Nano-shaping of chiral photons by Sunaba Yuji, Ide Masaki, Takei Ryo, Sakai Kyosuke, Pin Christophe, Sasaki Keiji

“…Theoretically, the ultimate enhancement might be achieved by reducing the “photon size” to the molecular extinction cross-section. In addition, desired control of electronic transitions in molecules can be realized if the “photon shape” can be manipulated on a single-nanometer scale. …”

On the stability of periodic solutions in the perturbed chemostat by Frédéric Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Patrick D. Leenheer

“…Thisis significant because it reproduces the realistic ecologicalsituation where the species and substrate concentrations oscillate.We show that the stability is maintained when the model is augmentedby additional species that are being driven to extinction. We alsogive an input-to-state stability result for the chemostat-trackingequations for cases where there are small perturbations acting onthe dilution rate and initial concentration. …”

Electrical Stimulation of the Ear, Head, Cranial Nerve, or Cortex for the Treatment of Tinnitus: A Scoping Review by Derek J. Hoare, Peyman Adjamian, Magdalena Sereda

“…This change in activity should alter or interrupt the tinnitus percept (reduction or extinction) making it less bothersome. Here we review developments in therapies involving electrical stimulation of the ear, head, cranial nerve, or cortex in the treatment of tinnitus which demonstrably, or are hypothesised to, interrupt pathological neuronal activity in the cortex associated with tinnitus.…”
