We have designed and characterized three different types of plasmonic lenses that cannot only focus, but can also bend electromagnetic (EM) waves. The bending effect is achieved by constructing an asymmetric phase front caused varying retardations in EM waves as they pass through a lens. With incident wave normal to the lens surface, light bends up 8° off axial direction. optical propagation was numerically investigated using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Simulation results...

Abstract In this study, an effective photodegrading properties of WO 3 nanoparticles has been enhanced by doping with cerium. To achieve our goal pristine and Ce‐doped were prepared a simple cost co‐precipitation route. Characterization all the specimens conducted which showed that there no noticeable structural changes. retained its monoclinic structure even after (3%, 5%, 8%, 10%) cerium was also confirmed X‐ray diffraction (XRD) Raman spectroscopy. addition, XRD Fourier transform...

Heat generation in CPUs with high computing performance has been a very serious issue that deteriorates their performance. To ensure operate at maximum potential, it is essential to maintain temperature below 80 °C. Forced convection coolers comprising of heatsink and fan are considered the most effective means satisfying operating requirements for CPU order its A design paired airflow speed cubic feet per minute (CFM) Cooler targeted heat 380 watts ambient 25 °C, developed using numerical...

We analysed quantum version of the game battle sexes using a general initial state. For particular choice entangled state it is shown that classical dilemma can be resolved and unique solution obtained.

Recent research efforts were made to investigate botanical bactericides as an intervention tool for citrus canker. Five extracts (Eruca vesicaria, Eucalyptus globulus, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Nigella sativa, and Citrullus colocynthis) evaluated at three different concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%) against Xanthomonas citri pv. under in vitro conditions. Among all treatments, two effective plant extracts, alone combinations, assessed time points (7 days, 14 21 days) greenhouse In...

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) belongs to Brassicaceae family is main vegetable grown for its edible head. susceptible different bacterial and fungal diseases among which Alternaria leaf spot caused by brassicicola potential extortion successful production of cabbage. The aim study was manage the disease using chemicals plant extracts in in-vitro in-vivo conditions. In lab experiment, five fungicides (Nanok, Canbinax, Score, Revus Defeater) (Neem, Aloevera, Moringa, Citrus...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is a crucial agro-industrial crop that faces numerous biotic and abiotic challenges. One of the most severe stresses affecting sugarcane eyespot disease, caused by Bipolaris sacchari. This study focused on managing disease using resistant varieties, chemicals, plant defense activators. Disease samples were collected from Lalian, Chiniot, Faisalabad, pathogen was isolated identified infected leaves. In screening experiment, 10 varieties evaluated. CPF-246...

We have designed, demonstrated, and characterized a simple, novel in-plane tunable optofluidic microlens. The microlens is realized by utilizing the interface properties between two different fluids: CaCl2 solution air. A constant contact angle of ∼90° pivotal factor resulting in outward bowing convex shape solution-air interface. at maintained flared structure polydimethylsiloxane channel. interface, coupled with refractive index difference fluids, results effective focusing. versatility...

Bacterial leaf spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) is one of the most devastating diseases, causing serious losses in chilli crop yield. The extensive usage chemicals has increased toxicity environment. Nanotechnology products are indeed being developed as a promising approach for plant disease control with minimal impact on In present research, antibacterial activity green synthesized nanoparticles (Silver and Zinc nanoparticles) was investigated against Xcv....

Jamun (Syzygium cumini) is a distinguished source of protein, fat, minerals (Iron, Calcium, and Potassium), fiber, carbohydrates, phosphorous, vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Leaf blight S. cumini, caused by Pestalotiopsis spp., poses potential threat to the successful production fruit. The appearance small, round, dark, sunken spots on fruit diminishes its quality results in yield losses 10 20%. Fungicides plant extracts were employed address this fungal problem under laboratory greenhouse...

We study quantum games with correlated noise through a generalized quantization scheme. investigate the effects of memory on games, such as Prisoner's Dilemma, Battle Sexes and Chicken, three prototype quantum-correlated channels. It is shown that player enjoys an advantage over classical for all nine cases considered in this paper maximally entangled case. However, can also outperform subsequent be noted case game. seen Nash equilibria do not change under effect memory.

We have designed and simulated a dual-frequency liquid crystal (DFLC) based plasmonic signal modulator capable of achieving over 15 dB modulation depth. The voltage-controlled DFLC is combined with groove slit configuration its operation discussed.

Moreover, we shown significant improvement in can be achieved...

We have proposed a method for super-resolution imaging using an interlayer cascaded structure comprising two metamaterial lenses. The lenses are designed the effective medium theory. lens structures consist of different planar dielectric films alternated with similar thin metallic films, making diverging and converging lens. With this two-lens system, image is formed at output surface subwavelength resolution. shown, through numerical simulations analytical approach, that resolution nine...
