Weissenberg observed that when a rod is rotated in a complex fluid, the fluid will climb the rod. When revolutions per time are sufficiently large, climbing ceases and oscillations on the fluid surface begin. Previous studies of this phenomena focus on the regime prior to oscillation; however, this study focuses on understanding these oscillations. By performing a harmonic analysis, wave featur...

We consider theoretically the spontaneous oscillations of an elastic cylinder in a streaming fluid flow. Such oscillations are responsible for stall flutter in e.g. turbine blades and bridges, or Æolian tones when in the acoustic range. The process of vortex separation from the oscillating surface is modelled as a self-excited oscillator. The vortex separation frequency remains synchronized wit...

Transverse loop oscillations observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft are studied after an impulsive solar flare eruption on 2012 May 8. We have found that a transversely oscillating coronal loop seen in the 171 Å bandpass oscillates in anti-phase with respect to adjacent larger loops seen in the 193 Å and 211 Å bandpasses....

We report, for the first time, direct observation of coherent oscillations in the ground-state of IR775 dye due to microheterogeneous environment. Using ultrafast near-infrared degenerate pump-probe technique centered at 800 nm, we present the dynamics of IR775 in a binary mixture of methanol and chloroform at ultra-short time resolution of 30 fs. The dynamics of the dye in binary mixtures, in ...

– The Fermi surface of the quasi-two dimensional (2D) organic metal (ET)8Hg4Cl12 (C6H5Br)2 can be regarded as a 2D network of compensated electron and hole orbits coupled by magnetic breakthrough. Simultaneous measurements of the interlayer magnetoresistance and magnetic torque have been performed for various directions of the magnetic field up to 28 T in the temperature range from 0.36 K to 4....

While the synaptic mechanisms involved in the generation of in vitro network oscillations have been widely studied, little is known about the importance of voltage-gated currents during such activity. Here we study the role of the M-current (I(M)) in the modulation of network oscillations in the gamma-frequency range (20-80 Hz). Kv7/KCNQ subunits, the molecular correlates of I(M), are abundantl...

measuring field gravity in sea due to the accelerations introduced via waves and movements to the gravity measuring systems has a low accuracy since according to einstein's equalent principle, gravimeter isn't able to separate the gravity acceleration from another acceleration. ship borne gravimetery observations by means of like oscillations and accelerations of the ship motion, and ...

Limulus ventral photoreceptors contain calcium stores sensitive to release by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (InsP3) and a calcium-activated conductance that depolarizes the cell. Mechanisms that terminate the response to InsP3 were investigated using nonmetabolizable DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphorothioate (InsPS3). An injection of 1 mM InsPS3 into a photoreceptor's light-sensitive lobe...
