The increase in population and economic growth, coupled with accelerated urbanization and suburbanization, has exacerbated traffic congestion and environmental challenges in urban areas. To address these issues, a comprehensive traffic…
Travel activities have been widely applied to quantify spatial interactions between places, regions and nations. In this paper, we model the spatial connectivities between 652 Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) in Beijing by a taxi OD dataset.…
Spatiotemporal control of excitable media is of paramount importance in the development of new applications, ranging from biology to physics. To this end we identify and describe a qualitative property of excitable media that enables us to…
This work is dedicated to the theoretical investigation of the influence of water clusters' organisation and size on the electronic spectrum of an interacting benzene (Bz) molecule using both TD-DFT and CASPT2 approaches. Two series of…
We develop a microscopic calculation scheme for the excitation spectrum of a single-electron atom localized near a dielectric nanostructure. The atom originally has an arbitrary degenerate structure of its Zeeman sublevels on its closed…
Mesoscopic dynamics of self-organized structures is the most important aspect in the description of complex living systems. The Belousov--Zhabotinsky (B--Z) reaction is in this respect a convenient testbed because it represents a prototype…
We show how to control the movement of a wheeled robot using on-board liquid marbles made of Belousov-Zhabotinsky solution droplets coated with polyethylene powder. Two stainless steel, iridium coated electrodes were inserted in a marble…
In two-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems, local curvature perturbations in the shape of traveling waves are typically damped out and disappear in the course of time. If, however, the inhibitor diffuses much faster than the activator,…
We construct a model of an excitable medium with elastic rather than the usual diffusive coupling. We explore the dynamics of elastic excitable media, which we find to be dominated by low dimensional structures, including global…
We apply Nambu non-equilibrium thermodynamics (NNET)-a dynamics with multiple Hamiltonians coupled to entropy-induced dissipation-to paradigmatic far-from-equilibrium systems. Concretely, we construct NNET realizations for the…
An approach to information processing based on the excitation of patterns of activity by non-linear active resonators in response to their input patterns is proposed. Arguments are presented to show that any computation performed by a…
Optical excitations in hexagonal nanonetwork materials, for example, Boron-Nitride (BN) sheets and nanotubes, are investigated theoretically. The bonding of BN systems is positively polarized at the B site, and is negatively polarized at…
Quantum dot lasers display many unique dynamic phenomena when optically injected. Bistability has been predicted in a region of high injection strength. We show experimentally, rather than a phase-locked bistability, a square wave…
We have systematically investigated the spatial and temporal dynamics of crystallization that occurs in the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 upon irradiation with an intense THz pulse. THz pump and optical probe spectroscopy revealed that…
Nonlinear excitation of low frequency zonal structure (LFZS) by beta-induced Alfven eigenmode (BAE) is investigated using nonlinear gyrokinetic theory. It is found that electrostatic zonal flow (ZF), rather than zonal current, is…
Turing presented a general representation scheme by which to achieve artificial intelligence - unorganised machines. Significantly, these were a form of discrete dynamical system and yet such representations remain relatively unexplored.…
The electromechanical response of PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is strongly influenced by crystallographic texture and residual stress, both of which affect domain switching behavior. While these effects…
A beta-skeleton is a planar proximity undirected graph of an Euclidean point set where nodes are connected by an edge if their lune-based neighborhood contains no other points of the given set. Parameter $\beta$ determines size and shape of…
Oscillatory Zoning (OZ) is a phenomenon exhibited by many geologically formed crystals. It is characterized by quasi periodic oscillations in the composition of a solid solution, caused by self-organization. We present a new model for OZ.…
Recent experiments (R. A. Baragiola and C. A. Dukes, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 76}, 2547 (1996)) with slow ions incident at grazing angle on metal surfaces have shown that bulk plasmons are excited under conditions where the ions do not…
