A priori bounds for rough differential equations with a non-linear damping term
We consider a rough differential equation with a non-linear damping drift term: dY(t)=−|Y|m−1Y(t)dt+σ(Y(t))dX(t), where X is a branched rough path of arbitrary regularity α>0, m>1 and where σ is smooth and satisfies an m...

Charge transport in cancer-related genes and early carcinogenesis
The electronic transmission properties of DNA molecules are believed to play a significant role in many physical phenomena taking place in living organisms (Chakraborty, 2007) [1]. Here we study the charge transport (CT)...
Characterization of a hollow core fibre-coupled near field terahertz probe
We describe the design and performance of a freely positionable THz near field probe based on a hollow core photonic crystal fibre-coupled photoconducting dipole antenna with an integrated sub-wavelength aperture. Experimental...
