چکیده

We study mechanisms for wavenumber selection in a minimal model for run-and-tumble dynamics. We show that nonlinearity in tumbling rates induces the existence of a plethora of traveling- and standing-wave patterns, as well as a subtle selection mechanism for the wavenumbers of spatio-temporally periodic waves. We comment on possible implications for rippling patterns observed in colonies of myxobacteria.

Sources, sinks and wavenumber selection in coupled CGL equations and experimental implications for counter-propagating wave systems

We study the coupled complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equations for traveling wave systems, and show that sources and sinks are the important coherent structures that organize much of the dynamical properties of traveling wave systems. We focus on the regime in which sources and sinks separate patches of left and righttraveling waves, i.e., the case that these modes suppress each other. We present...

Effective equations governing an active poroelastic medium

In this work, we consider the spatial homogenization of a coupled transport and fluid-structure interaction model, to the end of deriving a system of effective equations describing the flow, elastic deformation and transport in an active poroelastic medium. The 'active' nature of the material results from a morphoelastic response to a chemical stimulant, in which the growth time scale is strong...

Coupled Integral Equations Approach in the Solution of Luikov Equations with Microwave Effect

The objective of this study is to present a mathematical modeling and solution approach for the drying process of spheroidal solids with the application of microwave in capillary porous media based on the Luikov equations, composed of a system of linear and coupled partial differential equations arising from the energy, mass and pressure balances inside the solid matrix. Additionally, the power...

Wavenumber selection based analysis in Raman spectroscopy improves skin cancer diagnostic specificity.

Real-time Raman spectroscopy can be used to assist in assessing skin lesions suspicious for cancer. Most of the diagnostic algorithms are based on full band of the Raman spectra, either in the fingerprint region or the high wavenumber region. In this paper we explored wavenumber selection based analysis in Raman spectroscopy for skin cancer diagnosis. Wavenumber selection was implemented using ...

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a coupled system of perturbed nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, we consider a coupled system of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs), such that both equations have a particular perturbed terms. Using emph{Leray-Schauder} fixed point theorem, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for this system.
