical demonstrator showed that the 3D SMART model is capable to simulate atmosphere and sea within a joint simulation. The numerical demonstrator showed that the sea and atmosphere plume head in different directions due to different hydrodynamic and atmospheric flow fields. Expected back coupling between sea and atmosphere distribution has been observed due to the Henry coefficient based mass exchange between sea and atmosphere. An error analysis will be performed in a separate publication. Requirements are bathymetry and shoreline data, supercomputer access, and a triangle mesh for the Arabian Gulf. Short dated natural gas plume simulations require the availability of an Arabian Gulf model which has been caUbrated with current and tidal data. 

A complete set of such calibration spectra allows precise chemical characterization of the product. Back-coupling allows the synthesis parameters and further processing to be optimized. Subsequent finishing results in a significant change in the particle size. 

The most complex situation is sketched in Figure 7(b) for intermediate separation distances the chromophores excited either by plane waves from the dielectric side or by a surface plasmon mode excited from the prism side relaxes vibronically to the bottom of the excited state level of the chromophore but then can back-couple to the metal, thereby exciting a red-shifted siuface plasmon mode. This mode in turn can re-radiate via the prism (or the grating) and lea to an enhanced fluorescence emission. The optimum dye-metal separation for this decay mechanism has been reported to be in the range of d = 20 nm .
