Article Abstract
The self-organization of structures in a tokamak plasma as it undergoes an [Formula: see text]-mode transition shows properties similar to simpler shear flow configurations. We will describe recent dynamical studies of plasma shear flows, including the idea of tracking the edge of chaos that separates two bistable states, computing the nonlinear minimal seed that can lead to turbulence, finding the attractor solution on the edge and seeing how starting from this solution we can understand the stability of relative period orbits that permeate the turbulent basin of attraction. We present a modus operandi developed for these simple configurations that can be adapted to understand the [Formula: see text]-mode transition. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'H-mode transition and pedestal studies in fusion plasmas'.

The ability to convert the spatial mode of single photons opens up a promising path to enhancing quantum communication protocols by enabling high-dimensional encoding and efficient multiplexing. In this work, we demonstrate spatial mode conversion of single photons at 1550.6 nm using a fiber long-period grating (LPG).

We report an intriguing anomalous behavior observed in the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of mono-, bi-, and trilayer molybdenum disulfide samples with sulfur vacancies, measured at high temperatures ranging from room temperature to 463 K. In contrast to existing reports, we observed a decrease in the FWHM of the A[Formula: see text] phonon mode, along with an increase in the relative intensity of the A[Formula: see text] mode to the E[Formula: see text] mode, as the temperature increased. This trend becomes less prominent as the layer number increases from monolayer, disappearing entirely in few-layer samples.

We present an experimental and two-phase computational study of convection in a liquid bridge ([Formula: see text]) that develops under the action of a parallel gas flow. The study focuses on tracking the evolution of hydrothermal waves by increasing the applied temperature difference [Formula: see text] and the temperature of gas moving at the velocity [Formula: see text]. Our experiments revealed certain regularity in the change of oscillatory states with an increase in the control parameters.

In this work, a three-dimensional model was developed to describe the passive mechanical behaviour of anisotropic skeletal muscle tissue. To validate the model, orientation-dependent axial ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and semi-confined compression experiments (mode I, II, III) were performed on soleus muscle tissue from rabbits. In the latter experiments, specimen deformation is prescribed in the loading direction and prevented in an additional spatial direction, fibre compression at [Formula: see text] (mode I), fibre elongation at [Formula: see text] (mode II) and a neutral state of the fibres at [Formula: see text] where their length is kept constant (mode III).
