Nonlinear Anti-(Parity-Time) Symmetric Dimer

In the present work we propose a nonlinear anti-PT-symmetric dimer, that at the linear level has been experimentally created in the realm of electric circuit resonators.We find four families of solutions, the so-called upper and lower branches, both in a symmetric and in an asymmetric (symmetry-broken) form.We unveil analytically and confirm numeri

A procedure to analyze the viability of rainwater harvesting systems in urban areas based on pre-defined diagrams

ABSTRACT Giving some specific precipitation regimes and technical design parameters, urban Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RWHS) may represent an alternative source to drinking water supply system promoting its conservation and rational use.The use of RWHS requires the definition of generic and simplified method for sizing RWHS accumulation tanks, wh

Prediction and validation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR): a step toward development of nano-biofertilizers

Several soil microbes are present in the rhizosphere zone, especially plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which are best known for their plant growth promoting activities.The present study reflects the effect of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) at various concentrations on the growth of PGPR.GNPs were synthesized chemically, by reduction of HAuCl
