An Extended Newmark-FDTD Method for Complex Dispersive Media by Yu-Qiang Zhang, Peng-Ju Yang

“…Based on polarizability in the form of a complex quadratic rational function, a novel finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach combined with the Newmark algorithm is presented for dealing with a complex dispersive medium. …”

Nectar‐Feeding Behavior in the Mallee Ringneck, Barnardius zonarius barnardi by Amanda E. Hewes, Alejandro Rico‐Guevara, Todd J. McWhorter

“…In order to understand the implications of this behavior to plant reproduction via pollination and to other nectarivores via competition, more thorough descriptions of opportunistic nectar‐feeding behavior are necessary. We observed nectar feeding of the mallee ringneck, Barnardius zonarius barnardi, on flowers of the spotted emu bush, Eremophila maculata, in the temperate mallee of South Australia. …”

Optimal Bounds for Neuman Mean Using Arithmetic and Centroidal Means by Ying-Qing Song, Wei-Mao Qian, Yu-Ming Chu

“…Here, N(a,b), A(a,b), Q(a,b), and C(a,b) are, respectively, the Neuman, arithmetic, quadratic, and centroidal means of a and b, and NQA(a,b)=N[Q(a,b),A(a,b)].…”

Optimal Bounds for Neuman Means in Terms of Harmonic and Contraharmonic Means by Zai-Yin He, Yu-Ming Chu, Miao-Kun Wang

“…Here, H(a,b)=2ab/(a+b), A(a,b)=(a+b)/2, and C(a,b)=(a2+b2)/(a+b) are the harmonic, arithmetic, and contraharmonic means, respectively, and SHA(a,b)=SB(H,A), SAH(a,b)=SB(A,H), SCA(a,b)=SB(C,A), and SAC(a,b)=SB(A,C) are four Neuman means derived from the Schwab-Borchardt mean.…”

Nematic and Smectic Phases with Proper Ferroelectric Order by Grant J. Strachan, Ewa Górecka, Jadwiga Szydłowska, Anna Makal, Damian Pociecha

“…Abstract A material showing a sequence of three ferroelectric liquid crystalline phases below the paraelectric nematic phase is synthesized and studied. The polar order of molecules appearing due to the dipole–dipole interactions in the ferroelectric nematic, NF, phase is preserved also in the smectic phases: orthogonal SmAF and tilted SmCF. …”
