Quasicrystal kirigami

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Lucy Liu, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Kirigami, the art of introducing cuts in thin sheets to enable articulation and deployment, has become an inspiration for a novel class of mechanical metamaterials with unusual properties. Here we complement the use of periodic tiling […]

Inferring simple but precise quantitative models of human oocyte and early embryo development

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Brian D Leahy, Catherine Racowsky, Daniel Needleman, , | Summary: Macroscopic, phenomenological models have proven useful as concise framings of our understandings in fields from statistical physics to economics to biology. Constructing a phenomenological model for development would provide a framework for understanding the complicated, regulatory nature […]

Cascades and Reconnection in Interacting Vortex Filaments

Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Rodolfo Ostilla-Mónico, Ryan McKeown, Michael P. Brenner, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Alain Pumir | Summary: At high Reynolds number, the interaction between two vortex tubes leads to intense velocity gradients, which are at the heart of fluid turbulence. This vorticity amplification comes about through two different instability […]

Automated Insulin Delivery for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Patients using Gaussian Process-based Model Predictive Control

Kavli Affiliate: Francis J. Doyle | First 5 Authors: Lukas Ortmann, Dawei Shi, Eyal Dassau, Francis J. Doyle III, Berno J. E. Misgeld | Summary: The human insulin-glucose metabolism is a time-varying process, which is partly caused by the changing insulin sensitivity of the body. This insulin sensitivity follows a circadian rhythm and its effects […]

A transport approach to relate asymmetric protein segregation and population growth

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Jiseon Min, Ariel Amir, , , | Summary: Many unicellular organisms allocate their key proteins asymmetrically between the mother and daughter cells, especially in a stressed environment. A recent theoretical model is able to predict when the asymmetry in segregation of key proteins enhances the population fitness, […]
