Why trap light?
In 1865 James Clerk Maxwell showed how light propagates as electromagnetic waves. In 1984 it was realized that light can also be trapped1. My journey into this subject began as a PhD student at Harvard University, focusing on the possibility to trap or localize any classical wave in a suitable material2. This was not one of the ‘big questions of science’ at the time, but my supervisor Michael J...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Trap-models for Insects
In order to control a wild insect population with SIT (Sterile Insect Technique), it is necessary to estimate this population. This can be done with experimental data (using traps), combined with appropriate dispersal models, like those studied in [1, 2]. However the observed trap data depend on some (unknown) population parameters, like the diffusivity, and some (unknown) trap parameters, like...
متن کاملConsequences of preformation for dynamic resource allocation by a carnivorous herb, Pinguicula vulgaris (Lentibulariaceae).
When resource availability changes frequently and unpredictably, natural selection favors flexible resource allocation; however, such versatility may be compromised in perennial plants that differentiate leaves or flowers a year in advance of their development (preformation). We investigated resource allocation by the carnivorous perennial Pinguicula vulgaris to determine whether increased reso...
متن کاملWhy does the central nervous system not regenerate after injury?
A major problem for neuroscientists and clinicians is why the central nervous system shows ineffective regeneration after injury. Injured peripheral nerve fibers reform their connections, whereas those in injured spinal cord never re-grow. Insights into the mechanisms for repair and restoration of function after spinal cord injury have been obtained by experiments showing that injured nerve cel...
