Spontaneous Flow Transitions in Active Polar Gels
(2011-11-21)Active polar gels are a type of viscoelastic soft material formed by polar filaments which are constantly driven out of equilibrium by the consumption of chemical fuel such as ATP. Following the approach of Voituriez et ...

Stochastic Modelling Of A Chemotactic Microswimmer
(2011-11-23)Key to Escherichia coli (E-coli) bacteria survival is its ability to direct its movement to greener pasture and flee harmful environment - also known as chemotaxis. This thesis focuses on the modelling of E-coli chemotaxis ...

Synthesis Of The Conventional Phenomenological Theories With Marginal Fermi Liquid Model
(2011-11-23)The high temperature superconducting cuprates show some non Fermi liquid behaviour in their normal state. Also there is no generally accepted theory of high temperature superconductivity. The BCS theory has failed to ...
