We have discovered experimentally that soliton-soliton collisions in wavelength division multiplexing significantly alter the polarization states of the colliding solitons. Analysis shows that the change in polarization is according to the cross product of the Stokes vectors of the colliding solitons. Birefringence of the fiber spans can turn this polarization scattering into a significant sour...

This paper addresses a popular topic in science teaching and competitions for primary secondary school students. Experiments with colliding coins are relatively easy to perform therefore lessons. We used the idea competition we organized pupils aged 6 13 years. The is based on few experiments that participants have carry out before competition. Some years ago, 10- 11-year-old had experiment coi...

The feasibility of experiments with the polarized colliding beams expands significantly possibilities of getting information on fundamental interactions. Even the use of the transversely polarized beams enables getting the more reliable and clear definition of spins for the intermediate states and final particles,1p2 as well as to introduce the precise absolute energy scale.3-s But only the use...

Tailoring the design of robot bodies for control purposes is implicitly performed by engineers, however, a methodology or set of tools is largely absent and optimization of morphology (shape, material properties of robot bodies, etc.) is lagging behind the development of controllers. This has become even more prominent with the advent of compliant, deformable or ”soft” bodies. These carry subst...

human epidermal growth factor receptor (her) family plays an important role in various types of cancers. as a result, antibodies against her and the mechanism of antigen-antibody binding action are under active investigation. we previously constructed a single-chain variable fragment (scfv) against her2, i.e. anti-her2 scfv, for expressing in the escherichia coli . in the present study, we repo...

A Lagrange Sliding-Colliding Interface enables the free interaction of several meshes during the Lagrange Finite difference time step. It is based on dynamically identifying the boundary edges of the other meshes which may collide with a certain boundary vertex and identifying a "penetration point" for each such edge. From those non-additive possible collisions, the minimal sufficient set of in...
