The periodic transference of nucleotide strings in bacterial and archaeal complete genomes is investigated by using the metric representation and the recurrence plot method. The generated periodic correlation structures exhibit four kinds of fundamental transferring characteristics: a single increasing period, several increasing periods, an increasing quasi-period and almost noincreasing period...

─ Although many numerical methods have been developed to calculate photonic bandgap structure properties, but always improvement in numerical methods is necessary to have more efficient, accurate and flexible techniques. In the present work, novel periodic meshless shape functions including so-called direct and radial shape functions are presented. The meshless approaches, based on these period...

A band diagram is the fundamental for investigation of the electromagnetic properties of periodic structures such as photonic crystals in optics or electromagnetic band gap structures in antenna engineering. In this paper, the two famous computational methods, finite difference frequency domain (FDFD) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods are applied for band diagram calculation of 2...

We fabricated sub-wavelength periodic structures by thermal nano-imprinting using our original functionally modified inorganic–organic hybrid materials. The fabricated structures exhibited excellent uniformity and surface smoothness over a large imprinted area. In addition, optical transmittance is more than 90% within visible wavelength regions after heat treatment for 2 h at 300 C. These nano...

Abstract. The introduced notion of locally periodic two-scale convergence allows one to average a wider range of microstructures, compared to the periodic one. The compactness theorem for locally periodic two-scale convergence and the characterization of the limit for a sequence bounded in H1(Ω) are proven. The underlying analysis comprises the approximation of functions, with the periodicity w...

We consider the problems of existence and structure of gaps (pseudogaps) in the spectra associated with Maxwell equations and equations that governs the propagation of acoustic waves in periodic two component media. The dielectric constant " is assumed to be real and positive, and the value of " = "b on the background is supposed to be essentially larger than the value of " = "a on the embedded...
