‎the purpose of this paper is to establish some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings having a mixed $g$-monotone property in partially ordered metric spaces‎. ‎also‎, ‎we present a result on the existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points‎. ‎the results presented in the paper generalize and extend several well-known results in the literature‎.

The Johns Hopkins University is developing an adaptive optics coronagraph for the study of circumstellar material at high resolution. The first generation instrument corrects for image motion, ie. wavefront tilt, using an image motion sensor coupled to a high speed tip/tilt mirror. The image motion sensor is built around a quadrant CCD which detects offsets from the null position. vVe discuss t...

Sensor and motor systems are not separable for autonomous agents to accomplish tasks in a dynamic environment. This paper proposes a method to represent the interaction between a vision-based learning agent and its environment. The method is called \motion sketch" by which a one-eyed mobile robot can learn several behaviors such as obstacle avoidance and target pursuit. A motion sketch is a col...

We demonstrate coherent quantum control of a single spin driven by the motion of a mechanical resonator. The motion of a mechanical resonator is magnetically coupled to the electronic spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. Synchronization of spin-addressing protocols to the motion of the driven oscillator is used to fully exploit the coherence of this hybrid mechanical-spin system...

Brownian motion of the hairs (stereocilia) of amphibian hair cells has been shown in experiments to be in the range of some nm. Our models of the Brownian motion of coupled harmonic oscillators with mechanical properties of stereocilia lead to similar displacements. Computer simulation shows that stochastic fluctuations enhance the encoding of low level acoustic signals. Stochastic resonance lo...

We investigate the swimming motion of rod-shaped magnetotactic bacteria affiliated with the Nitrospirae phylum in a viscous liquid under the influence of an externally imposed, time-dependent magnetic field. By assuming that fluid motion driven by the translation and rotation of a swimming bacterium is of the Stokes type and that inertial effects of the motion are negligible, we derive a new sy...

Cooker’s sloshing experiment is a prototype for studying the dynamic coupling between fluid sloshing and vessel motion. It involves a container, partially filled with fluid, suspended by two cables and constrained to remain horizontal while undergoing a pendulum-like motion. In this paper the fully-nonlinear equations are taken as a starting point, including a new derivation of the coupled equa...

More than 100 structurally diverse point mutations leading to aggregation in the dimeric enzyme Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) are implicated in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Although SOD1 dimer dissociation is a known requirement for its aggregation, the common structural basis for diverse FALS mutations resulting in aggregation is not fully understood. In molecular dynami...

The possibility of employing internal wall as mass absorber in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to harmonic ground motion excitation is investigated in this paper. Internal walls are used in these tanks usually for service performance purposes, which could be used as mass absorber to control seismic demand on tank's exterior walls. Derivation of the response of the coupled system inclu...

Nonlocal vibration of double-smart nanobeam-systems (DSNBSs) under a moving nanoparticle is investigated in the present study based on Timoshenko beam model. The  two  smart  nanobeams (SNB) are  coupled  by  an  enclosing  elastic  medium  which  is  simulated  by  Pasternak foundation. The energy method and Hamilton’s principle are used to establish the equations of motion. The detailed param...
