Disordered Regimes of the one-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation
I review recent work on the ``phase diagram'' of the one-dimensional complex
Ginzburg-Landau equation for system sizes at which chaos is extensive.
Particular attention is paid to a detailed description of the spatiotemporally
disordered regimes encountered. The nature of the transition lines separating
these phases is discussed, and preliminary results are presented which aim at
evaluating the phase diagram in the infinite-size, infinite-time, thermodynamic
limit.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, 9 figures available by anonymous ftp to

Detection and construction of an elliptic solution to the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation
In evolution equations for a complex amplitude, the phase obeys a much more
intricate equation than the amplitude. Nevertheless, general methods should be
applicable to both variables. On the example of the traveling wave reduction of
the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL5), we explain how to
overcome the difficulties arising in two such methods: (i) the criterium that
the sum of residues of an elliptic solution should be zero, (ii) the
construction of a first order differential equation admitting the given
equation as a differential consequence (subequation method).Comment: 12 pages, no figure, to appear, Theoretical and Mathematical Physic
Another integrable case in the Lorenz model
A scaling invariance in the Lorenz model allows one to consider the usually
discarded case sigma=0. We integrate it with the third Painlev\'e function.Comment: 3 pages, no figure, to appear in J. Phys.
Meromorphic traveling wave solutions of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation
We look for singlevalued solutions of the squared modulus M of the traveling
wave reduction of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. Using
Clunie's lemma, we first prove that any meromorphic solution M is necessarily
elliptic or degenerate elliptic. We then give the two canonical decompositions
of the new elliptic solution recently obtained by the subequation method.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, to appear, Acta Applicandae Mathematica

Particle Flux in the deep Sargasso Sea : the 35-Year Oceanic Flux Program time series

The definitive version was published in Oceanography 27, no. 1 (2014): 142–147, doi:10.5670/oceanog.2014.17.The Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) sediment trap time series, the longest running time series of its kind, has continuously measured particle fluxes in the deep Sargasso Sea since 1978. OFP results provided the first direct observation of seasonality in the deep ocean, and they have documented the tight coupling between deep fluxes and upper ocean processes and the intensity of biological reprocessing of sinking flux in the ocean interior. The synergy among OFP and other research programs co-located at the Bermuda time-series site has provided unprecedented opportunities to study the linkages among ocean physics, biology, and chemistry; particle flux generation; and particle recycling in the ocean interior. The OFP time series is beginning to reveal how basin-scale climatic forcing, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation, affects the deep particle flux.We gratefully acknowledge the National

Temperature dependence of the thermal boundary resistivity of glass-embedded metal nanoparticles
The temperature dependence of the thermal boundary resistivity is
investigated in glass-embedded Ag particles of radius 4.5 nm, in the
temperature range from 300 to 70 K, using all-optical time-resolved
nanocalorimetry. The present results provide a benchmark for theories aiming at
explaining the thermal boundary resistivity at the interface between metal
nanoparticles and their environment, a topic of great relevance when tailoring
thermal energy delivery from nanoparticles as for applications in nanomedicine
and thermal management at the nanoscaleComment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Scavenging, cycling and removal fluxes of 210Po and 210Pb at the Bermuda time-series study site

The definitive version was published in Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography 93 (2013):108–118, doi:10.1016/j.dsr2.2013.01.005.Quantifying relative affinities of Po and Pb in different populations of marine particulate matter is of great importance in utilizing 210Po as a tracer for carbon cycling. We collected and analyzed water samples for the concentrations of dissolved and total 210Po and 30 210Pb from the upper 600 m of the water column at Bermuda Time-series Study site (September 1999 to September 2000) to investigate their seasonality of concentrations and their activity ratio (210Po/210Pb activity ratio, AR). Sinking particles collected in sediment traps at depths of 500 m, 1500 m, and 3200 m from the Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) time-series sediment traps were analyzed over a period of 12 months (May 1999 to May 2000). The objective was to compare the deficiencies of 210Po with respect to 210Pb in the water column to that measured in the sediment traps and to assess the relative affinities of Po and Pb with different particle pools.
Inventories of 210Po in the upper 500 m water column varied by a factor of 2, indicating seasonal variations of particulate flux dominated the removal of 210Po. The 210Po/210Pb ARs in the dissolved phase were generally less than the secular equilibrium value (1.0) in the upper 600 m, while were generally greater than 1.0 in the particulate phase, indicating higher removal rates of 210Po relative to 210Pb by particulate matter. The measured fluxes of 210Po and 210Pb in the 500 m, 1500 m, and 3200 m traps increased with depth, while the 210Po/210Pb ARs decreased with depth except from May-August 1999. From the measured fluxes of 210Po and 210Pb at these three traps and the concentrations of 210Po and 210Pb in the water column, this region appears to be a sink for 210Pb which is likely brought-in by lateral advection.GHH’s sabbatical leave was supported by Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (renamed as Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology) (PG47900 and PE98742).

Molecular Evaluation of exons 8 and 22 of the SHANK3 gene in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism spectrum disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with a complex and heterogeneous etiology. Studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in the aetiology of these diseases. Recently, de novo mutations, frameshifts and deletions have been described in the SHANK3 gene, also known as ProSAP2 gene, which encodes a synaptic scaffolding protein. All the participants of this study had normal karyotypes and underwent screening for Fragile-X syndrome. Subsequently, they were analyzed by direct sequencing of different points of exons 8 and 22 of the SHANK3 gene. None of the study participants presented with changes in these regions. These findings may be due to the fact that mutations, deletions and duplications of the SHANK3 gene are rare
QGLAB: A MATLAB Package for Computations on Quantum Graphs
We describe QGLAB, a new MATLAB package for analyzing partial differential
equations on quantum graphs. The software is built on the existing,
object-oriented MATLAB directed-graph class, inheriting its structure and
adding additional easy-to-use features. The package allows one to construct a
quantum graph and accurately compute the spectrum of elliptic operators,
solutions to Poisson problems, the linear and nonlinear time evolution of a
variety of PDEs, the continuation of branches of steady states (including
locating and switching branches at bifurcations) and more. It uses a unified
framework to implement finite-difference and Chebyshev discretizations of
differential operators on a quantum graph. For simplicity, the package
overloads many built-in MATLAB functions to work on the class.Comment: 47 pages, 23 figures, Comments Welcome! Code associated with this
