The oscillation frequency of a nonlinear reaction system acts as a key factor for interaction and superposition of spatiotemporal patterns. To control and design spatiotemporal patterns in oscillatory media, it is important to establish the dominant frequency-related mechanism and the effects of external forces and species concentrations on oscillatory frequency. In the Ru(bipy)3(2+)-catalyzed ...

The phenomenon of neutrino oscillation has been firmly established: neutrinos change their flavour in their path from their source to observers. This paper is dedicated to the description of experimental results in the oscillation field, of their present understanding and of possible future developments in the experimental neutrino oscillation physics.

The dc and rf performance of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on Si-on-poly-SiC (SopSiC) substrates is reported. The HEMT structure incorporated a 7 period GaN/AlN superlattice between the AlGaN barrier and GaN channel for improved carrier confinement. The knee voltage of devices with 2 μm gatedrain spacing was 2.12 V and increased to 3 V at 8...

Stimulus-induced changes in oscillation frequencies may affect information flow in the brain. We investigated whether the oscillation frequency of spiking activity in cat area 17 changes as a function of the drifting direction of sinusoidal gratings. Oscillation frequencies were tuned to specific drifting directions, such that some directions induced higher oscillation frequencies than others. ...

The time average of the fully nonlinear current through a double quantum dot, subject to an arbitrary combination of ac and dc voltages, is calculated exactly using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function technique. When driven on resonance, the system functions as an efficient electron pump due to Rabi oscillation between the dots. The pumping current is maximum when the coupling to the lead...

Details of pressure distributions, on a two dimensional airfoil oscillating in pitch through stall, in a 0.8 0.8 m low-speed wind tunnel are presented. Pitching occurred about the airfoils quarter-chord axis. Pitch rate, Reynolds number, and oscillation amplitudes were varied to determine the effects on pressure and lift distributions. It was found that mean angle of attack and pitching amplitu...

A physiological membrane-receptor agonist typically stimulates oscillations, of varying frequencies, in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Whether and how [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency regulates agonist-stimulated downstream events, such as gene expression, in non-excitable cells remain unknown. By precisely manipulating [Ca2+]i oscillation frequency in histamine-stimulated vascular endoth...

Summertime cloud-to-ground lightning strikes are responsible for the majority of wildfire ignitions across vast sections of the seasonally dry western United States. In this study, a strong connection between active phases of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and regional summertime lightning activity was found across the interior western United States. This intraseasonal mode of lightning ac...
