Researchers are drawn to exploring wave dispersion in nonlinear systems because of the amplitude-dependent tunability of the band gap. This paper investigates the amplitude-dependent wave dispersion in continuous beam structures supported periodically by nonlinear springs. Additionally, it examines the influence of inherent beam damping on wave dispersion. The analytical framework consists of homogenization of the unit cell and the method of multiple scales with two distinct time scales to derive the wave dispersion equation. The proposed analytical approach for nonlinear wave propagation is validated through numerical finite element simulations. It is observed that the frequency shift is positive for hardening and negative for softening supports. Following this, the dispersion shift over time in the damped systems is examined by considering viscous and strain rate-dependent damping. The sensitivity of strain rate damping to propagation constant and the independence of viscous damping from propagation constant are thoroughly investigated. In a damped system, the frequency shift diminishes over time as the amplitude decreases reducing the effect of nonlinearity. This study opens up avenues for controlling or filtering vibrations through the tunable band gap of continuous nonlinear metamaterials.

The collective surface motility and swarming behavior of microbes play a crucial role in the formation of polymicrobial communities, shaping ecosystems as diverse as animal and human microbiota, plant rhizospheres, and various aquatic environments. In the human oral microbiota, T9SS-driven gliding bacteria transport non-motile microbes and bacteriophages as cargo, thereby influencing the spatial organization and structural complexity of these polymicrobial communities. However, the physical rules governing the dispersal of T9SS-driven bacterial swarms are barely understood.

The rational design of advanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts is essential to improve the performance of energy conversion devices. However, it remains a huge challenge to construct hierarchical micro-/meso-/macroporous nanostructures, especially mesoporous transport channels in catalysts, to enhance catalytic capability. Herein, motivated by the characteristics of energetic metal-organic frameworks (EMOFs) that produce an abundance of gases during high-temperature pyrolysis, we prepared a unique tetrazine-based EMOF-derived electrocatalyst (denoted as FeC@NSC-900) consisting of highly dispersed FeC nanoparticles and N,S-codoped mesoporous carbon nanotubes.

This article reports an Ultra wideband nano scale metamaterial absorber with ultrathin and flexible feature for visible spectrum applications. The absorber investigated for dispersion and Fano resonance characteristics to achieve metamaterial properties as well as independent of asymmetry of structure. Maximum visible spectrum wave interaction with the cascaded split nano square meta atom also ensured to achieve the absorption at highest percentage in numerical evaluation.

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most promising management method for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The P wave in the electrocardiogram (ECG) represents atrial depolarization. This study aims to correlate P-wave parameters after PVI with outcomes.

In this framework, the Hirota bilinear form is applied to acquire diverse types of breather wave solutions from the foresaid equation. Abundant breather wave solutions are presented by the Hirota bilinear form and a mixture of exponentials and trigonometric functions with the usage of symbolic computation.
