Smart Materials for Ranging Systems
The problem of determining the location of an object, which is usually called ranging, attracts at present much attention in many different areas of applications, among them in ecological and safety devices. Electromagnetic waves along with sound waves are widely used for this purpose. Familiar examples of ranging systems are radar, sonar, GPS positioning, speed meters, etc.. Most are echo-type of devices, generating a wave and interpreting its echo from the object of interest. GPS is a cooperative system, in which the receiver observes timing signals from sources at known locations, and locates itself in reference to them. Passive ranging makes use of waves generated by the object to be located that are picked up by an observer.
Pumps, Transporters, and Ion Channels
A compilation of articles based on some of the talks given at theCentro de Estudios Cientificos (CECS) in Valdivia during the course of a celebration tomark the 60th birthdays of Ramon Latorre and Enrico Stefani.Ramon Latorre is one of the most outstanding figures in channel Biophysicstoday. The articles presented in this book concern interests of Ramon and Enricoduring their careers. They span from considerations as to why bacteria need ion channelsin their membranes to fine details of how conformational changes in the protein lead toion channel opening and closing. The importance of water channels in tissue physiologyto the control of excitability by ion channels and pumps. And from the cell biology of ionchannel sorting to their failure in disease states.The book is hereby dedicated to Ramon Latorre and Enrico Stefani, as homageas first class scientists, educators, innovators and, most importantly, best of friends.
Numerical Continuation Methods for Dynamical Systems : Path following and boundary value problems
The book opens with a foreword by Herbert B. Keller and lecture notes by Sebius Doedel himself that introduce the basic concepts of numerical bifurcation analysis. The other chapters by leading experts discuss continuation for various types of systems and objects and showcase examples of how numerical bifurcation analysis can be used in concrete applications. Topics that are treated include: interactive continuation tools, higher-dimensional continuation, the computation of invariant manifolds, and continuation techniques for slow-fast systems, for symmetric Hamiltonian systems, for spatially extended systems and for systems with delay. Three chapters review physical applications: the dynamics of a SQUID, global bifurcations in laser systems, and dynamics and bifurcations in electronic circuits.
