Experimental study of non-linear energy pumping occurring at a single fast frequency

Experimental verification of passive non-linear energy pumping in a two-degree-of-freedom system comprising a damped linear oscillator coupled to an essentially non-linear attachment is carried out. In the experiments presented the non-linear attachment interacts with a single linear mode and, hence, energy pumping occurs at a single ‘fast’ frequency in the neighborhood of the eigenfrequency of the linear mode. Good agreement between simulated and experimental results was observed, in spite of the strongly (essentially) non-linear and transient nature of the dynamics of the system considered. The experiments bear out earlier predictions that a significant fraction of the energy introduced directly to a linear structure by an external impulsive (broadband) load can be transferred (pumped) to an essentially non-linear attachment, and dissipated there locally without spreading back to the system. In addition, the reported experimental results confirm that (a) non-linear energy pumping in systems of coupled oscillators can occur only above a certain threshold of the input energy, and (b) there is an optimal value of the energy input at which a maximum portion of the energy is absorbed and dissipated at the NES.     

Heterogeneous versus bulk nucleation of lysozyme crystals

Heterogeneous (on‐glass) protein crystal nucleation was separated from the bulk one in systems of thin protein solution layers, confined between two glass plates of custom made quasi two‐dimensional all‐glass cells, as well as by applying forced protein solution flow. Two commercial samples of hen‐egg‐white lysozyme, Seikagaku and Sigma were used as model proteins. Applying the classical technique of separation in time of nucleation and growth stages with protein solution layers of thickness 0.05 cm we found that the on‐glass crystal nucleation prevailed highly with Seikagaku HEWL, while on the opposite, bulk nucleated crystals represented the main crystal fraction in Sigma solution. Also using 0.05 cm solution layers nucleation rates were measured separately for the on‐glass and bulk protein crystals. The process was investigated by varying solution layer thicknesses as well, from 0.05 down to 0.01, 0.0065 and 0.002 cm. Studying the influence of the forced protein solution flow on HEWL crystal nucleation the classical double‐pulse technique was modified by separating the nucleation and growth stages not only in time, but simultaneously also in place. In this case we found that the ratio of on‐glass formed crystal nuclei to bulk nuclei depended on the flow velocity, but in different manner with Seikagaku HEWL and Sigma HEWL. A plausible explanation of our experimental results is that the bulk crystal nucleation occurs on foreign surfaces as well, e.g. on rests of source biomaterial, which are always present in the protein solutions. Moreover, biomaterial seems to be more active nucleant than glass. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Light propagation and oscillations in two-dimensional graded square photonic lattices

We have studied the optical oscillations and transitions in two-dimensional graded square photonic lattices (GSPL) formed by evanescently coupled optical waveguide arrays with parabolic confinements in all transverse directions. When we retain only the orthogonal couplings, decoupled one-dimensional models can be used to obtain the various normal modes, which correspond to a variety of optical oscillations. Six different combinations of Bloch oscillation (BO), dipole oscillation (DO), and reflections from the boundaries of finite lattice are classified on the phase diagram. If we include the diagonal couplings, transitions among various oscillations are obtained with the Hamiltonian optics approach and confirmed by the field-evolution analysis. We studied in detail a typical example in which a switching occurs from the constituent BO and DO to both DOs in the two orthogonal directions. The method to analyze the complex field evolution in GSPL can be extended to similar systems with different types of lattices and/or confinements.

Investigation of a mutual interaction force at different pressure amplitudes in sulfuric acid

This paper investigates the secondary Bjerknes force for two oscillating bubbles in various pressure amplitudes in a concentration of 95% sulfuric acid.The equilibrium radii of the bubbles are assumed to be smaller than 10 μm at a frequency of 37 kHz in various strong driving acoustical fields around 2.0 bars (1 bar=10 5 Pa).The secondary Bjerknes force is investigated in uncoupled and coupled states between the bubbles,with regard to the quasi-adiabatic model for the bubble interior.It finds that the value of the secondary Bjerknes force depends on the driven pressure of sulfuric acid and its amount would be increased by liquid pressure amplitude enhancement.The results show that the repulsion area of the interaction force would be increased by increasing the driven pressure because of nonlinear oscillation of bubbles.     

Noise-induced synchronous stochastic oscillations small scale cultured heart-cell networks

This paper reports that the synchronous integer multiple oscillations of heart-cell networks or clusters are observed in the biology experiment. The behaviour of the integer multiple rhythm is a transition between super- and sub- threshold oscillations, the stochastic mechanism of the transition is identified. The similar synchronized oscillations are theoretically reproduced in the stochastic network composed of heterogeneous cells whose behaviours are chosen as excitable or oscillatory states near a Hopf bifurcation point. The parameter regions of coupling strength and noise density that the complex oscillatory rhythms can be simulated are identified. The results show that the rhythm results from a simple stochastic alternating process between super- and sub-threshold oscillations. Studies on single heart cells forming these clusters reveal excitable or oscillatory state nearby a Hopf bifurcation point underpinning the stochastic alternation. In discussion, the results are related to some abnormal heartbeat rhythms such as the sinus arrest.
