The article investigates the near-field probe of a special design to account for changes in glucose concentration. The probe is designed in such a way that it emits radiation in both directions from its plane. In this paper, it was proposed to modernize this design and consider the unidirectional emission of the probe in order to maximize the signal and reduce energy loss. We have done extensive research for both bidirectional and unidirectional probe designs. Numerical simulations and field experiments were carried out to determine different concentrations of glucose (0, 4, 5.3, 7.5 mmol/L). Numerical modeling of a unidirectional probe showed that the interaction of radiation generated by such a probe with a multilayer structure simulating a human hand showed a better result and high sensitivity compared to a bidirectional probe. Further, based on the simulation results, a phantom (physical model) of a human hand was recreated from layers with dielectric properties as close as possible to the properties of materials during simulation. The probe was constructed from a copper tube and matched both the geometric and physical parameters of the model. The experimental measurement was carried out using a vector network analyzer in the frequency range 2–10 GHz. The experimental measurement was carried out using a vector network analyzer in the frequency range 2–10 GHz for the unidirectional and bidirectional probes. Further, the results of the experiment were compared with the results of numerical simulation. According to the results of multiple experiments, it was found that the average deviation between the concentrations was 2 dB for a unidirectional probe and 0.4 dB for a bidirectional probe. Thus, the sensitivity of the unidirectional probe was 1.5 dB/(mmol/L) for the bidirectional one 0.3 dB/(mmol/L). Thus, the improved design of the near-field probe can be used to record glucose concentrations.

Light propagation in random materials is a topic of great interest for the scientific community, not only for the possible relevant applications in the fields of photonics and renewable energies but even more since it allows to unveil new fascinating phenomena related to wave physics. Among these physical events, the most robust and always surviving any ensemble average is the coherent backscattering of light (CBS). It is a very subtle interference effect in disordered scattering media (such as semiconductor powders or micro-particle suspensions like milk or fog), in which wave coherence is preserved even after a very large number of random scattering events, eventually manifesting as a maximum of interference in the exact backscattering direction. CBS is related to the well-defined wave character and to the preservation of the optical information, for this reason it has been so far experimentally observed and theoretically studied only for elastic scattering, while the occurrence of inelastic scattering is known to reduce the degree of coherence in the diffusion process, affecting the visibility of the effect. Fazio et al. (2017) have demonstrated that this experimental evidence surprisingly survives also for the inelastic light scattering, such as the spontaneous Raman process, as long as the optical information of the propagating wave is retained. In this kind of inelastic scattering events, light loses a small part of its energy by slightly changing wavelength. Its phase coherence, however, is preserved for a very short time, thus making interference between Raman scattered waves still possible. The observed maximum of interference in the exact backscattering direction is therefore a signature of the coherent nature of individual Raman scattering processes. To date, indications on the coherence properties of Raman scattering have been reported only by looking at the nanoscopic scale, through complex near-field experiments making use of very sharp tips or through ultra-fast time resolved techniques. This time, however, we did not rely on complex experiments or advanced techniques. Conversely, the combination of an accurate experimental procedure and the unique structural properties of a silicon-based material were the only simple ingredients for the observation of a new unexpected physical phenomenon. In particular, a dense forest of ultrathin silicon wires arranged in a disordered fashion, where light waves bounce back and forth countless times before coming out, was the medium that allowed us to reveal this new effect, which opens the way for new and important discoveries.

Abstract A great deal of research focuses on how the mesoscale environment influences convective storms, but relatively little is known about how supercells modify the nearby environment. Soundings from three field experiments are used to investigate differences in the near and far inflow of supercell thunderstorms. Close-range soundings in the near inflow of supercells are compared to near-simultaneous soundings released farther away (but still within inflow). Several soundings from the second field phase of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) supplement the Mesoscale Predictability Experiment (MPEX/MiniMPEX) dataset, resulting in 28 near–far inflow pairs from a wide variety of tornadic and nontornadic supercells. The focus of this study is on a comparison of a subset of 12 near–far inflow pairs taken near tornadic supercells and 16 near–far inflow pairs taken near nontornadic supercells. Similar values of 0–1-km storm-relative helicity (SRH01) are found in the far field of the tornadic and nontornadic supercells, possibly as a result of a difference in mean diurnal timing. However, SRH01 is found to increase substantially in the near field of the tornadic supercells, but not the nontornadic supercells. Differences in the thermodynamic environment include greater moisture above the ground in the far field of the tornadic supercells (despite similar near-ground moisture in both the tornadic and nontornadic subsets) and a subtle increase in static stability near the surface in the nontornadic near inflow.

ABSTRACT As part of the response to the BP Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010, we have been funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative to construct a nested model suite that can follow an oil particle from its first release to its arrival on a shoreline, taking into account natural rates of mixing and degradation of the oil components. The model suite incorporates (at increasing levels of resolution) a coupled ocean-atmosphere model of the full Gulf of Mexico and North Atlantic Ocean, a deep Gulf of Mexico model, a regional model of the Texas-Louisiana shelf, a 3D, non-hydrostatic bay model, a 3D Navier-Stokes model of the spill plume, and a particle tracking and transformation model for dispersed and dissolved oil and gas fate and transport integrated within the full flow domain. The models are supported by a series of laboratory and field experiments, including studies of single droplets, with and without dispersant, plumes, a deep-sea tracer release experiment and bubble releases to simulate an underwater blowout. The laboratory experiments will improve modeling of small-scale, near-field processes such as bubble and droplet formation, dissolution, droplet-turbulence interaction, and evaporation and dispersion at the air-sea interface. We show how the models are linked and how we are making progress towards the complete nested model suite, which will be available for use in future spills.

Conjugated polymers such as poly(p-pyridyl vinylene)(PPyV) have interesting photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties. These polymers have a high quantum yield of luminescence and are of great practical importance as light-emitting diodes or organic semiconductors. We have performed studies on thin films(about 50nm) of these polymers using the high spatial optical resolution of NSOM.The luminescent polymer film was excited with 488nm light and the fluorescence was collected with a high numerical aperture microscope objective. Topography and NSOM fluorescence images were collected simultaneously and used for studying the morphology and optical properties of the film. An example of topography and fluorescence NSOM images of the film is shown in Fig. 1a. The films are very flat (2nm rms variations in topography) and have very few features. The NSOM fluorescence image shows great film inhomogeneity with bright features varying in size from 80-250nm observed throughout (Fig. 1b). These features do not correlate with the topography, indicating they may be located in the bulk of the polymer or are simply not resolvable in the topography image.
