Optofluidic waveguide as a transformation optics device for lightwave bending and manipulation
No full textOptofluidic waveguide as a transformation optics device for lightwave bending and manipulation
No full textTransformation optics represents a new paradigm for designing light-manipulating devices, such as cloaks and field concentrators, through the engineering of electromagnetic space using materials with spatially variable parameters. Here we analyse liquid flowing in an optofluidic waveguide as a new type of controllable transformation optics medium. We show that a laminar liquid flow in an optofluidic channel exhibits spatially variable dielectric properties that support novel wave-focussing and interference phenomena, which are distinctively different from the discrete diffraction observed in solid waveguide arrays. Our work provides new insight into the unique optical properties of optofluidic waveguides and their potential applications

Generalized Inclusion Dependencies in XML
No full textIntegrity constraints play a fundamental role in defining semantics in both conventional databases and in XML documents. In this paper we generalize previous approaches to defining inclusion dependencies in XML. Previous approaches have considered only the case where the paths on the l.h.s. are child attributes of the same node and the paths on the r.h.s. of the dependency are child attributes of the same node, whereas we do not apply this restriction. We then give an axiom system for XINDs and prove that the system is sound and complete. As a corollary, we also show that the implication problem for XINDs is decidable. Finally we consider the relationship between inclusion dependencies in relational databases (INDs) and XINDs in XML documents and we show that for a very general class of mappings from a relational database to a set of XML documents, and IND is satisfied in a relational database if and only if the corresponding XIND is satisfied in the XML documents. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004
Modelling conversions of enzymatic reactions in different solvents
No full textEnzymes have , with their high activity and (stereo) selectivity in both water and organic solvents, a great potential for applications in organic synthesis. Because of a higher solubility of many, possibly interesting, reaction compounds especially organic solvents are interesting. The reaction rate in organic solvents is, however, lower. This problem could be solved by choosing a water organic two phase system, performing the reaction in the water phase. It has been known for a long time that the equilibrium conversion of a reaction in a sol vent depends on the activity coefficients of the reaction participants in the solvent. In the case of a water organic two phase system the difference in activity coefficients in the water and the organic phase cause partitioning between the phases, which can be favourable for the total conversion. In the process industry group contribution activity coefficient estimation techniques, like Unifac and Modified Unifac, are well accepted and are used on a large scale. In this work these techniques are applied to enzymatic reactions in organic solvents and water organic two phase systems. As a model reaction the equilibrium reaction between n-propanol and butyric acid forming n-propyl butyrate and water was chosen. The calculated values are compared with experimental values and they are in good agreement. This means that the number of experiments necessary for selecting a suitable solvent for a certain enzyme catalyzed reaction could be reduced by applying the calculation methods that are described.Applied SciencesApplied and Technical ChemistryApplied Thermodynamics and Phase Behaviou
