Published: November 2007

We show that the polarization mode dispersion of a constantly spun, single-mode fiber is strongly influenced by the autocorrelation function of its birefringence. In particular, under probable conditions, the mean square differential group delay of the spun fiber may even be higher than the delay that the same fiber would have if it were not spun.

We investigate the aging properties of phase-separation kinetics following quenches from T=∞ to a finite temperature below T_{c} of the paradigmatic two-dimensional conserved Ising model with power-law decaying long-range interactions ∼r^{-(2+σ)}. Physical aging with a power-law decay of the two-time autocorrelation function C(t,t_{w})∼(t/t_{w})^{-λ/z} is observed, displaying a complex dependence of the autocorrelation exponent λ on σ. A value of λ=3.

Night-blooming cacti, primarily pollinated by bats and hawkmoths, also attract beetles seeking food and safe shelter for mating and brooding their offspring. The influence of flower density on beetle visitation rates remains unclear, with responses varying by species and environmental factors. In the Caatinga Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest, we studied the flower occupancy distribution of two beetle species, Cyclocephala paraguayensis and Nitops aff.

The freely jointed chain model with reversible hinges (rFJC) is the simplest theoretical model, which captures reversible transitions of the local bending stiffness along the polymer chain backbone (e.g., helix-coil-type of local conformational changes or changes due to the binding/unbinding of ligands).

Resilience expresses the ability of an individual to cope with short-term disturbances and to recover quickly by returning to the original level of performance. It can be measured by variance-based parameters and by the autocorrelation of daily milk yields in dairy cows. The design of resilience indicator traits, their heritabilities and genetic correlations have been studied in detail in recent years.

Crystallization and amorphization are important processes and different cooling rates cause these transitions. Obtaining pure metals from their molten state is a challenge unless these two are well understood. Here we study both these transitions in liquid Ti using molecular dynamics simulations wherein Ti is modeled with embedded atom potential.
