We establish the most general form of the discrete elasticity of a two-dimensional triangular lattice embedded in three dimensions, taking into account up to next-nearest-neighbour interactions. Besides crystalline system, this is relevant to biological physics (e.g. red blood cell cytoskeleton) and soft matter (e.g. percolating gels, etc.). In order to correctly impose the rotational invariance of the bulk terms, it turns out to be necessary to take into account explicitly the elasticity associated with the vertices located at the edges of the lattice. We find that some terms that were suspected in the literature to violate rotational symmetry are, in fact, admissible.

In this paper we design a two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal based biosensor implemented by linear waveguide and nanocavity detection in malaria. The bio molecules such as a red blood cell, infected red blood cell, trapped inside the nanocavity cause transmission shift at the output terminal.  The sensing mechanism of biosensor is change in refractive index of analytes. The layout biosensor is consists a linear waveguide with a nanocavity in square symmetry For the proposed photonic based biosensor, the band gap from 2210nm to 1420 nm and input wavelength of 1550nm are used in this design. The simulation results have analysed by using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, bandgap calculation is performed using plane wave expansion method.


The stability of plane Couette flow with a heated lower plate is considered with respect to a two-dimensional infinitesimal disturbance. The eigenvalues are found with the aid of a digital computer as the latent roots of a matrix. Neutral stability curves for various Prandtl numbers at Reynolds numbers up to 150 are obtained by a second method. It is found that the principle of the exchange of stabilities does not hold for this problem. With the aid of Squire’s transformation the conclusion is drawn that all fluids will become unstable at the same value of the Rayleigh number irrespective of whether shear is present or not.
