The mechanism by which spiral wave patterns appear in populations of Dictyostelium was probed experimentally by external chemical perturbation. Spiral waves, which often arise from the breakup of circular waves driven by pacemakers, typically entrain those pacemakers. We studied these processes by resetting the waves with a spatially uniform pulse of extrinsic cyclic AMP. A pattern of spirals r...

Orthogonality relations for finite Eisenstein series are obtained. It is shown that there exist finite analogs of Maass wave forms which are not Eisenstein series.

Abstract—This paper presents a desktop study of comparing two different wave energy to electricity technologies (WECs) using a techno-economic approach. This techno-economic approach forms basis of a framework for rapid comparison of current and future technologies. The approach also seeks to assist in investment and strategic decision making expediting future deployment of wave energy harvesti...

Continuous multidimensional systems described by partial differential equations can be represented by discrete systems in a number of ways. However, the relations between the various forms of continuous, semi-continuous, and discrete multidimensional systems do not fit into an established framework like in the case of one-dimensional systems. This paper contributes to the development of such a ...

The spin-density wave properties of polycrystalline chromium thin films were determined by using infrared reflectivity to determine the gap energies. The incommensurate spin-density wave of bulk chromium is highly sensitive to perturbations from stress, disorder, and finite size effects, such as those found in polycrystalline films. Films prepared under various conditions display three differen...

In this paper we present results for the wave-vector dependent shear viscosity for a model atomic fluid with short ranged repulsive interactions computed by molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that the data can be fitted to two different simple functional forms over a large density range, namely, a function composed of two Gaussian terms and a Lorentzian type function with a variable wa...

The decline in religious identification and corresponding increase in the unaffiliated has been one of the most important religious changes in the United Kingdom (UK). The emergence of the “religious nones” is the most obvious sign of continuing secularization and the declining social and cultural relevance of religion. Yet while the religiously-unaffiliated often form the plurality — if not so...
