We present a detailed analysis of the modulational instability (MI) of ground-state bright solitary solutions of two incoherently coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Varying the relative strength of cross-phase and self-phase effects we show the existence and origin of four branches of MI of the two-wave solitary solutions. We give a physical interpretation of our results in terms of the g...

Objective: To investigate the effect of tinospora cordifolia (TC) on resutured incision and dead space wounds in albino rats. Materials and Methods: Resutured incision and dead space wounds were inflicted in albino rats under light ether anesthesia with aseptic precautions. Treatment group received tinospora cordifolia and control animals received vehicle orally for a period of 10 days. On the ...

The present manuscript was mainly focused to evaluate the multiherbal formulation PACT (containing extracts of Pongamia pinnata Linn., Artocarpus lakoocha, Cynodon dactylon Pers. and Tridax procumbens Linn.) for wound healing potential employing two common wound models i.e. excision wound and incision wound models. The wound contraction area and epithelialization period was measured in excision...

The second paper of the series discusses the effect of thermal noise on the stretching vibrational dynamics of symmetric triatomic ABA molecules. In particular, noise-induced transitions between symmetric and antisymmetric normal-mode vibrations are discussed, in the context of symmetry breaking of vibrational dynamics. The statistics of symmetry breaking transitions and the average lifetimes o...

Although the strength of carbon nanotubes has been of great interest, their ideal value has remained elusive both experimentally and theoretically. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of underlying atomic mechanisms and evaluate the yield strain for arbitrary nanotubes at realistic conditions. For this purpose, we combine detailed quantum mechanical computations of failure nucleation and ...

BACKGROUND Wounds affect a large number of patients and seriously reduce the quality of life. The wound as a medical problem was first discussed by Maharshi Agnivesha in Agnivesha Samhita (later known as Charaka Samhita) as Vrana. Laghupanchamula denotes a combination of the roots of five herbs. However, in Ayurvedic classics, besides four common herbs viz. Kantakari, Brihati, Shalaparni and Pr...

BACKGROUND Fibrosing diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and, therefore, there is a need for safe and effective antifibrotic therapies. Adenosine, generated extracellularly by the dephosphorylation of adenine nucleotides, ligates specific receptors which play a critical role in development of hepatic and dermal fibrosis. Results of recent clinical trials indicate t...

We show that theories in which supersymmetry is broken via Scherk-Schwarz com-pactification at the weak scale, possess at least one scalar particle with Compton wavelength in the millimetre range, which mediates a force with strength 1/3 of gravity. Such forces are going to be explored in upcoming experiments using micro-electromechanical systems or cantilever technology. We also present a simp...
