Complex dynamics such as period doubling and chaos occur in a wide variety of non-linear dynamical systems. In the context of biological circadian clocks, such phenomena have been previously found in ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Sebastian Deindl at Uppsala University has developed a pioneering method that vastly improves the ability to observe and analyze complex biological processes at ...

CK1δ complexes assembling in the cytosol enter the nucleus, where PER2 hyperphosphorylation eventually disrupts the complex, causing PER2 to relocalize to the cytoplasm, allowing nuclear accumulation ...

Scientists have developed hundreds of techniques to measure the interactions between pairs of processes in complex systems, but these computational methods—from contemporaneous correlation ...

In order to uncover the relationship between structure and function, researchers used microfluidic devices to study neuronal networks. Uncovering the relationship between structure (connectivity) and ...

The beliefs we hold develop from a complex dance between our internal and external lives. A recent study uses well-known formalisms in statistical physics to model multiple aspects of belief-network ...

In physics, a "disordered system" refers to a physical system whose components—e.g., its atoms—are not organized in any discernible way. Like a drawer full of random socks, a disordered system lacks a ...

The dynamics of volume preserving maps can model a variety of mixing problems ranging from microscopic granular mixing, to dispersion of pollutants over our planet's atmosphere. We study a general ...
