We numerically investigate the pulsating dynamics of pure-quartic solitons (PQSs) in a passively mode-locked fiber laser. The bifurcation diagrams show that the PQS can alternate between the stable single soliton and pulsating regimes multiple times before transiting into the chaotic state. This multi-alternation behavior can be attributed to energy redistribution across the central part and the oscillating tails of the PQS, which is caused by an imperfect counterbalance between self-phase modulation (SPM)-induced and fourth-order dispersion (FOD)-induced phase shifts. Soliton creeping behavior can be observed during the pulsating process, accompanied by periodic asymmetric temporal profiles and central wavelength shifts of the PQS. These findings give new insights into the dynamics of PQSs in fiber lasers.

All cells in an animal collectively ensure, moment-to-moment, the survival of the whole organism in the face of environmental stressors. Physiology seeks to elucidate the intricate network of interactions that sustain life, which often span multiple organs, cell types, and timescales, but a major challenge lies in the inability to simultaneously record time-varying cellular activity throughout the entire body. We developed WHOLISTIC, a method to image second-timescale, time-varying intracellular dynamics across cell-types of the vertebrate body.

However, the fluid dynamic mechanisms by which pulsatile flow influences upper airway pressure remain poorly understood in anatomically realistic geometries. This study used large eddy simulations (LES) to examine pressure and flow characteristics of pulsating nasal jets within a patient-specific upper airway model.

Electrodeposition is a key technique for fabricating ultra-thin copper foils, where grain refinement plays a critical role in determining their mechanical performance. In recent years, the unique cavitation effects associated with ultrasonic fields have demonstrated significant potential in modulating metal deposition. This study quantitatively investigates the influence of ultrasonic amplitude on the nucleation behavior of copper electrodeposited on a Co-Ni alloy substrate.

This paper investigates dynamic pressure waveforms in hydraulic hoses. Steel hoses of various lengths were tested, with the frequency of pressure waves varied for a fixed hose length, and pulsating flow was generated by a positive displacement pump. At certain hose lengths, outlet pressure pulsations were amplified while inlet pulsations were attenuated, demonstrating hydraulic resonance.

This work presents a three-dimensional fully-coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of a pulsing soft coral polyp where the movement of the tentacles is driven by a prescribed active tension during contraction with a passive expansion due to the elastic behavior of the tentacles. The resulting motion of the tentacles is emergent rather than prescribed. This approach allows one to determine how the coral's underlying morphology, mechanics, and neural activation affect its kinematics and the resulting fluid motion, which has implications for soft robotic design.
