We predict the existence of a novel type of temporal localized structure in injected Kerr-Gires-Tournois interferometers (KGTI). These bright pulses exist in the normal dispersion regime, yet they do not correspond to the usual scenario of domain wall locking that induces complex shape multistability, weak stability, and a reduced domain of existence. The new states are observed beyond the mean-field limit and out of the bistable region.

However, this had a severe toxic impact on the kidney health of consumers. As a result, tremendous effort was put into the prevention of further harm to the public.

These are some examples of the complex regulation of subcellular localization, which often depends on posttranslational modifications and is triggered by environmental stressors. The challenge is the precise identification of the compartments, the quantitative analysis of proteins, which reside in multiple compartments, and their transport dynamics.
