  • Mathematical imaging methods for mitosis analysis in live-cell phase contrast microscopy 

    Grah, Joana Sarah; Harrington, JA; Koh, SB; Pike, JA; Schreiner, A; Burger, M; Schönlieb, Carola-Bibiane; Reichelt, S (ElsevierMethods, 2017-02-15)
    In this paper we propose a workflow to detect and track mitotic cells in time-lapse microscopy image sequences. In order to avoid the requirement for cell lines expressing fluorescent markers and the associated phototoxicity, ...

  • On the equal-mass limit of precessing black-hole binaries 

    Gerosa, D; Sperhake, Ulrich; Vošmera, J (Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-03-23)
    We analyze the inspiral dynamics of equal-mass precessing black-hole binaries using multi-timescale techniques. The orbit-averaged post-Newtonian evolutionary equations admit two constants of motion in the equal-mass limit, ...

  • Using inpainting to construct accurate cut-sky CMB estimators 

    Gruetjen, HF; Fergusson, James Robert; Liguori, M; Shellard, Edward Paul (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2017-02-23)
    The direct evaluation of manifestly optimal, cut-sky cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum and bispectrum estimators is numerically very costly, due to the presence of inverse-covariance filtering operations. ...

  • Coherent structures in interacting vortex rings 

    Deng, J; Xue, J; Mao, X; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-02-21)
    We investigate experimentally the nonlinear structures that develop from interacting vortex rings induced by a sinusoidally oscillating ellipsoidal disk in fluid at rest. We vary the scaled amplitude or Keulegan-Carpenter ...

  • Dynamical α-cluster model of $^{16}$O 

    Halcrow, CJ; King, C; Manton, Nicholas Stephen (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review C, 2017-03-09)
    We calculate the low-lying spectrum of the $^{16}$O nucleus using an α-cluster model which includes the important tetrahedral and square configurations. Our approach is motivated by the dynamics of α-particle scattering ...

  • Autophoretic flow on a torus 

    Schmieding, LC; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Montenegro-Johnson, TD (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Fluids, 2017-03-02)
    Phoretic swimmers provide new avenues to study nonequilibrium statistical physics and are also hailed as a promising technology for bioengineering at the cellular scale. Exact solutions for the locomotion of such swimmers ...

  • Torsional Alfvén resonances as an efficient damping mechanism for non-radial oscillations in red giant stars 

    Loi, ST; Papaloizou, John Christopher (Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017-06-01)
    Stars are self-gravitating fluids in which pressure, buoyancy, rotation and magnetic fields provide the restoring forces for global modes of oscillation. Pressure and buoyancy energetically dominate, while rotation and ...

  • Towards radiative transitions in charmonium 

    O'Hara, C; Ryan, SM; Moir, Graham; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science, 2016-01-01)
    We present preliminary calculations towards radiative transitions in charmonium using anisotropic $\textit{Nf}$=2+1 dynamical ensembles generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. With the use of newer technologies we ...

  • Charmonium and charmed meson spectroscopy from lattice QCD 

    Tims, D; Cheung, Gavin; O’Hara, C; Moir, Graham; Peardon, M; Ryan, SM; Thomas, Christopher Edward (Proceedings of Science34th annual International Symposium on Lattice Field Theoryhttps://pos.sissa.it/cgi-bin/reader/contribution.cgi?id=256/137, 2017-01-25)
    Spectra of highly excited hidden and open-charm mesons calculated on dynamical lattice QCD ensembles with a pion mass of M$_{π}$ $\sim$ 240 MeV are presented and compared to previous results obtained on a lattice where ...

  • Integrable Abelian vortex-like solitons 

    Contatto, Felipe (ElsevierPhysics Letters B, 2017-05-10)
    We propose a modified version of the Ginzburg–Landau energy functional admitting static solitons and determine all the Painlevé-integrable cases of its Bogomolny equations of a given class of models. Explicit solutions are ...

  • On Multi-Level Thinking and Scientific Understanding 

    McIntyre, Michael Edgeworth (SpringerSpringerAdvances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2017-10)
    Professor Duzheng YE’s name has been familiar to me ever since my postdoctoral years at MIT with Professors Jule CHARNEY and Norman PHILLIPS, back in the late 1960s. I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Professor YE ...

  • Theory of Shape-Shifting Droplets 

    Haas, Pierre; Goldstein, Raymond Ethan; Smoukov, Stoyan Kostadinov; Cholakova, D; Denkov, N (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2017-02-24)
    Recent studies of cooled oil emulsion droplets uncovered transformations into a host of flattened shapes with straight edges and sharp corners, driven by a partial phase transition of the bulk liquid phase. Here, we explore ...

  • Clustering instability of focused swimmers 

    Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie; Nadal, F (IOP PublishingEurophysics Letters, 2017-02-09)
    One of the hallmarks of active matter is its rich nonlinear dynamics and instabilities. Recent numerical simulations of phototactic algae showed that a thin jet of swimmers, obtained from hydrodynamic focusing inside a ...

  • Einstein–Weyl spaces and near-horizon geometry 

    Dunajski, Maciej Lukasz; Gutowski, J; Sabra, W (IOP PublishingClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2017-02-02)
    We show that a class of solutions of minimal supergravity in five dimensions is given by lifts of three-dimensional Einstein–Weyl structures of hyper-CR type. We characterise this class as most general near-horizon limits ...

  • Nonthermal fixed points in quantum field theory beyond the weak-coupling limit 

    Berges, J; Wallisch, Benjamin (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2017-02-22)
    Quantum systems in extreme conditions can exhibit universal behavior far from equilibrium associated to nonthermal fixed points with a wide range of topical applications from early-Universe inflaton dynamics and heavy-ion ...

  • Geometric tuning of self-propulsion for Janus catalytic particles 

    Michelin, S; Lauga, Eric Jean-Marie (Nature Publishing GroupScientific Reports, 2017-02-13)
    Catalytic swimmers have attracted much attention as alternatives to biological systems for examining collective microscopic dynamics and the response to physico-chemical signals. Yet, understanding and predicting even the ...

  • Tropical Amplitudes 

    Tourkine, Piotr
    In this work, we argue that the α′→0 limit of closed string theory scattering amplitudes is a tropical limit. The motivation is to develop a technology to systematize the extraction of Feynman graphs from string theory ...

  • More Abelian dualities in 2 + 1 dimensions 

    Karch, A; Robinson, B; Tong, David (SpringerJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017-01-01)

    Papagiannopoulos, G; Barrow, John David; Basilakos, S; Giacomini, A; Paliathanasis, A (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2017-01-20)
    In the context of generalized Brans-Dicke cosmology we use the Killing tensors of the minisuperspace in order to determine the unspecified potential of a scalar-tensor gravity theory. Specifically, based on the existence ...

  • Non-diagonal four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics in various signatures 

    Dunajski, Maciej Lukasz; Tod, P (ElsevierDifferential Geometry and its Application, 2016-11-11)
    Most known four-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Einstein metrics are diagonal in a basis defined by the left-invariant one-forms, though some essentially non-diagonal ones are known. We consider the problem of explicitly ...
