We demonstrate that flat-topped dissipative solitonic pulses, platicons, and corresponding frequency combs can be excited in optical microresonators with normal group velocity dispersion using either amplitude modulation of the pump or bichromatic pump.

Although paramagnetic, this species is unlikely to be detected by epr because of (1) zerofold splitting of the S = 2 ground state, which shifts allowed transitions to inaccessible magnetic fields and (2) unusually short spin-lattice relaxation times.

But that was only the start, because the Fletchers - (obviously) carrying two torpedo launchers - were only launching half-salvos, so one full wave of torpedoes had driven off the cruisers after having savaged the destroyers, aaand then it was a case of, well, here come twenty-five destroyers, here comes two hundred and fifty torpedoes, hello Japanese battleships, dodge this!
