These are the notes for a course at the 18th Brazilian School of Probability held from August 3rd to 9th, 2014 in Mambucaba. The aim of the course is to introduce the basic problems of non--linear PDEs with stochastic and irregular terms.…

Lecture Notes for the Les Houches Summer School LXIII on Quantum Fluctuations in July 1995 to appear in Elsevier Science Publishers B.V. 1997, edited by E. Giacobino and S. Reynaud.

This is a set of lecture notes based on the lectures on the formation and evolution of galaxies which were given by S. White at Les Houches in August 1993. This postscript file does not contain the 16 figures. A version containing these…

Despite recent breakthroughs in understanding how protein sequence relates to structure and function, considerably less attention has been paid to the general features of protein surfaces beyond those regions involved in binding and…

These are lecture notes for lectures at the Park City Math Institute, summer 2007. We cover aspects of the dimer model on planar, periodic bipartite graphs, including local statistics, limit shapes and fluctuations.

We present a set of recommendations for the presentation of LHC results on searches for new physics, which are aimed at providing a more efficient flow of scientific information between the experimental collaborations and the rest of the…

Lattice protein models, as the Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model, are a common abstraction to enable exhaustive studies on structure, function, or evolution of proteins. A main issue is the high number of optimal structures, resulting from the…

Atomic packing is an important metric for characterizing protein structures, as it significantly influences various features including the stability, the rate of evolution and the functional roles of proteins. Packing in protein structures…

We present a statistical mechanics treatment of the stability of globular proteins which takes explicitly into account the coupling between the protein and water degrees of freedom. This allows us to describe both the cold and the warm…

Studies of fragmentation and parton density functions are a core component of researchin high energy particle and nuclear physics. These quantities are inherently interestingas a probe of the quantum nature of the strong force and are also…

This is a brief introduction to the theories of Lie groups, algebraic groups and their discrete subgroups, which is based on a lecture series given during the Summer School held in the Banach Centre in Poland in Summer 2011.

We present results of a hole burning study with thermal cycling and waiting time spectral diffusion experiments on a modified cytochrome - c protein in its native as well as in its denatured state. The experiments show features which seem…

Protein-protein interactions (protein functionalities) are mediated by water, which compacts individual proteins and promotes close and temporarily stable large-area protein-protein interfaces. Proteins are peptide chains decorated by amino…

In these lectures presented at Baikal summer school on physics of elementary particles and astrophysics 2011, I present a wide view of neutron star astrophysics with special attention paid to young isolated compact objects and studies of…

Lattice-model simulations and experiments of some small proteins suggest that folding is essentially controlled by a few conserved contacts. Residues of these conserved contacts form the minimum set of native contacts needed to ensure…

We examine the structure and dynamics of small isolated $N$-particle clusters interacting via short-ranged Morse potentials. "Ideally preprared ensembles" obtained via exact enumeration studies of sticky hard sphere packings serve as…

The European School of High-Energy Physics is intended to give young physicists an introduction to the theoretical aspects of recent advances in elementary particle physics. These proceedings contain lecture notes on quantum field theory,…

A learning path on radioactivity in the last class of high school is presented. An introduction to radioactivity and nuclear phenomenology is followed by measurements of natural radioactivity. Background and weak sources are monitored for…

Self-organization is an ubiquitous phenomenon in nature which can be observed in a variety of different contexts and scales, with examples ranging from fish schools, swarms of birds or locusts, to flocks of bacteria. The observation of such…

Active fluids, such as cytoskeletal filaments, bacterial colonies and epithelial cell layers, exhibit distinctive orientational coherence, often characterized by nematic order and topological defects. By contrast, little is known about…
