TL;DR: In this article, a method for obtaining traveling-wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations that are essentially of a localized nature is proposed based on the fact that most solutions are functions of a hyperbolic tangent.
Abstract: A method is proposed for obtaining traveling‐wave solutions of nonlinear wave equations that are essentially of a localized nature. It is based on the fact that most solutions are functions of a hyperbolic tangent. This technique is straightforward to use and only minimal algebra is needed to find these solutions. The method is applied to selected cases.

TL;DR: It is shown that the polarization states of electromagnetic waves can be manipulated through reflections by an anisotropic metamaterial plate, and all possible polarizations are realizable via adjusting material parameters.
Abstract: We show that the polarization states of electromagnetic waves can be manipulated through reflections by an anisotropic metamaterial plate, and all possible polarizations (circular, elliptic, and linear) are realizable via adjusting material parameters. In particular, a linearly polarized light converts its polarization completely to the cross direction after reflection under certain conditions. Microwave experiments were performed to successfully realize these ideas and results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

TL;DR: The characteristic value of the electromagnetic field intensity in quantum electrodynamics is studied and presented in this paper, where general remarks are given on processes in an intense electromagnetic field and their description is detailed.
Abstract: The characteristic value of the electromagnetic field intensity in quantum electrodynamics is studied and presented. General remarks are given on processes in an intense electromagnetic field and their description is detailed. Photon emission by electron in the field of an intense electromagnetic wave and pair production by a photon in the field of an intense electromagnetic wave are discussed. The authors examine shift and splitting of the atomic level by electromagnetic wave fields. Radiative corrections are presented.
