Linear parabolic diamond refractive lenses are presented, designed to withstand high thermal and radiation loads coming from upgraded accelerator X-ray sources. Lenses were manufactured by picosecond laser treatment of a high-quality single-crystal synthetic diamond. Twelve lenses with radius of curvature at parabola apex R = 200 µm, geometrical aperture A = 900 µm and length L = 1.5 mm were stacked as a compound refractive lens and tested at the ESRF ID06 beamline. A focal spot of size 2.2 µm and a gain of 20 were measured at 8 keV. The lens profile and surface quality were estimated by grating interferometry and X-ray radiography. In addition, the influence of X-ray glitches on the focusing properties of the compound refractive lens were studied.

Objective: In this work, singularly perturbed time dependent delay parabolic convection-diffusion problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered. The solution of this problem exhibits boundary layer at the right of special domain. In this layer the solution experiences steep gradients or oscillation so that traditional numerical methods may fail to provide smooth solutions.

This study focuses on the simulation of a solar photocatalytic reactor with linear parabolic reflectors and continuous fluid flow. The simulation approach was initially validated against experimental data reported by Miranda-Garcia et al. Catal Today 151:107-113 (2010), yielding a high degree of accuracy of approximately 0.

We experimentally observe quantum confinement states in bulk MoS by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). The band structure at the Γ̅ point reveals quantum well states (QWSs) linked to vertical quantum confinement of the electrons, confirmed by the absence of dispersion in and a strong intensity modulation with the photon energy. Notably, the binding energy dependence of the QWSs versus does not follow the quadratic dependence of a two-dimensional electron gas.

Cholestasis caused by impaired bile secretion in the liver is associated with the accumulation of primary bile acids (BA): cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) in the cells of this organ. The paper studies the uncoupling effect of the CA and CDCA on the succinate-fueled rat liver mitochondria under conditions of ΔpH to Δψ conversion by nigericin. It has been established that without nigericin, the dependence of the resting-state (state 4) respiration rate on the concentrations of these BA is nonlinear and is described by a parabolic equation.
