# gst: apropos of weakly coupled oscillators, a new approach to depict about their spontaneous stochastic activities

<<  Many systems in physics, chemistry and biology exhibit oscillations with a pronounced random component. Such stochastic oscillations can emerge via different mechanisms, for example linear dynamics of a stable focus with fluctuations, limit-cycle systems perturbed by noise, or excitable systems in which random inputs lead to a train of pulses. Despite their diverse origins, the phenomenology of random oscillations can be strikingly similar. >>

<< Here (AA) introduce a nonlinear transformation of stochastic oscillators to a new complex-valued function Q∗1(x) that greatly simplifies and unifies the mathematical description of the oscillator's spontaneous activity, its response to an external time-dependent perturbation, and the correlation statistics of different oscillators that are weakly coupled. >>

AA << approach makes qualitatively different stochastic oscillators comparable, provides simple characteristics for the coherence of the random oscillation, and gives a framework for the description of weakly coupled oscillators. >>️

# gst: apropos of oscillations, viscous streaming around an immersed microfeature (e.g. a bubble)

<< Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature, typically a solid body or a bubble. The ability of such features to locally concentrate stresses produces strong inertial effects to which both fluid and immersed particles respond within short length (O(100) microns) and time (milliseconds) scales, rendering viscous streaming arguably the most efficient mechanism to exploit inertia at the microscale. >>️

(AA) << demonstrate that a multi-curvature approach in viscous streaming dramatically extends the range of accessible flow topologies. (They) show that numerically predicted, but never experimentally observed, streaming flows can be physically reproduced, computationally engineered, and in turn used to enhance particle manipulation, filtering and separation in compact, robust, tunable and inexpensive devices. >>️

# geo: apropos of oscillations, a 'true polar wander' (TPW); Earth tip on its side 84 Ma ago.

<< It has been debated for the past few decades whether the outer, solid shell of the Earth can wobble about, or even tip over relative to the spin axis. Such a shift of Earth is called "true polar wander," (TPW) but the evidence for this process has been contentious. New research (..) provides some of the most convincing evidence to date that such planetary tipping has indeed occurred in Earth's past. >>️

# gst: stochastic resonance mediated by optimal noise level values; transport of colloidal particles induced by substrate concentration oscillations.

AA << show the existence of a  stochastic resonant regime in the transport of active colloidal particles under confinement. The periodic addition of substrate to the system causes the spectral amplification to exhibit a maximum for an optimal noise level value. The consequence of this is that particles can travel longer distances with lower fuel consumption. The stochastic resonance phenomenon found allows the identification of optimal scenarios for the transport of active particles, enabling them to reach regions that are otherwise difficult to access, and may therefore find applications in transport. >>️

# gst: apropos of vibrating pivots, driving a damped coplanar double pendulum.

AA << present results of linear and nonlinear motions of a parametrically driven coplanar double pendulum with velocity-dependent damping. The equations of motion of a damped double pendulum of unequal masses with its pivot vibrated vertically are different from those obtained under gravity modulation. 

Linear stability analysis shows that tongue-shaped marginal stability curves divide the plane of driving parameters into multiple regions of subharmonic and harmonic instabilities. The instability zones for one normal mode overlap with those for the other. 

The double pendulum may oscillate or rotate about its pivot harmonically or subharmonically. The limit cycles corresponding to the normal mode oscillations of a double pendulum of equal masses are squeezed into a line in its configuration space. 

For unequal masses, two marginal curves for subharmonic instabilities merge to form a double-well shaped curve in the presence of damping, which is qualitatively new. The pendulum shows driving amplitude sensitive multi-period complex oscillations for driving parameters near the extrema of the merged instability zones and boundaries of the overlapping zones. 

For larger driving amplitude, the pendulum shows subharmonic, harmonic or chaotic rotations. >>

The levitator is enclosed within a pressure-compatible process chamber to enable control of the environmental conditions. The merging technique permits precise control of the substances affecting the chemical reactions, the sample temperature, the volumes of the liquid reactants down to the picoliter range, and the mixing locations in space and time. >>

It is precisely this effect that creates those fascinating wave patterns.

# gst: even a tiny noise could self-induce new chimera patterns through stochastic resonance

<< Noise induced order in excitable systems has diverse manifestations, such as coherence resonance (CR) and stochastic resonance. In this context a less explored phenomenon is self-induced stochastic resonance (SISR). Unlike CR, SISR may arise away from the bifurcation threshold and the properties of the induced oscillations depend upon both the noise intensity and the time-scale separation factor. In this work, (AA) report a new chimera pattern in a network of coupled excitable units, namely the self-induced stochastic resonance chimera or SISR-chimera that originates from the SISR phenomenon. (AA) explore the detailed dynamics of the SISR-chimera in the parameter space using proper quantitative measures. (AA) have found that unlike CR chimera, the SISR-chimera pattern strongly depends upon the ratio of time scale and noise intensity. Therefore, this type of chimera pattern can be induced even for a tiny noise intensity if the time scale separation of the activator and inhibitor is large enough. >>️
