The onset of a note on a bowed instrument shows a transition period during which the periodic "steady-state " motion develops. Depending on the particular combination of bowing parameters, this state is often characterised by periods which are prolonged ("delayed triggering1>, or by a division of the period into two or several parts ("multiple flyback "). An onset with perfectly periodic motion...

In the last years there has been a considerable increase in electricity consumption and generation from renewable sources, especially wind and solar photovoltaic. This phenomenon has increased the risk of line saturation with the consequent need of increasing the capacity of some power lines. Considering the high cost and the time involved in installing new power lines, the difficulty in acquir...

SUMMARY. A simple series form is obtained for the transient state probabilities of a single server Markovian queue with finite waiting space whence all particular cases concerning infinite waiting space and steady-state situations can be derived straight away. Also the coefficients in the series satisfy iterative recurrence relations which enable fast and accurate numerical computations.

We investigate dynamical systems characterized by a time series of distinct semi-stable activity patterns, as they are observed in cortical neural activity patterns. We propose and discuss a general mechanism allowing for an adiabatic continuation between attractor networks and a specific adjoined transient-state network, which is strictly dissipative. Dynamical systems with transient states re...

Rao, Navalgund, "Frequency modulated pulse for ultrasonic imaging in an attenuating medium" (1990). IEEE,Accessed from ABSTRACT There is now increasing theoretical and experimental evidence that ultrasound used at intensities employed clinically, can produce effects characteristic of transient cavitation. Probability to cause bioeffects by transient cavitation is immensely greater above a thres...
