    Notes: Pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) of lead-zirconate-titanate [Pb(Zrx,Ti1−x)O3] (PZT) thin films under low ambient pressure has been investigated by studying the angular deposition distributions of the constituent elements of the films. Nonstoichiometric profiles are observed and a dip occurs near the target surface normal of the deposition profile of lead. Experimental results show that intrinsic resputtering of the film is important in the PLD process and is responsible for the anomalous distribution of lead. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Spectroscopic analysis of the emission plumes of graphite, polyimide, polyethylene terepthalate, and polymethylmethacrylate that have been ablated by using a pulsed CO2 laser operating at 10.6 μm shows the presence of CN and C2, species not previously reported for CO2 laser ablation. The gross dynamics of the luminous plume, which was studied by using a streak camera, compares favorably with predictions from the snowplow model, which also accurately forecasts the time history of the plume expansion for a wide range of background gas pressures and laser fluences. Framing shadowgraphy reveals the onset of laser-supported detonation waves at approximately 50 mbar Ar, thus somewhat limiting the validity of this model. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The angular distribution of lead in films deposited by pulsed laser irradiation of lead–zirconate–titanate and lead targets are studied as a function of ambient gas (argon or oxygen), gas pressure, and substrate temperature. When the substrate is kept in vacuum and at room temperature, a dip in the lead content attributable to the intrinsic resputtering of lead is observed at the position of the target surface normal. In the presence of an ambient gas, the dip disappears and the lead content increases at all angles. These results are attributed to a reduction of resputtering arising from scattering of the ablated species by ambient gas molecules. Under ambient oxygen and at high substrate temperature, the retention of lead content in the deposited films is largely due to the formation of lead oxide. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Summary Time resolved fluorescence technique was used to demonstrate physically the ionpair aggregation phenomena in the ionomers containing fluorenylsodium as the pendant group along the polymer chains in THF at 25°C. It was found that ionpairs in the ionomer with mole fraction of fluorenylsodium equal to 0.02 did not associate to form stable aggregate. However, the ionpairs would aggregate in those ionomers with higher fluorenylsodium contents. In the homopolymer of vinylfluorenylsodium, extensive aggregation of the ionpairs was observed.

    Notes: Abstract In the present studies, the pharmacology and regulation of the functional muscarinic receptors on HSDM1C1 cells were probed using phosphoinositide (PI) turnover assays. In addition, the receptor binding of the putative M3-selective radioligand, [3H]4-DAMP, to cell homogenates was characterized. Carbachol (EC50=9 μM), (+)muscarine (EC50=4.5 μM) and cis-dioxolane (EC5=0.72 μM) were full agonists which stimulated PI turnover by 13.3±1.0 fold above basal values. The potencies of numerous agonists in this assay system were relatively similar to their affinities in receptor binding assays. Exposure of HSDM1C1 cells to 10 nM–10 μM muscarine during the last 24h of [3H]myo-inositol-labeling resulted in a concentration-dependent reduction in the cisdioxolane affinity and maximal PI response induced by subsequent treatment with cis-dioxolane. pertussis toxin (5–2000 ng/ml) caused a partial reduction in the cis-dioxolane-induced PI turnover. Likewise, exposure of the HSDM1C1 cells to an active phorbol ester (TPA) resulted in a partial inhibition of the cis-dioxolane-induced (100 μM) PI turnover. The half-maximal effect of TPA was produced at 1.8±0.3 nM. [3H]4-DAMP binding to cell homogenates was of high affinity (Kd=0.19±0.04 nM) and moderate capacity (Bmax=201±22 fmol/mg protein). The pharmacological specificity (4-DAMP〉p-FHHSiD〉dicyclomine〉pirenzepine〉methoctramine〉AFDX-116 〉gallamine) resembled that for [3H]NMS binding and correlated well with that observed for inhibition of PI turnover. These studies further support the identification of M3 receptors on HSDM1C1 cells. These receptors have been shown to be influenced by pertussis toxin, an active phorbol ester and to exhibit desensitization.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problems involving a second-order, linear parabolic partial differential equation with Neumann boundary conditions. The time-delayed arguments are assumed to appear in the boundary conditions. A necessary and sufficient condition for optimality is derived, and an iterative method for solving this optimal control problem is proposed. The convergence property of this iterative method is also investigated. On the basis of a finite-element Galerkin's scheme, we convert the original distributed optimal control problem into a sequence of approximate problems involving only lumped-parameter systems. A computational algorithm is then developed for each of these approximate problems. For illustration, a one-dimensional example is solved.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we consider a class of time-lag optimal control problems involving control and terminal inequality constraints. A feasible direction algorithm has been obtained by Teo, Wong, and Clements for solving this class of optimal control problems. It was shown that anyL ∞ accumulation points of the sequence of controls generated by the algorithm satisfy a necessary condition for optimality. However, suchL ∞ accumulation points need not exist. The aim of this paper is to prove a convergence result, which ensures that the sequence of controls generated by the algorithm always has accumulation points in the sense of control measure, and these accumulation points satisfy a necessary condition for optimality for the corresponding relaxed problem.

    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, an approach is proposed for solving a nonlinear-quadratic optimal regulator problem with linear static state feedback and infinite planning horizon. For such a problem, approximate problems are introduced and considered, which are obtained by combining a finite-horizon problem with an infinite-horizon linear problem in a certain way. A gradient-flow based algorithm is derived for these approximate problems. It is shown that an optimal solution to the original problem can be found as the limit of a sequence of solutions to the approximate problems. Several important properties are obtained. For illustration, two numerical examples are presented.
