Dissipative nonlinear wave dynamics have been investigated extensively in mode-locked lasers with single transverse mode, whereas there are few studies related to three-dimensional nonlinear dynamics within lasers. Recently, spatiotemporal mode locking (STML) was proposed in lasers with small modal (i.e.

The majority of fracture mechanics studies on the toughness of bone have been performed under tensile loading. However, it has recently been shown that the toughness of human cortical bone in the transverse (breaking) orientation is actually much lower in shear (mode II) than in tension (mode I); a fact that is physiologically relevant as in vivo bone is invariably loaded multiaxially. Since bone is a material that derives its fracture resistance primarily during crack growth through extrinsic toughening mechanisms, such as crack deflection and bridging, evaluation of its toughness is best achieved through measurements of the crack-resistance or R-curve, which describes the fracture toughness as a function of crack extension.

In this theoretical work, we treat behavioral and perceptual issues on an equal footing and examine the emergence of mutually exclusive behavioral patterns and perceptual variables during infant development from the perspective of multistable competitive dynamic systems. Accordingly, behavioral modes and modes of perception compete with each other for activation. One and only one mode survives the mode-mode competition, which accounts for the incompatibility of modes being considered.

We introduce a general model of pattern formation in optical systems made of a cavity with an active medium as a photorefractive crystal fed by a pump. The model is based on the interplay of a diffractive equation for the optical field and a diffusive equation for the medium refractivity. The aim of the model is to describe a series of experiments which have shown mode competition (periodic or chaotic alternation) for low Fresnel numbers (F) and mode coexistence, leading to short range space correlations, for high F.
