The rich consequences of adding a diffusive mechanism of transport to chemical or biological activity are described in Chapter 4. Fisher waves and other types of fronts, excitable waves, Turing patterns, and other spatiotemporal phenomena produce striking structures which are observed in chemical and biological media. Understanding them is needed before addressing the additional impact that advection has on these systems. 

This report presents the results of investigations aimed at the creation of the surface wave transducer for the automated control. The basic attention is drawn to the analysis of the position of the front meniscus of the contact liquid when the surface waves excite through the slot gap and to the development of system for acoustic contact creation. 

The use of the surface ultrasonic waves seems to be convenient for these purposes. However, this method has not found wide practical application. Peculiarities of excitation, propagation and registration of surface waves created before these time great difficulties for their application in automatic systems of duality testing. It is connected with the fact that the surface waves are weakened by soil on the surface itself In addition, the methods of testing by the surface waves do not yield to automation due to the difficulties of creation of the acoustic contact. In particular, a flow of contact liquid out of the zone of an acoustic line, presence of immersion liquid, availability of chink interval leads to the adsorption and reflection of waves on tlie front meniscus of a contact layer. The liquid for the acoustic contact must be located only in the places of contact, otherwise the influence on the amplitude will be uncontrolled. This phenomenon distorts the results of testing procedure. 

For exciting the surface waves the traditional method of transforming of the longitudinal wave by the plastic wedge is used. The scheme of surface waves excitation is shown in fig. 1. In particular, it is ascertained that the intensity of the excitation of the surface wave is determined by the position of the extreme point of the exit of the acoustic beam relatively to the front meniscus of the contact liquid. The investigations have shown, that under the... 

When the whole sample surface is irradiated by the exciting X-rays, an image can be obtained in a different way The spot accepted by the transferring lens system in front of the input of the CHA is rastered by introducing deflector plates in front of the lens system. Again, only electrons of a characteristic energy can pass the analyzer. This technique is realized with the Axis series.

Figure 3. Three-dimensional plot of the room-temperature fluorescence of a mixture of 500 ng each of benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(e)pyrene on 80% q-cyclodextrin-NaCl. Numbers along dashed lines show the approximate wavelengths (nm) represented by these lines. The excitation wavelength was varied from 250 nm (front spectrum) to 370 nm (back spectrum) at 2-nm increments. Benzo(a)pyrene emitted from approximately 380 nm to 540 nm, and benzo(e)pyrene emitted from 365 nm to 505 nm.

Under low-frequency excitation, the flame front is wrinkled by velocity modulations (Fig. 5.2.5). The number of undulations is directly linked to frequency. This is true as far as the frequency remains low (in this experiment, between 30 and 400 Hz). The flame deformation is created by hydrodynamic perturbations initiated at the base of the flame and convected along the front. When the velocity modulation amplitude is low, the undulations are sinusoidal and weakly damped as they proceed to the top of the flame. When the modulation amplitude is augmented, a toroidal vortex is generated at the burner outlet and the flame front rolls over the vortex near the burner base. Consumption is fast enough to suppress further winding by the structure as it is convected away from the outlet. This yields a cusp formed toward burnt gases. This process requires some duration and it is obtained when the flame extends over a sufficient axial distance. If the acoustic modulation level remain low (typically v /v < 20%),... 

This expression gives the cumulative density of absorbing states between energies 0 and E (note the change of sign in front of e). This expression can be used to estimate the total excited state absorption by computing... 

Fluorescence spectra were recorded using an SLM 4800 spectrofluorimeter (Bioritech, Chamarande, France) fitted with a thermostat-controlled (30°C) front-surface accessory. The incidence angle of the excitation radiation was 60°. Coagulation kinetics were performed in a quartz cuvette 1 cm x 1cm. All spectra were corrected for instrumental distortions in excitation using a rhodamine cell in the reference channel.
