Journal ArticleDOI
Linear and nonlinear waves
TL;DR: The study of waves can be traced back to antiquity where philosophers, such as Pythagoras, studied the relation of pitch and length of string in musical instruments and the subject of classical acoustics was laid down and presented as a coherent whole by John William Strutt in his treatise Theory of Sound.
Book
The Numerical Method of Lines: Integration of Partial Differential Equations
TL;DR: The Laplacian Operator in Various Coordinate Systems and some Applications of the Numerical Method of Lines are described, as well as some applications of the ODE and ODE/PDE Applications.
Book
A Compendium of Partial Differential Equation Models: Method of Lines Analysis with Matlab
TL;DR: This book uniquely includes a detailed line-by-line discussion of computer code as related to the associated equations of the PDE model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial differential equation
TL;DR: In mathematics, partial differential equations (PDE) are a type of differential equation, i.e., a relation involving an unknown function (or functions) of several independent variables and their partial derivatives with respect to those variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-driven translocation of signaling proteins in vertebrate photoreceptors
Peter D. Calvert,Katherine J. Strissel,William E. Schiesser,Edward N. Pugh,Vadim Y. Arshavsky +4 more
TL;DR: Evidence that intracellular protein translocation contributes to adaptation of photoreceptors to diurnal changes in ambient light intensity is discussed and the current debate on whether it is driven by diffusion or molecular motors is summarized.
