Mechanisms of evolution of avalanches in regular graphs Author(s): Thomas P. Handford, Francisco J. Pérez-Reche, and Sergei N. TaraskinA mapping of avalanches occurring in the zero-temperature random-field Ising model to life periods of a population experi …
Exact solutions for discrete breathers in a forced-damped chain Author(s): O. V. GendelmanExact solutions for symmetric on-site discrete breathers (DBs) are obtained in a forced-damped linear chain with on-site vibro-impact constraints. The damping in the system i …
Oscillatory motions of an active deformable particle Author(s): Mitsusuke Tarama and Takao OhtaWe investigate dynamics of an active particle in which shape deformations occur spontaneously. In two dimensions, the deformations are expanded in terms of th …
Nature of laminar-turbulence intermittency in shear flows Author(s): M. Avila and B. HofIn pipe, channel, and boundary layer flows turbulence first occurs intermittently in space and time: at moderate Reynolds numbers domains of disordered turbulent motion a …
Glassy behavior of two-dimensional stripe-forming systems Author(s): Ana C. Ribeiro Teixeira, Daniel A. Stariolo, and Daniel G. BarciWe study two-dimensional frustrated but nondisordered systems applying a replica approach to a stripe-forming model with comp …
DNA-programmed mesoscopic architecture Author(s): Jonathan D. Halverson and Alexei V. TkachenkoWe study the problem of the self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) into finite mesoscopic structures with a programmed local morphology and comple …
Photodynamics of stress in clamped nematic elastomers Author(s): Miloš Knežević, Mark Warner, Martin Čopič, and Antoni Sánchez-FerrerWe describe the complex time dependence of the buildup of force exerted by a clamped photoelastomer under illumination. N …
Caveats in modeling a common motif in genetic circuits Author(s): Darka Labavić, Hannes Nagel, Wolfhard Janke, and Hildegard Meyer-OrtmannsFrom a coarse-grained perspective, the motif of a self-activating species, activating a second species that acts as …
Information sharing and sorting in a community Author(s): Biplab Bhattacherjee, S. S. Manna, and Animesh MukherjeeWe present the results of a detailed numerical study of a model for the sharing and sorting of information in a community consisting …
Swimming of a model ciliate near an air-liquid interface Author(s): S. Wang and A. M. ArdekaniIn this work, the role of the hydrodynamic forces on a swimming microorganism near an air-liquid interface is studied. The lubrication theory is utilized to analyz …
