Two-stage Turing model for generating pigment patterns on the leopard and the jaguar
Based on the results of phylogenetic analysis, which showed that flecks are the primitive pattern of the felid family and all other patterns including rosettes and blotches develop from it, we construct a Turing reaction-diffusion model which generates spot patterns initially. Starting from this spotted pattern, we successfully generate patterns of adult leopards and jaguars by tuning parameters of the model in the subsequent phase of patterning
Oscillatory Turing Patterns in a Simple Reaction-Diffusion System
Turing suggested that, under certain conditions, chemicals can react and diffuse in such a way as to produce steady-state inhomogeneous spatial patterns of chemical concentrations. We consider a simple two-variable reaction-diffusion system and find there is a spatio-temporally oscillating solution (STOS) in parameter regions where linear analysis predicts a pure Turing instability and no Hopf instability. We compute the boundary of the STOS and spatially non-uniform solution (SSNS) regions and investigate what features control its behavior
Representations and classification of traveling wave solutions to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon equation
Two concepts named atom solution and combinatory solution are defined. The
classification of all single traveling wave atom solutions to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon
equation is obtained, and qualitative properties of solutions are discussed. In
particular, we point out that some qualitative properties derived intuitively
from dynamic system method aren't true. In final, we prove that our solutions
to Sinh-G{\"o}rdon equation include all solutions obtained in the paper[Fu Z T
et al, Commu. in Theor. Phys.(Beijing) 2006 45 55]. Through an example, we show
how to give some new identities on Jacobian elliptic functions.Comment: 12 pages. accepted by Communications in theoretical physics (Beijing
Double-layer Perfect Metamaterial Absorber and Its Application for RCS Reduction of Antenna
To reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of a circularly polarized (CP) tilted beam antenna, a double-layer perfect metamaterial absorber (DLPMA) in the microwave frequency is proposed. The DLPMA exhibits a wider band by reducing the distance between the three absorption peaks. Absorbing characteristics are analyzed and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed absorber works well from 5.95 GHz to 6.86 GHz (relative bandwidth 14.1%) with the thickness of 0.5 mm. Then, the main part of perfect electric conductor ground plane of the CP tilted beam antenna is covered by the DLPMA. Simu¬lated and experimental results reveal that the novel antenna performs well from 5.5 GHz to 7 GHz, and its monostatic RCS is reduced significantly from 5.8 GHz to 7 GHz. The agreement between measured and simulated data validates the present design
