Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE) is the fundamental equation which describes the wave field envelope dynamics in a nonlinear and dispersive medium. However, if the fields have many components, one should consider the Coupled Nonlinear Schrodinger equation (CNLSE). We considered the interactions of orthogonally polarized and equal-amplitude vec

This study determined the concentration and accumulation pattern of REEs in the soft tissue of Saccostrea cucullata with respect to interspatial variability. Variability in the concentration of REEs in soft tissue of S. cucullata was observed in all samples with significant differences among samples associated with sampling sites (p < 0.05). Th
