" …bright colours of leaves in the autumn are a warning signal to insects that lay their eggs on the trees in that season. " —Marco Archetti and Sam P. Brown (2003) [1] " The assumed attractiveness of bright colours to insects would appear to involve the supposition that the colour vision of insects is approximately the same as our own. Surely this is a good deal to take for granted. " —Lord Ra...

The narrow escape problem in diffusion theory is to calculate the mean first passage time of a diffusion process to a small target on the reflecting boundary of a bounded domain. The problem is equivalent to solving the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary value problem for the Poisson equation with small Dirichlet and large Neumann parts. The mixed boundary value problem, which goes back to Lord R...

Levitation and controlled motion of matter in air have a wealth of potential applications ranging from materials processing to biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. We present a unique acoustophoretic concept for the contactless transport and handling of matter in air. Spatiotemporal modulation of the levitation acoustic field allows continuous planar transport and processing of multiple objects, f...

Michelson [1,2]1 showed the usefulness of the interJerometer that bears his name. He showed that the intensity of the light measured at the output of his \ device is the FOUl'ier transform of the incident optic· cal spectra. Lord Rayleigh [3] showed how the obc servation of the visibility of the fring es could give the spectral profile of a symmetrical line. With the development of infrared det...

i hp; medical man who wishes to gain a clear idea of the broad foundations upon which modern medicine and surgery are based should read two great books which are almost twin classics; Rene Vallery Radot's Life of Pasteur" (English translation by Mrs. Devonshire), and Sir Rickman Godlee's "Lord Lister," the re-appearance of which in a third edition we cordially welcome. Both are finely written s...

In this article we study hardware-oriented versions of the recently appeared Layered ORthogonal lattice Detector (LORD) and Turbo LORD (T-LORD). LORD and T-LORD are attractive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) detection algorithms, that aim to approach the optimal Maximum-Likelihood (ML) and Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) performance, respectively, yet allowing a complexity quadratic in the num...

Introduction. For nonlinear field theory models in 1+1–dimensional space–time the equations of motion admit finite energy and finite width solutions called solitons [1]. The interest in such low-dimensional sine– Gordon (SG) models as an universal concept in nonlinear science arises from their integrability, duality properties, non-perturbative aspects, and electric-magnetic duality in gauge th...
