The dynamics of a population undergoing selection is a central topic in evolutionary biology. This question is particularly intriguing in the case where selective forces act in opposing directions at two population scales. For example, a fa...

Vesicles are membrane-bound structures commonly known for their roles in cellular transport and the shape of a vesicle is determined by its surrounding membrane (lipid bilayer). When the membrane is composed of different lipids, it is natur...
Ionic Size Effects: Generalized Boltzmann Distributions, Counterion Stratification, and Modified Debye Length [0.03%]
离子尺寸效应：广义boltzmann分布、抗衡离子分层和修改后的deby长度

Bo Liu et al.
Near a charged surface, counterions of different valences and sizes cluster; and their concentration profiles stratify. At a distance from such a surface larger than the Debye length, the electric field is screened by counterions. Recent st...

A Yukawa-field approximation of the electrostatic free energy of a molecular solvation system with an implicit or continuum solvent is constructed. It is argued through the analysis of model molecular systems with spherically symmetric geom...
Nonlinear modelling of cancer: bridging the gap between cells and tumours [0.03%]

Despite major scientific, medical and technological advances over the last few decades, a cure for cancer remains elusive. The disease initiation is complex, and including initiation and avascular growth, onset of hypoxia and acidosis due t...

Many biological systems can switch between two distinct states. Once switched, the system remains stable for a period of time and may switch back to its original state. A gene network with bistability is usually required for the switching a...

The formation of a polygonal configuration of proto-blood-vessels from initially dispersed cells is the first step in the development of the circulatory system in vertebrates. This initial vascular network later expands to form new blood ve...

This paper considers properties of a Markov chain on the natural numbers which models a binary adding machine in which there a non-zero probability of failure each time a register attempts to increment the succeeding register and resets. Th...
