Set Up

Aposteriori deblurring of high resolution electron micrographs of weak phase objects can be performed by holographic filters [1,2] which are arranged in the Fourier domain of a light-optical reconstruction set-up. According to the diffraction efficiency and the lateral position of the grating structure, the filters permit adjustment of the amplitudes and phases of the spatial frequencies in the image which is obtained in the first diffraction order.In the case of bright field imaging with axial illumination, the Contrast Transfer Functions (CTF) are oscillating, but real. For different imageforming conditions and several signal-to-noise ratios an extensive set of Wiener-filters should be available. A simple method of producing such filters by only photographic and mechanical means will be described here.A transparent master grating with 6.25 lines/mm and 160 mm diameter was produced by a high precision computer plotter. It is photographed through a rotating mask, plotted by a standard plotter.

The Impact

A simple method for solving water impact loads underneath decks of offshore structures is developed. In the present paper the emphasis is on the vertical loads, but in principle the suggested method can also be applied to horizontal loading. The suggested method is three-dimensional and valid for general deck geometries and arbitrary incoming wave direction. First and second order wave amplification due to the large-volume structure is included in the analysis. An important feature of the present approach is that added mass of the instantaneous wetted deck area is approximated by the added mass of thin rectangular or elliptical plates. A numerical tool for solving the impact loads is implemented. This tool uses the results from an a priori second order diffraction analysis of the platform hull. In particular the wave-in-deck simulation program applies linear and quadratic transfer functions from the diffraction analysis as input. Since pre-computed hydrodynamic quantities are used in the simulations, very fast computations can be performed. The method is validated against experiments. Results from scaled model tests of the Statfjord A gravity-based structure (GBS) have been compared to numerical results. The comparisons are limited to regular waves. Satisfactory results are obtained from the numerical simulations. The theoretical results compare well with the experiments for the most severe cases. The vertical loads on the deck are well reproduced both during the water entry phase and the water exit phase. Moreover, the duration of the wave-in-deck event is satisfactorily predicted.

Abstract The Flame Transfer Function (FTF) and flame dynamics of a highly swirled, closely confined, premixed flame is studied over a wide range of equivalence ratios and bulk velocities at a fixed perturbation level at the dump plane. The operating conditions are varied to examine the ratio of flame height to velocity in scaling the FTF. The enclosure geometry is kept constant, resulting in strong flame-wall interactions for some operating conditions due to varying flame height. The resulting effect on the FTF due to changes in the "effective flame confinement" can therefore be studied. For sufficiently high equivalence ratio, and the resulting sufficiently small effective confinement, modulations of the FTF are observed due to interference of the perturbations created at the swirler and at the dump plane. The small length scales and high velocities results in modulations centered at high frequencies and spanning a wide range of frequencies compared to previous studies of similar phenomena. A critical point was reached for increasing effective confinement, where the modulations are suppressed. This is linked to a temporal shift in the heat release rate where the flame impinges on the combustion chamber walls. The shift reduced the expected level of interference, demonstrating effective confinement is important for the FTF response. Additionally, a Distributed Time Lag (DTL) model with two time lags is successfully applied to the FTFs, providing a simple method to capture the two dominant time scales in the problem, recreate the FTF and examine the effect of effective confinement.

Image Position

In high resolution microscopy the image amplitude is given by the convolution of the specimen exit surface wave function and the microscope objective lens transfer function. This is usually done by multiplying the wave function and the transfer function in reciprocal space and integrating over the effective aperture. For very thin specimens the scattering can be represented by a weak phase object and the amplitude observed in the image plane is1where fe (Θ) is the electron scattering factor, r is a postition variable, Θ a scattering angle and x(Θ) the lens transfer function. x(Θ) is given by2where Cs is the objective lens spherical aberration coefficient, the wavelength, and f the defocus.We shall consider one dimensional scattering that might arise from a cross sectional specimen containing disordered planes of a heavy element stacked in a regular sequence among planes of lighter elements. In a direction parallel to the disordered planes there will be a continuous distribution of scattering angle.

In situ preparation of cell cultures for ultrastructural investigations is a convenient method by which fixation, dehydration and embedment are carried out in the culture petri dish. The in situ method offers the advantage of preserving the native orientation of cell-cell interactions, junctional regions and overlapping configurations. In order to section after embedment, the petri dish is usually separated from the polymerized resin by either differential cryo-contraction or solvation in organic fluids. The remaining resin block must be re-embedded before sectioning. Although removal of the petri dish may not disrupt the native cellular geometry, it does sacrifice what is now recognized as an important characteristic of cell growth: cell-substratum molecular interactions. To preserve the topographic cell-substratum relationship, we developed a simple method of tapered rotary beveling to reduce the petri dish thickness to a dimension suitable for direct thin sectioning.
