   Abstract = {We investigate Fano-type anomalous transmission of energy of
             plane waves across lossless slab scatterers with periodic
             structure in the presence of non-robust guided modes. Our
             approach is based on rigorous analytic perturbation of the
             scattering problem near a guided mode and applies to very
             general structures, continuous and discrete.},

   Title = {Resiliency, coordination, and synchronization of dorsal
             closure during Drosophila morphogenesis},
   Journal = {Biophysical Journal},
   Volume = {92},
   Pages = {2583-2596},
   Year = {2007},
   Month = {April},
   Abstract = {Tissue dynamics during dorsal closure, a stage of Drosophila
             development, provide a model system for cell sheet
             morphogenesis and wound healing. Dorsal closure is
             characterized by complex cell sheet movements, driven by
             multiple tissue specific forces, which are coordinated in
             space, synchronized in time, and resilient to UV-laser
             perturbations. The mechanisms responsible for these
             attributes are not fully understood. We measured spatial,
             kinematic, and dynamic antero-posterior asymmetries to
             biophysically characterize both resiliency to laser
             perturbations and failure of closure in mutant embryos and
             compared them to natural asymmetries in unperturbed,
             wild-type closure. We quantified and mathematically modeled
             two processes that are upregulated to provide
             resiliency.contractility of the amnioserosa and formation of
             a seam between advancing epidermal sheets, i.e., zipping.
             Both processes are spatially removed from the laser-targeted
             site, indicating they are not a local response to
             laser-induced wounding and suggesting mechanosensitive
             and/or chemosensitive mechanisms for upregulation. In mutant
             embryos, tissue junctions initially fail at the anterior end
             indicating inhomogeneous mechanical stresses attributable to
             head involution, another developmental process that occurs
             concomitant with the end stages of closure. Asymmetries in
             these mutants are reversed compared to wild-type, and
             inhomogeneous stresses may cause asymmetries in wild-type
             closure.},

   Abstract = {The long-time asymptotics of two colliding plane waves
             governed by the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation are
             analyzed via the inverse scattering method. We find three
             asymptotic regions in space-time: a region with the original
             wave modified by a phase perturbation, a residual region
             with a one-phase wave, and an intermediate transition region
             with a modulated two-phase wave. The leading-order terms for
             the three regions arecomputedwith error estimates using the
             steepest-descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems. The
             nondecaying initial data requires a new adaptation of this
             method. A new breaking mechanisminvolvingacomplexconjugatepairofbranch
             points emerging from the real axis is observed between the
             residual and transition regions. Also, the effect of the
             collision is felt in the plane-wave state well beyond the
             shock fr ont at large times.},

   Abstract = {In a previous paper [13] we calculated the leading-order
             term q0(x,t,) of the solution of q(x,t,), the focusing
             nonlinear (cubic) Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the
             semiclassical limit ( 0) for a certain one-parameter family
             of initial conditions. This family contains both solitons
             and pure radiation. In the pure radiation case, our result
             is valid for all times t 0. The aim of the present paper is
             to calculate the long-term behavior of the semiclassical
             solution q(x,t,) in the pure radiation case. As before, our
             main tool is the Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) formulation
             of the inverse scattering problem and the corresponding
             system of moment and integral conditions, known also as a
             system of modulation equations.},

   Abstract = {We derive a determinant formula for the WKB exponential of
             singularly perturbed Zakharov-Shabat system that corresponds
             to the semiclassical (zero dispersion) limit of the focusing
             Nonlinear Schr\" odinger equation. The derivation is based
             on the Riemann-Hilbert Problem (RHP) representation of the
             WKB exponential. We also prove its independence of the
             branchpoints of the corresponding hyperelliptic surface
             assuming that the modulation equations are
             satisfied.},

   Abstract = {We study theoretically the propagation of a step-modulated
             optical field as it passes through a dispersive dielectric
             using two different approximate methods: an asymptotic
             approach and a method that assumes a slowly-varying field
             envelope. By improving the accuracy of the asymptotic
             approach soitis valid over a wider range ofparameters, we
             show thatthe two methods makeidentical predictions.
             Wedemonstratethatprecursors canpersistfor many nanoseconds
             and the chirp inthe instantaneous frequency of the precurors
             can manifest in beats in the transmitted intensity. Our work
             strongly suggests that precursors have been observed in many
             previous experiments.},
