Rank-ordered Multifractal Spectrum for Intermittent Fluctuations

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, , , | Summary: We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural […]

A celestial gamma-ray foreground due to the albedo of small solar system bodies and a remote probe of the interstellar cosmic ray spectrum

Kavli Affiliate: Seth W. Digel | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: We calculate the gamma-ray albedo flux from cosmic-ray (CR) interactions with the solid rock and ice in Main Belt asteroids (MBAs), Jovian and Neptunian Trojan asteroids, and Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) using the Moon as a template. We show […]

Nucleosome shape dictates chromatin-fiber structure

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]

Magnetic Flux Diffusion and Expulsion with Thin Conducting Sheets

Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | First 5 Authors: Yao Liu, John Belcher, , , | Summary: We present visualizations of the diffusion and expulsion of magnetic flux for thin conducting sheets, both stationary and moving, including representations of the eddy currents and of the associated magnetic fields. Such visualizations can play an important role in […]
