Electrochemical Evaluation of Corrosion Behavior in Industrial Alloys Under Acidic and Marine Conditions
Abstract: Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements. Rather than being a simple surface reaction, corrosion is a complex electrochemical phenomenon that significantly influences the durability, reliability, and performance of metallic structures across industrial, marine, and domestic sectors. The consequences extend beyond material degradation, contributing to substantial economic losses, …

Total-internal-reflection-based optical rotation quasi-phase-matching for efficient second-harmonic generation in Cadmium Germanium Arsenide crystal
Abstract: This study investigates a total-internal-reflection (TIR)-based optical rotation quasi-phase-matching (ORQPM) approach for second harmonic generation within a cadmium germanium arsenide crystal slab. The crystal is coated with a thin film of yttrium oxide to facilitate precise control over phase shifts between p- and s-polarized light upon reflection at the slab-film interface. By leveraging the interplay between TIR- induced optical rotation and fractional QPM effects at designated bounce points, the configuration …

Emerging Trends in Photobiology: Exploring the Photophysics and Photobiology of the Eye
Abstract: The eye consists of three main segments: the cornea, lens, and retina. The primary function of the anterior ocular tissue, the cornea and lens, is to transmit and focus light onto the retina without distortion. They also filter UV light (under 400 nm), preventing it from reaching the retina. While light reaching the retina is mostly used for vision, it can also have various effects on the eye's constituents, both …

ESR Evidence of Growing Unsaturation in -Irradiated Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)
Abstract: AbstractFree radicals present in gamma irradiated PVAL subjected to different degrees oxidation are identified using ESR spectroscopy. The observed ESR spectra are analysed by computer simulations. Gamma irradiated PVAL immediately after irradiation possess ~CH2–CH–CH2~ type free radicals (I). Upon oxidation the free radicals transform to ~CH2–CH=CH–CH2~ (II) highly oxidized PVAL consist ~CH2–C=O (III) type free radicals. The results suggest that radical (I) is precursor to radicals (II) and (III). Oxidation …
