В работе проведён анализ влияния режимов возбуждения термофона на его акустическую эффективность. В настоящее время для возбуждения современных термофонов используют два режима возбуждения соответствующих случаям, когда в активном элементе термофона текут: 1) постоянный электрический ток I0 и переменный электрический ток i(f) = Imsin(ωt); 2) только переменный ток i(f) = Imsin(ωt). В этих случаях термофон излучает звуковые волны, амплитуды колебательных скоростей которых um1 и um2 соответствуют номерам режимов. При этом показано, если выполняется неравенство I0 >> Im, то отношение колебательных скоростей um1 / um2 ≥ 28. Как следствие этого, уровень излучения звука при 1 режиме возбуждения более чем на 29 дБ выше, а мощность акустического излучения в 860 раз выше по сравнению со вторым режимом возбуждения. Таким образом, для создания мобильных эхолокационных систем, работающих в газах, могут быть использованы термофоны, в которых реализован первый режим возбуждения, имеющий более сложную схему электрического питания. The paper analyzes the influence of thermophone excitation modes on its acoustic efficiency. Currently, to excite modern thermophones, two excitation modes are used corresponding to cases when in the active element of the thermophone flows: 1) direct electric current I0 and alternating electric current i(f) = Imsin(ωt); 2) only alternating current i(f) = Imsin(ωt). In these cases, the thermophone emits sound waves whose vibrational speed amplitudes um1 and um2 correspond to the mode numbers. It is shown that if the inequality I0 >> Im, is satisfied, then the ratio of vibrational speeds um1 / um2 ≥ 28. As a result, the sound radiation level at 1 excitation mode is more than 29 dB higher, and the acoustic radiation power is 860 times higher compared to the second excitation mode. Thus, to create mobile echolocation systems operating in gases, thermophones can be used, in which the first excitation mode is implemented, which has a more complex electrical power supply scheme.

ABSTRACT Bacterial biofilms are notably resistant to antibiotic prophylaxis. The concentration of antibiotic necessary to significantly reduce the number of bacteria in the biofilm matrix can be several hundred times the MIC for the same bacteria in a planktonic phase. It has been observed that the addition of a weak continuous direct electric current to the liquid surrounding the biofilm can dramatically increase the efficacy of the antibiotic. This phenomenon, known as the bioelectric effect, has only been partially elucidated, and it is not certain that the electrical parameters are optimal. We confirm here the bioelectric effect for Escherichia coli biofilms treated with gentamicin and with oxytetracycline, and we report a new bioelectric effect with a radio frequency alternating electric current (10 MHz) instead of the usual direct current. None of the proposed explanations (transport of ions within the biofilm, production of additional biocides by electrolysis, etc.) of the direct current bioelectric effect are applicable to the radio frequency bioelectric effect. We suggest that this new phenomenon may be due to a specific action of the radio frequency electromagnetic field upon the polar parts of the molecules forming the biofilm matrix.

The isotope separation effect of a direct electric current in a liquid metal is demonstrated by passing a current through mercury, which is enclosed in a capillary tube. The second part of the paper deals with an attempt of establishing an isotope effect when a direct current is passed through an uranium wire.

A thin circular disc suspended by a quartz fibre tends to set itself broadside on to the direction of the propagation of incident sound waves, and its use in combination with resonators is well known as a means of measuring relative intensities of acoustic radiation fields. In a progressive or stationary wave in which the velocity amplitude is │ξ│, the average couple on a circular disc of radius a is usually given by the well-known formula L͞ = - ⅔ρ 0 a 3 │ξ│ 2 sin 2α, (1) where ρ 0 is the density of the medium and α is the angle between the direction of propagation of the wave-front and the normal to the disc, while the negative sign indicates that the couple tends to diminish α.
