We show that external fluctuations are able to induce propagation of harmonic signals through monostable media. This property is based on the phenomenon of doubly stochastic resonance, where the joint action of multiplicative noise and spatial coupling induces bistability in an otherwise monostable extended medium, and additive noise resonantly enhances the response of the system to a harmonic ...

We present software for spherical harmonic analysis (SHA) and spherical harmonic synthesis (SHS), which can be used for essentially arbitrary degrees and all co-latitudes in the interval (0◦, 180◦). The routines use extended-range floating-point arithmetic, in particular for the computation of the associated Legendre functions. The price to be paid is an increased computation time; for degree 3...

Near- and below-threshold harmonic generation provides a potential approach to generate vacuum-ultraviolet frequency comb. However, the dynamical origin of in these lower harmonics is less understood and largely unexplored. Here we perform an ab initio quantum study of the near- and below-threshold harmonic generation of caesium (Cs) atoms in an intense 3,600-nm mid-infrared laser field. Combin...

In line with an ongoing programme to determine accurately x-ray attenuation coefficients, we have developed a method for the quantitative determination of the effect on experimental results of monochromator harmonic components in a synchrotron beam. The technique can be adapted to suit a wide variety of experiments, and is of particular interest because it determines the effect of the harmonic ...

We address the problem of assessing the statistical significance of candidate periodicities found using the so-called ‘multi-harmonic’ periodogram, which is being used for detection of non-sinusoidal signals, and is based on the least-squares fitting of truncated Fourier series. The recent investigation (Baluev 2008) made for the LombScargle periodogram is extended to the more general multi-har...

The article aims at contributing to the long-standing research on prosodic organization of linguistic elements and criteria used for identifying structures. Our focus is final coronal nasals in function words Greek variability their patterns realization before lexical words. Certain coalesce stops delete fricatives, whereas others do not. We propose that this split behavior does not pertain ite...
