When two video frames are alternated at the appropriate rate, one with a central bar and the other with two flanking bars, the central bar becomes invisible. Competing explanations for this standing wave illusion are examined, with the results showing an influence of higher level shape representations on lower level edge processes. In Experiment 1, flanking bar duration was found to be more imp...

Using the Landauer formulation of transport theory and tight binding models of the electronic structure, we study electron transport through atomic wires that form 1D constrictions between pairs of metallic nano-contacts. Our results are interpreted in terms of electron standing waves formed in the atomic wires due to interference of electron waves reflected at the ends of the atomic constricti...

In the present work, we consider existence and spectral stability of standing wave solutions to a model for light propagation in twisted multi-core fiber with no gain or loss energy. Numerical parameter continuation experiments demonstrate sufficiently small values coupling parameter. Furthermore, waves exhibiting optical Aharonov-Bohm suppression, where there is single waveguide which remains ...

Doubly periodic solutions for the Lagrange{Euler equation of the (1+1)-dimensional scalar ' 4 theory are studied. Provided that nonlin-ear term is small, the Poincare{Lindstedt asymptotic method is used to nd asymptotic solutions in the standing wave form. It is proved that using the Jacobi elliptic function cn as a zero approximation one can solve the problem of the main resonance, appearing i...
