Traveling waves in a spring-block chain sliding down a slope

Traveling Waves in a Chain of Pulse-Coupled Oscillators

We derive conditions for the existence of traveling wave solutions in a chain of pulse-coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators with nearest-neighbor interactions and distributed delays. A linear stability analysis of the traveling waves is carried out in terms of perturbations of the firing times of the oscillators. It is shown how traveling waves destabilize when the detuning between oscillator...

Euthanasia in the Netherlands: sliding down the slippery slope?

An ethicist's journey as a patient: are we sliding down the slippery slope to sloppy healthcare?

People who are sick are often the most vulnerable in society. They frequently rely on caring and competent healthcare professionals and should and do have expectations of a safe and caring environment. In a recent unexpected adventure through the healthcare system, the organisation, professionalism, caring and compassion associated with healthcare provision were in very short supply. A lack of ...

Traveling Waves in a Suspension Bridge System

Traveling Waves in a Suspension Bridge System by Robert A. Ain, Jr. Dr. Zhonghai Ding, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Nevada, Las Vegas In this thesis, we study the traveling waves in a Lazer-McKenna suspension bridge system which is governed by two coupled nonlinear beam and wave equations. The Lazer-McKenna suspension bridge system describes the v...
