How systems transit between different stable states under external perturbation is an important practical issue. We discuss here how a recently developed energy optimization method for identifying the minimal disturbance ...

We study orbital evolution of multi-planet systems with masses in the terrestrial planet regime induced through tidal interaction with a protoplanetary disk assuming that this is the dominant mechanism for producing orbital ...

ATLAS recently reported a 3σ excess in a leptonic-Z+E_T^miss channel. This was interpreted in the literature in a simplified general gauge mediation model containing a gluino, a Higgsino next-to-lightest supersymmetric ...

In this thesis, higher derivative theories and constrained dynamics are investigated in detail. In the first part of the thesis, we discuss how the Ostrogradski instability emerges in non-degenerate higher derivative ...

Active fluids are a class of nonequilibrium systems where energy is injected into the system continuously by the constituent particles themselves. Many examples, such as bacterial suspensions and actomyosin networks, are ...

We study the fluid mechanics of removing a passive tracer contained in small, viscous drops attached to a flat inclined substrate using thin gravity-driven film flows. A convective mass transfer establishes across the ...

Aims. We present a thorough investigation of the cool and hot temperature components in four recurring active region jets observed on July 10, 2015 using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), X-ray Telescope (XRT), and ...

Cilia and flagella often exhibit synchronized behavior; this includes phase-locking, as seen in Chlamydomonas, and metachronal wave formation in the respiratory cilia of higher organisms. Since the observations by Gray and ...

Many cells contain non-centrosomal arrays of microtubules (MTs), but the assembly, organisation and function of these arrays are poorly understood. We present the first theoretical model for the non-centrosomal MT cytoskeleton ...

We study the cosmological effects of adding terms of higher-order in the usual energy-momentum tensor to the matter lagrangian of general relativity. This is in contrast to most studies of higher-order gravity which focus ...

In the cosmological scenario in $\small \textit{f(T)}$ gravity, we find analytical solutions for an isotropic and homogeneous universe containing a dust fluid and radiation and for an empty anisotropic Bianchi I universe. ...

In a homogeneous and isotropic universe with nonzero spatial curvature we consider the effects of gravitational particle production in the dynamics of the universe. We show that the dynamics of the universe in such a ...

We determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson scattering in P-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD with light quark masses such that m_π = 236 MeV in a cubic volume ...

We present the first lattice QCD study of coupled-channel $\textit{Dπ}$, $\textit{Dη}$ and $\textit{D$_{s}$$\bar K$}$ scattering in isospin-1/2 in three partial waves. Using distillation, we compute matrices of correlation ...

We investigate the behavior of bouncing Bianchi type IX “mixmaster” universes in general relativity. This generalizes all previous studies of the cyclic behavior of closed spatially homogeneous universes with and without ...

Abstract Background High-throughput measurement of allele-specific expression (ASE) is a relatively new and exciting application area for array-based technologies. In this paper, we explore several data sets which make use ...

In his 2005 review, $\textit{Gravity and the Thermodynamics of Horizons}$, Paddy suggested that a vacuum in thermal equilibrium with a bath of radiation should have a gradually diminishing energy. We work through the ...

The intensity of the O IV 2s$^{2}$ 2p $^{2}$P-2s2p$^{2}$ $^{4}$P and S IV 3 s$^{2}$ 3p $^{2}$P- 3s 3p$^{2}$ $^{4}$ P intercombination lines around 1400 Å observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) provide ...

Using two-dimensional direct numerical simulations, we investigate the flow in a fluid of kinematic viscosity ν and density ρ around elliptical foils of density ρ_s with major axis c and minor axis b for three different ...
