The Kinematics of Plant Nutation Reveals a Simple Relation between Curvature and the Orientation of Differential Growth
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Nutation is an oscillatory movement that plants display during their development. Despite its ubiquity among plants movements, the relation between the observed movement and the underlying biological mechanisms remains ... -
Modeling the Role of Networks and Individual Differences in Inter-Group Violence
(Public Library of Science, 2016)There is significant heterogeneity within and between populations in their propensity to engage in conflict. Most research has neglected the role of within-group effects in social networks in contributing to between-group ... -
Peridynamic Modeling of Ruptures in Biomembranes
(Public Library of Science, 2016)We simulate the formation of spontaneous ruptures in supported phospholipid double bilayer membranes, using peridynamic modeling. Experiments performed on spreading double bilayers typically show two distinct kinds of ...
