We address the properties of (1+1)-dimensional periodic waves in conservative saturable cubic nonlinear media and discover that cnoidal- and snoidal-type waves are completely stable within a broad range of parameters. The existence of stability bands is in sharp contrast with the previously known properties of periodic waves in self-focusing Kerr nonlinear media. We also found that in self-defo...

The three-color Greenberg{Hastings model (GHM) is a simple cellular automaton model for an excitable medium. Each site on the lattice Z 2 is initially assigned one of the states 0, 1 or 2. At each tick of a discrete{time clock, the connguration changes according to the following synchronous rule: changes 1 ! 2 and 2 ! 0 are automatic, while an x in state 0 may either stay in the same state or c...

In bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) channels, the inter-track interference (ITI) is extremely severe at ultra high areal densities, which significantly degrades the system performance. The partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) technique that uses an one-dimensional (1D) partial response target might not be able to cope with this severe ITI, especially in the presence of media noise and...

Media sharing is an extremely popular paradigm of social interaction in online social networks (OSNs) nowadays. The scalable media access control is essential to perform information sharing among users with various access privileges. In this paper, we present a multi-dimensional scalable media access control (MD-SMAC) system based on the proposed scalable ciphertext policy attribute-based encry...

This paper presents the study of a mixed porous media composed of expanded perlite and a nonwoven needle-punched geotextile used to reduce the suspended solids load and concentration in urban runoff. Laboratory procedures were designed to quantify the suspended solids removal efficiency and variation in time of filtration rate. Different grain-size distributions of expanded perlite, diverse sus...

background: culture media enrichment through the addition of protein hydrolysates is beneficial for achieving higher protein expression. methods: in this study, designing the optimum mixture of four soy and casein-derived hydrolysates was successfully performed by design of experiment and specific productivity increased in all predicted combinations. protein profile of recombinant cho (rcho) ce...

development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. in this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. afterw...
