[1] A hybrid method is developed for calculating synthetic seismograms for seismic waves propagating in two-dimensional localized heterogeneous anisotropic media. The hybrid method is a combination of analytic and numerical methods, with the numerical method (finite difference, or FD) applied in the heterogeneous anisotropic region only and the analytic method (generalized ray theory, or GRT) o...

This paper presents Bingham-NODDI, a clinically-feasible technique for estimating the anisotropic orientation dispersion of neurites. Direct quantification of neurite morphology on clinical scanners was recently realised by a diffusion MRI technique known as neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI). However in its current form NODDI cannot estimate anisotropic orientation disp...

Firm evidence of the biaxial nematic phase in liquid crystals, not induced by a magnetic or electric field, has been established only recently. The discovery of these biaxially anisotropic liquid crystals has opened up new areas of both fundamental and applied research. The advances in biaxial liquid-crystal-related topics call for a good overview on the propagation of waves through biaxially a...

2 Magnetic and optical properties of liquid crystalline colloidal particles 33 2. Introduction This work is concerned with the solution of an important problem of influence of a magnetic field on rotational diffusion in anisotropic colloidal solutions. It describes the results of experimental investigations of the author carried out using the method of diffusing-wave spectroscopy and the method...

Abstract In the last decade, nanoscale resistive devices with memory have been subject of intense study because their possible use in brain-inspired computing. However, operational endurance is one limiting factors adoption such technology. For this reason, we discuss emergence current-induced memristance magnetic materials, known for durability. We show analytically and numerically that a sing...

Habilitationsschrift zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor rerum naturalium habilitatus Preface The solution of elliptic boundary value problems may have anisotropic behaviour in parts of the domain. That means that the solution varies signiicantly only in certain directions. Examples include diiusion problems in domains with edges and singularly perturbed convection-diiusion-reaction pr...
