We propose to use frequency-selective dissipative coupling to reduce the heat generated by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) reversed cycles in active Raman media with phase mismatch.This is accomplished using a coupled-waveguide structure, which includes the active Raman waveguide (RW), where the Stokes signal undergoes amplification vi
Abstract For singular nonsymmetric saddle-point problems, a shift-splitting preconditioner was studied in (Appl.Math.Comput.269:947-955, 2015).To further show the efficiency of the shift-splitting preconditioner, we provide eigenvalue bounds for the nonzero eigenvalues of the shift-splitting preconditioned singular nonsymmetric saddle-point Amber m

As environmental stress increases positive (facilitative) plant interactions often predominate.Plant-plant associations (or lack thereof) can indicate whether certain plant species favor particular types of microsites (e.g., shrub canopies or plant-free interspaces) and can provide valuable insights into whether "nurse plants" will contribute to se
