Open AccessTime localized tilted beams in nearly-degenerate laser cavities
We show that nearly-degenerate Vertical External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers may emit a set of tilted beams of individually addressable mode-locked pulses. These time localized beams feature a Gaussian prof...

Two aggressive neighbours living peacefully: the nesting association between a stingless bee and the bullet ant
Stingless bees often associate with termites, while association with ants is uncommon due to the high costs related to the aggressiveness of ants. Few combative genera of stingless bees can associate with a la...

Correlation between peak systolic velocity and diameter of cavernosal arteries in flaccid versus dynamic state for the evaluation of erectile dysfunction
Previous studies have suggested that parameters measured in the flaccid state (FS) by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound (PDDU) may predict the outcome after intracavernosal injection (ICI). The aim of this stud...

Vectorial dissipative solitons in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with delays
We show that the nonlinear polarization dynamics of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser placed in an external cavity lead to the emission of temporal dissipative solitons. These are vectorial solitons bec...

Synthetic Cepheid Period–Luminosity and Period–Color Relations in Spitzer’s IRAC Bands
The mid-infrared period–luminosity (P–L) relation for Cepheids will be important in the JWST era, as it holds the promise of deriving the Hubble constant within 2% accuracy. We present the synthetic P–L and perio...

Ultra long period Cepheids: a primary standard candle out to the Hubble flow
The cosmological distance ladder crucially depends on classical Cepheids (with P=3–80 days), which are primary distance indicators up to 33 Mpc. Within this volume, very few SNe Ia have been calibrated through cl...
