We have theoretically and numerically investigated the self-healing peculiarity of Airy beams truncated by different decay factors. The self-healing dynamic processes of truncated Airy beams are different from that of blocked Airy beams. The wing with large truncation of Airy beam can propagate much longer distance than that of small truncated wing. When one of the wings is complete truncated, ...

[1] Between June 2003 and September 2005, 20 broadband, three-component seismometers were deployed along the MacKenzie-Liard Highway in Canada’s Northwest Territories as part of the joint Lithoprobe-IRIS Canada Northwest Experiment (CANOE). These stations traverse a paleo-Proterozoic suture and subduction zone that has been previously documented to mantle depths using seismic reflection profili...

We demonstrate that observed contrasts of upper crustal structures across large continental strike-slip faults are sufficient to produce artificial vertical Moho offsets of several kilometers in studies using laterally homogenous models. This can have significant impact on efforts to understand how the observed surface displacement is accommodated in the deep crust. An existing hypothesis that ...

We present a mathematical analysis of the finite-energy Airy beam with a sharply truncated spectrum, which can be generated by a uniformly illuminated, finite-sized spatial light modulator, or windowed cubic phase mask. The resulting "incomplete Airy beam" is tractable mathematically, and differs from an infinite-energy Airy beam by an additional oscillating modulation and the decay of its frin...

Introduction: One of the vital skills which has an impact on emotional health and well-being is the regulation of emotions. In recent years, the neural basis of this process has been considered widely. One of the powerful tools for eliciting and regulating emotion is music. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) is part of the emotional neural circuitry involved in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)....

Increasing the depth of field (DOF) is a crucial issue for imaging through scattering media. In this paper, an improved genetic algorithm used to modulate wavefront light media, by which high-quality refocusing and media are achieved. Then, DOF system effectively extended further modulating refocused beam into non-diffraction beam. Two kinds beams, i.e., Bessel Airy beam, were produced as demon...

According to the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), beliefs regarding competency can influence whether a person's occupational role behavior is adaptive or maladaptive. Such beliefs are considered to be part of a person's sense of "personal causation." This article reviews some of the theoretical underpinnings of the personal causation construct. Issues addressed are the distinction between comp...
