Complex bound and leaky modes in chains of plasmonic nanospheres.
Bound and leaky modes with complex wavenumber in chains (linear arrays) of plasmonic nanospheres are characterized for both longitudinal and transverse polarization states (with respect to the array axis). The proposed method allows for the description of each mode evolution when varying frequency. As a consequence, full characterization of the guided modes with complex wavenumber is provided i...
متن کاملCetaceans Have Complex Brains for Complex Cognition
T he brain of a sperm whale is about 60% larger in absolute mass than that of an elephant. Furthermore, the brains of toothed whales and dolphins are signifi cantly larger than those of any nonhuman primates and are second only to human brains when measured with respect to body size [1]. How and why did such large brains evolve in these modern cetaceans? One current view of the evolution of dol...
متن کاملTOADS: A Two-Dimensional Open-Ended Architectural Database System
The TOADS system is presented as an innovative tool for building interior-space virtual environments in twodimensions. Existing virtual environment design tools typically operate in three-dimensions, which makes it difficult to manipulate objects on the inherently two-dimensional computer screen. TOADS allows nearly the same functionality as those three-dimensional systems in an easy-to-use two...
متن کاملGiant toads Bufo marinus in Australia and Venezuela have antibodies against 'ranaviruses'.
A serological survey was conducted for antibodies against 'ranaviruses' in the giant toad Bufo marinus in Australia and Venezuela. Sera containing antibodies against 'ranaviruses' were found in both countries. In Australia positive antibodies were identified in populations throughout most of the known range of B. marinus. Results were confirmed by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscop...
متن کاملVisualising lymph movement in anuran amphibians with computed tomography.
Lymph flux rates in anuran amphibians are high relative to those of other vertebrates owing to 'leaky' capillaries and a high interstitial compliance. Lymph movement is accomplished primarily by specialised lymph muscles and lung ventilation that move lymph through highly compartmentalised lymph sacs to the dorsally located lymph hearts, which are responsible for pumping lymph into the circulat...
