Network Mechanism for Insect Olfaction
Pamela B Pyzza, Katherine A Newhall, Douglas Zhou +2
Early olfactory pathway responses to the presentation of an odor exhibit remarkably similar dynamical behavior across phyla from insects to mammals, and frequently involve transiti…
Inverse scattering transform for two-level systems with nonzero background
Gino Biondini, Ildar Gabitov, Gregor Kovacic +1
We formulate the inverse scattering transform for the scalar Maxwell-Bloch system of equations describing the resonant interaction of light and active optical media in the case whe…
Modulation-resonance mechanism for surface waves in a two-layer fluid system
Shixiao W. Jiang, Gregor Kovačič, Douglas Zhou +1
We propose a Boussinesq-type model to study the surface/interfacial wave manifestation of an underlying, slowly-varying, long-wavelength, baroclinic flow in a two-layer, density-st…
Linearizable boundary value problems for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation in laboratory coordinates
Katelyn Plaisier Leisman, Gino Biondini, Gregor Kovacic
Boundary value problems for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation on the half line in laboratory coordinates are considered. A class of boundary conditions that lead to linearizable p…
Resonant optical pulses on a continuous wave background in two-level active media
Sitai Li, Gino Biondini, Gregor Kovacic +1
We present exact N-soliton optical pulses riding on a continuous-wave (c.w.) beam that propagate through and interact with a two-level active optical medium. Their representation i…
