Novel Polyurethanes as Antifouling Paint Matrices
PublicationThe new poly(ester-ether urethane)s (PEEUR) were prepared in two stage synthesis from formerly obtained oligo(alkylene ester-ether)diols (OAEE) and 4,4‘-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). PEEUR samples were subjected to crosslinking with styrene in the presence of radical polymerization initiators: methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) or cobalt 2-ethyl cyclohexanoate (EtHCo). Crosslinked PEEUR were characterized by their physicochemical...

A Strategy to Locate Fixed Points and Global Perturbations of ODE’s: Mixing Topology with Metric Conditions
PublicationIn this paper we discuss a topological treatment for the planar system z' = f (t, z) + g(t, z) where f and g are T -periodic in time and g(t, z) is bounded. Namely, we study the effect of g(t, z) in two different frameworks: isochronous centers and time periodic systems having subharmonics. The main tool employed in the proofs consists of a topological strategy to locate fixed points in the class of orientation preserving embedding...

Absorbing Boundary Conditions Derived Based on Pauli Matrices Algebra
PublicationIn this letter, we demonstrate that a set of absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs) for numerical simulations of waves, proposed originally by Engquist and Majda and later generalized by Trefethen and Halpern, can alternatively be derived with the use of Pauli matrices algebra. Hence a novel approach to the derivation of one-way wave equations in electromagnetics is proposed. That is, the classical wave equation can be factorized...
