Simple models of excitable dynamics on graphs are an efficient framework for studying the interplay between network topology and dynamics. This topic is of practical relevance to diverse fields, ranging from neuroscience to engineering. Here we analyze how a single excitation propagates through a random network as a function of the excitation threshold, that is, the relative amount of activity ...

We demonstrate that x-ray irradiation can be used to induce an insulator–metal transition in Si-doped Al0.35Ga0.65As, a semiconductor with DX centers. The excitation mechanism of the DX centers into their shallow donor state was revealed by studying the photoconductance along with fluorescence. The photoconductance as a function of incident x-ray energy exhibits an edge both at the Ga and As K ...

The excitation k-space perspective on small-tip-angle selective excitation has facilitated RF pulse designs in a range of MR applications. In this paper, k-space-based design of multidimensional RF pulses is formulated as a quadratic optimization problem, and solved efficiently by the iterative conjugate-gradient (CG) algorithm. Compared to conventional design approaches, such as the conjugate-...

Using the methods of kinetic theory expressions for diffusion and drift coefficients a cold Fermi system are obtained. Their dependences on momentum calculated step distribution function as well in case excitation particle-hole pair.

Passivity-based control is widely used in electronic circuit systems because it can utilize their internal structures to facilitate the controller design. In this paper, we first propose a dissipative Hamiltonian realization of power systems and discuss the disadvantages of the traditional passivity-based excitation controller. Then, a novel excitation controller is put forward to reassign the ...

where t is time and 0(t) is the fluorescence decay function after a sudden excitation at time t = 0. Recently [1] we discussed the influence of excitation energy migration among donors on MFDT of donor molecules in a donor-acceptor system. Assuming that the interaction between an excited donor molecule and a non-excited donor or acceptor molecule (trap) is of dipole-dipole type [2], we obtained...

We employed deep UV (DUV) Raman spectroscopy for characterization of molecular photodamage in cells. 244 nm light excitation Raman spectra were measured for HeLa cells exposed to the excitation light for different durations. In the spectra obtained with the shortest exposure duration (0.25 sec at 16 µW/µm(2) irradiation), characteristic resonant Raman bands of adenine and guanine at 1483 cm(-1)...

Spatiotemporal networks are studied in a photosensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium that allows both local and nonlocal transmission of excitation. Local transmission occurs via propagating excitation waves, while nonlocal transmission takes place by nondiffusive jumps to destination sites linked to excited sites in the medium. Static, dynamic, and domain link networks are experimentally and co...

The fusion evaporation-residue cross sections for 32 S+ 184 W has been mea-246, and 257 MeV using the ATLAS Fragment Mass Analyzer. The data are compared with Statistical Model calculations and it is found that a nuclear dissipation strength, which increases with the excitation energy is required to reproduce the excitation function. A comparison with previously published data show that the dis...

The piezoelectric ~PZ! effect is demonstrated for the elongated three-dimensional ~In,Ga!As islands grown on a GaAs ~100! substrate. The photoluminescence ~PL! spectrum is studied as a function of excitation intensity. With increasing excitation intensity, a blue shift and a linewidth reduction of the PL peak from the ~In,Ga!As islands are observed. The observed phenomena are attributed to the ...
