We investigate pattern formation in two-dimensional anisotropic systems under an external spatially periodic modulation force. Electrohydrodynamic convection or RayleighB6nard convection of nematic liquid crystals are typical examples of anisotropic pattern forming systems. We are especially interested in the situation where the wave vector of the convection rolls and the wave vector of the ext...

Transport noise is an ever present concern in urban areas affecting the quality of life for millions of people. The traditional noise barrier is not always a convenient method of noise control and can divide communities. As a result, other types of barrier have been sought. Considerable interest has been devoted to the use of arrays of vertical cylinders1-3 especially as a result of the publica...

An overview is given of the properties of the various kinds of quasi-periodic luminosity modulations observed in cataclysmic variables (CVs). The two principal types, known in the CV literature as dwarf nova oscillations and quasi-periodic oscillations, have similarities to the high and low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in X-Ray binaries. There is a further well observed class known as ...

In this paper, d-dimensional (dD) quasi-periodically forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a general nonlinearity iut −∆u+Mξu+ εφ(t)(u+ h(|u| 2)u) = 0, x ∈ T, t ∈ R under periodic boundary conditions is studied, where Mξ is a real Fourier multiplier and ε is a small positive parameter, φ(t) is a real analytic quasi-periodic function in t with frequency vector ω = (ω1,ω2 . . . ,ωm), and h(|...

Efficient light absorption is the most crucial factor for high spectral responsive photodetection phenomenon. Nanopillars constitute a great opportunity in enhancing efficiency along with reducing electrical cross-section of device. Here an analytical investigation proposed periodic GaAs material based half octagonal cut vertically oriented hexagonal nanopillar array deployed over 5um x front d...

We present molecular dynamics simulation evidence of spontaneous formation of quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) hydrogen gas hydrates within single-walled carbon nanotubes (SW-CNTs) of nanometer-sized diameter (1-1.3 nm) near ambient temperature. Contrary to conventional 3D gas hydrates in which the guest molecules are typically contained in individual and isolated cages in the host lattice, the gues...
