Pitch-controlled reorientational nonlinearity in chiral nematic liquid crystals: a reduced-order model for self-focusing and soliton formation
Homa Saadatmand, M. Javad Zakeri, Ahmed Sameh Ahmed +6
We present a reduced-order semi-analytical model for reorientational nonlinearity in chiral nematic liquid crystals, showing that the chiral pitch acts as the dominant physical len…

Do time delay effects explain galactic velocity profiles?
L. Benkoula, K. Chima, J. Kingsbury +3
Using the gravitoelectromagnetic analogy for weak gravitational fields, we critique explanations of galactic velocity profiles that invoke time delay effects (i.e. "retarded gravit…
