Let f : C → C be a transcendental entire map that is subhyperbolic, i.e., the intersection of the Fatou set F(f) and the postsingular set P (f) is compact and the intersection of the Julia set J (f) and P (f) is finite. Assume that no asymptotic value of f belongs to J (f) and that the local degree of f at all points in J (f) is bounded by some finite constant. We prove that there is a hyperbol...

When first presented with live crab prey, naive cuttlefish typically approached from the front and were often pinched. In subsequent trials, this initial group rapidly improved their prey capture techniques and attacked from above or behind the crab. Naive cuttlefish that first watched experienced conspecifics prey on crabs captured crabs without getting pinched. However, naive cuttlefish that ...

Pinched flow fractionation is shown to be an efficient and selective way to quickly separate particles by size in a very polydisperse semi-concentrated suspension. In an effort to optimize the method, we discuss the quantitative influence of the pinching intensity in the balance between the requirements of selectivity and minimal dilution.

In this note we construct strange attractors in a class of skew product dynamical systems. A dynamical system of the class is a bundle map of a trivial bundle whose base is a compact metric space and the fiber is the non-negative half real line. The map on the base is a homeomorphism preserving an ergodic measure. The fiber maps either are strictly monotone and strictly concave or collapse at z...

A growing chorus of practitioners sing the praises of simulation-based training. As pinched budgets drive managers to scrutinize the return on their training investments, the question is, are simulationbased methods more effective than conventional training methods, such as classroom-based and traditional eLearning? That is, do they result in greater retention, deeper understanding, higher leve...

In this work, the dependency of polarization (P) - electric field (E) loop area A lead free ferroelectrics Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT), K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (KBT), and Na0.25K0.25Bi0.5TiO3 (NKBT) on amplitude (E0) is studied. Based nature hysteresis with increasing E0, lnA versus lnE0 graph divided into three stages scaling exponents each stage are estimated. third stage, NBT, KBT, NKBT show different shapes...
