Smoluchowski Equations

A new multilayer electrochromic device has been constructed according to the following pattern: glass1/ITO/WO3/gel electrolyte/BP/ITO/glass2, where ITO is a transparent conducting film made of indium and tin oxide and with the surface resistance equal 8–10 Ω/cm2 . The electrochromic devices obtained in the research are characterized by great (considerable) transmittance variation between coloration and bleaching state (25–40% at applied voltage of 1.5 to 3 V), and also high coloration efficiency (above 100 cm2 /C). Selfconsistent energy bands, dielectric permittivity and optical parameters are calculated using a full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. The numerical solution of the Debye-Smoluchowski equations is developed for simulating recombination probability of Li+ ions in amorphous electrolyte.

Acoustical properties of speech have been shown to be related to mental states such as remission and depression. The objective of this project was to relate the energy in frequency bands with the severity of the mental state using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Recorded speech was obtained from male and female subjects with mental states of remission, depression, and suicidal risk. These subjects had recorded automated and spontaneous speech samples. Multiple regression analysis was used to relate the independent energy band ratio variables with the dependent BDI scores, and thus allow the determination of equitable BDI scores for future patients. For the male group, the square of the 3rd energy band and the cross-product of the 2nd and 3rd energy band were prominent in both the reading and interviewed groups. Therefore the equation with the 2nd lowest Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) score was chosen for the reading male group, and the 1st lowest AIC score was chosen for the interviewed male group. For the female group, the square and cross-product of the 1st and 2nd energy bands were prominent in both the reading and interviewed groups. Therefore the 2nd lowest AIC score was chosen for the reading female group, and the 1st lowest AIC score was chosen for the interviewed female group. The clinician could thus determine the patient’s mood or state of mind by comparing the estimated BDI score with the ranges of total BDI scores: remitted 0 – 20, depressed 15 – 38, suicidal 38 – 46.

The Difference

The application of pyrometry to retrieve particle temperature in particulate-generating flames strictly requires the knowledge of the spectral behavior of emissivity of light-emitting particles. Normally, this spectral behavior is considered time-independent. The current paper challenges this assumption and explains why the emissivity of oxide nanoparticles formed in flame can change with time. The suggested phenomenon is related to transitions of electrons between the valence and conduction energy bands in oxides that are wide-gap dielectrics. The emissivity change is particularly crucial for the interpretation of fast processes occurring during laser-induced experiments. In the present work, we compare the response of titania particles produced by a flame spray to the laser irradiation at two different excitation wavelengths. The difference in the temporal behavior of the corresponding light emission intensities is attributed to the different mechanisms of electron excitation during the laser pulse. Interband transitions that are possible only in the case of the laser photon energy exceeding the titania energy gap led to the increase of the electron density in the conduction band. Relaxation of those electrons back to the valence band is the origin of the observed emissivity drop after the UV laser irradiation.
