This paper presents an empirical investigation of socio-economic resilience to natural disasters of a tropical cyclone-prone coastal community in Bangladesh. It applies the state-and-transition model, a widely used applied ecology model, to (1) assess the current state of socio-economic...

Stimulated emission in the Nd:YAG laser with a saturable absorber Cr:YAG is modelled as a superposition of interacting optical modes which are stable in a given optical cavity. The interaction of the active laser crystal and a passive Q-switch with diode pump and optical cavity modes is modelled...
