Stabilization of high-order solutions of the cubic Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation
In this paper we consider the stabilization of non-fundamental unstable
stationary solutions of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation. Specifically
we study the stabilization of radially symmetric solutions with nodes and
asymmetric complex stationary solutions. For the first ones we find partial
stabilization similar to that recently found for vortex solutions while for the
later ones stabilization does not seem possible
Neurenteric cyst at the dorsal craniocervical junction in a child: Case report
Neurenteric cysts, also known as enterogenous cysts, are uncommon, benign, congenital lesions that usually occur in the posterior mediastinum but can be seen at any level of the neuraxis. Here, we report a pediatric patient with a neurenteric cyst in the dorsal craniocervical junction as the only third reported pediatric case in the literature in this rare location, and describe the clinical course and pathologic findings with a review of the literature on this rare entity
Expecting the Unexpected: Radiation Hardened Software
Radiation induced Single Event Effects (SEEs) are a serious problem for spacecraft flight software, potentially leading to a complete loss of mission. Conventional risk mitigation has been focused on hardware, leading to slow, expensive and outdated on-board computing devices, increased power consumption and launch mass. Our approach is to look at SEEs from a software perspective, and to explicitly design flight software so that it can detect and correct the majority of SEES. Radiation hardened flight software will reduce the significant residual residual risk for critical missions and flight phases, and enable more use of inexpensive and fast COTS hardware
