A theory of a lateral stress relaxation in a fluid bilayer membrane under a step-like pressure pulse is proposed. It is shown theoretically that transfer of lipid molecules into a strained region may lead to a substantial decrease of the membrane’s free energy due to local relaxation of the stress. Simultaneously, this same effect also causes appearance of the spontaneous curvature of the membr...

the present research simulates time-periodic unsteady transonic flow around pitching airfoils via the solution of unsteady euler and navier-stokes equations, using time spectral method (tsm) and compares it with the traditional methods such as bdf and explicit structured adaptive grid method. the tsm uses a fourier representation in time and hence solves for the periodic state directly accordin...

A fundamental model consisting of charged particles moving in free space exposed to alternating and direct current (ACDC) electromagnetic fields is analyzed. Effects of charged particles initial position and initial velocity to cyclotron resonance frequency are observed. Strong effects are observed revealing that effects of electric and magnetic fields on a charged particle in free space varies...

We use a model to study the dynamics of malaria in the human and mosquito population to explain the stability patterns of malaria. The model results show that the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable and occurs whenever the basic reproduction number, R0 is less than unity. We also note that when R0 . 1, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the endemic equilibrium i...

We present a highly coherent semiconductor laser device formed by a 1⁄2-VCSEL structure and an external concave mirror in a millimetre high finesse stable cavity. The quantum well structure is diode-pumped by a commercial single mode GaAs laser diode system. This free running low noise tunable single-frequency laser exhibits >50mW output power in a low divergent circular TEM beam with a spectra...
