The computation of electrical flows is a crucial primitive for many recently proposed optimization algorithms on weighted networks. While typically implemented as a centralized subroutine, the ability to perform this task in a fully…
We study the asymptotic behavior for asymmetric neuronal dynamics in a network of linear Hopfield neurons. The interaction between the neurons is modeled by random couplings which are centered i.i.d. random variables with finite moments of…
Brain rhythms contribute to every aspect of brain function. Here, we study critical and resonance phenomena that precede the emergence of brain rhythms. Using an analytical approach and simulations of a cortical circuit model of neural…
We describe mathematically the apparently paradoxical phenomenon that an electronic current in a semiconductor can flow because of collisions, and not despite them. A transport model of charge transport in a one-dimensional semiconductor…
This is a set of four lectures devoted to simple ideas about turbulent transport, a ubiquitous non-equilibrium phenomenon. In the course similar to that given by the author in 2006 in Warwick [45], we discuss lessons which have been learned…
This paper worked towards modeling blood platelets. Blood platelets, also known as thrombocytes, play a key role in blood clotting which is a vital human function. Furthermore, the role of these entities in strokes, myocardial infarctions,…
We present an experimental study of transition to turbulence in a plane Poiseuille flow. Using a well-controlled perturbation, we analyse the flow using extensive Particule Image Velocimetry and flow visualisation (using Laser Induced…
We model the elasticity of the cerebral cortex as a layered material with bending energy along the layers and elastic energy between them in both planar and polar geometries. The cortex is also subjected to axons pulling from the underlying…
We study numerically and analytically first- and second-order phase transitions in neuronal networks stimulated by shot noise (a flow of random spikes bombarding neurons). Using an exactly solvable cortical model of neuronal networks on…
Transport networks are crucial to the functioning of natural and technological systems. Nature features transport networks that are adaptive over a vast range of parameters, thus providing an impressive level of robustness in supply.…
We numerically study confined channel foam flow around an obstacle using a two-dimensional bubble model, inspired by experiments performed in the same geometry. We systematically vary the polydispersity, the external driving force, and the…
The encapsulation of active particles, such as bacteria or active colloids, inside a droplet gives rise to nontrivial shape dynamics and droplet motility. To understand this behavior, we derive an asymptotic solution for the fluid flow…
The open-system dynamics of entanglement plays an important role in the assessment of the robustness of quantum information processes and also in the investigation of the classical limit of quantum mechanics. Here we show that, subjacent to…
When suspended particles are pushed by liquid flow through a constricted channel they might either pass the bottleneck without trouble or encounter a permanent clog that will stop them forever. However, they may also flow intermittently…
In this article, the dynamics and complexity of a noise induced blood flow system have been investigated. Changes in the dynamics have been recognized by measuring the periodicity over significant parameters. Chaotic as well as non-chaotic…
We study the microscopic time fluctuations of traffic-load and the global statistical properties of a dense traffic of particles on scale-free cyclic graphs. For a wide range of driving rates $R$ the traffic is stationary and the load…
Shear flow of dense, non-Brownian suspensions is simulated using the discrete element method, taking particle contact and hydrodynamic lubrication into account. The resulting flow regimes are mapped in the parametric space of solid volume…
Brain morphology is shaped by genetic and mechanical factors and is linked to biological development and diseases. Its fractal-like features, regional anisotropy, and complex curvature distributions hinder quantitative insights in medical…
The concept of internal anatomical asymmetry is familiar; usually in humans the heart is on the left and the liver is on the right, however how does the developing embryo know to produce this consistent laterality? Symmetry breaking…
In this work we study the asymptotic traffic flow in Gromov's hyperbolic graphs when the traffic decays exponentially with the distance. We prove that under general conditions, there exists a phase transition between local and global…
