Resonant Excitation of Terahertz Surface Plasmons in Subwavelength Metal Holes by Weili Zhang, Abul K. Azad, Jiaguang Han

“…The effects of hole shape, hole dimensions, dielectric function of metals, polarization dependence, and array film thickness on resonant terahertz transmission in metal arrays were investigated by the state-of-the-art terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. In particular, extraordinary terahertz transmission was demonstrated in arrays of subwavelength holes made even from Pb, a generally poor metal, and having thickness of only one-third of skin depth. …”

Pattern Formation in a Cross-Diffusive Holling-Tanner Model by Weiming Wang, Zhengguang Guo, R. K. Upadhyay, Yezhi Lin

“…We present a theoretical analysis of the processes of pattern formation that involves organisms distribution and their interaction of spatially distributed population with self- as well as cross-diffusion in a Holling-Tanner predator-prey model; the sufficient conditions for the Turing instability with zero-flux boundary conditions are obtained; Hopf and Turing bifurcation in a spatial domain is presented, too. Furthermore, we present novel numerical evidence of time evolution of patterns controlled by self- as well as cross-diffusion in the model, and find that the model dynamics exhibits a cross-diffusion controlled formation growth not only to spots, but also to strips, holes, and stripes-spots replication. …”

On the Parametric Stokes Phenomenon for Solutions of Singularly Perturbed Linear Partial Differential Equations by Stéphane Malek

“…We study a family of singularly perturbed linear partial differential equations with irregular type in the complex domain. In a previous work, Malek (2012), we have given sufficient conditions under which the Borel transform of a formal solution to the above mentioned equation with respect to the perturbation parameter converges near the origin in and can be extended on a finite number of unbounded sectors with small opening and bisecting directions, say , for some integer . …”

Hungarian Emerging by Diana Archangeli, Douglas Pulleyblank

“…One prediction is that we expect languages to have regularities with widely differing effect – both general patterns and subpatterns that exist but only in a narrow domain. We test this hypothesis against Hungarian vowel harmony, a harmony pattern that is often described as involving both [back] harmony and [round] harmony, despite the fact that the language has nonharmonic suffixes, suffixes with limited harmony, disharmony, antiharmony, and both transparency and opacity. …”

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Coupled Axial-Torsional Nonlinear Vibration of Drill Strings by Xinye Li, Tao Yu, Lijuan Zhang, Hao Zeng, Congcong Duan

“…Based on a lumped parameter model with two degrees of freedom, the periodic response of the coupled axial-torsional nonlinear vibration of drill strings is studied by HB-AFT (harmonic balance and alternating frequency/time domain) method and numerical simulations. The amplitude-frequency characteristic curves of axial relative displacement and torsional relative angular velocity are given to reveal the mechanism of bit bounce and stick-slip motion. …”

Multilayer Mie Scattering Model for Investigation of Intracellular Structural Changes in the Nucleolus and Cytoplasm by S. Saltsberger, I. Steinberg, I. Gannot

“…Here, we describe the model and show that the results obtained within this simple method are similar to those obtained with far more complicated methods such as finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The multilayer model is then used to study the effects of changes in the distribution of internal cell structures like mitochondria distribution or nucleus internal structures that exist in biological cells. …”
