We consider an intra-host model of malaria that allows for antigenic variation within a single species. More specifically, the host's immune response is compartmentalized into reactions to major and minor epitopes. We investigate the conditions that lead to transient oscillations, which correspond to recurrent clinical episodes of the diseases, and how a small delay in the activation of the imm...

in the present paper axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron and iondensities and eedf have been measured in the dl region of a hg discharge constriction. an attempt hasbeen made for the resolution of opposing charged layer structures in dl. excitation processes in theconstriction region are studied. using the linearization method for the nonstationary balance equationss...

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations for a linear triatomic molecular monocation (CO2) interacting with a 5 fs, 800 nm, strong field laser pulse were performed to explore the excitation mechanisms in a molecular cation. Fourier analysis of the time-dependent residual dipole moment reveal a nonmonotonic behavior in the amplitude of the 5.18 eV feature in the excitation spectra of the molecula...

Cathodoluminescence spectroscopy has been performed on silver nanoparticles in a scanning electron microscopy setup. Peaks appearing in the visible range for particles fabricated on silicon substrate are shown to arrive from excitation of out-of-plane eigenmodes by the electron beam. Monochromatic emission maps have been shown to resolve spatial field variation of resonant plasmon mode on lengt...

Successful implementation of homogeneous slice-selective RF excitation in the human brain at 9.4T using 16-channel parallel transmission (pTX) is demonstrated. A novel three-step pulse design method incorporating fast real-time measurement of eddy current induced B0 variations as well as correction of resulting phase errors during excitation is described. To demonstrate the utility of the propo...

This work demonstrates the possibility of obtaining fluorescence lifetimes in the sub-nanosecond timescale using excitation light pulses with few nanoseconds width. Measured and calculated fluorescence lifetime values where confirmed using more sophisticated systems with pico-second and-femto second pulse width excitation sources. For demonstration purposes the variation in fluorescence lifetim...

When a hydrogen molecule in a parahydrogen crystal is excited to a high vibrational overtone state, its electronic properties vary significantly since the energy of excitation is a sizable fraction of the energies of the excited electronic states. Thus the vibrational excitation leads to a significant variation of the intermolecular potential and resultant local distortion of the crystal lattic...

Long-span bridges, as vital structures, play a very important role in economic development. Furthermore, the results of several earthquake-damaged bridges showed that their seismic behavior was different from that predicted under uniform excitation and in some cases the responses were more than predicted results. Therefore, the damaged bridges under non-uniform excitations were re-analyzed and ...

The lowering of external sodium raised both the constant quantity threshold, Q(o), and the rheobase, I(o), in both real space-clamped squid axons and the theoretical axon as computed on the basis of the standard Hodgkin-Huxley equations. In both real and theoretical axons the minimum intensity for excitability for short pulses, which occurs at about 15 degrees C, was still present when low sodi...

Strong anticorrelation between the fluorescence emission of different emitters is observed by employing single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy on photosystem I at cryogenic temperatures. This anticorrelation demonstrates a time-dependent interaction between pigments participating in the exciton transfer chain, implying that uniquely defined energy transfer pathways within the complex do not ...
