Social Aggregation as a Cooperative Game [PDF]
, 2010 A new approach for the description of phenomena of social aggregation is suggested. On the basis of psychological concepts (as for instance social norms and cultural coordinates), we deduce a general mechanism for the social aggregation in which ...

Colloidal stability of tannins: astringency, wine tasting and beyond [PDF]
, 2008 Tannin-tannin and tannin-protein interactions in water-ethanol solvent mixtures are studied in the context of red wine tasting. While tannin self-aggregation is relevant for visual aspect of wine tasting (limpidity and related colloidal phenomena ...

On continuum modeling of cell aggregation phenomena [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2022 Cellular aggregates play a significant role in the evolution of biological systems such as tumor growth, tissue spreading, wound healing, and biofilm formation. Analysis of such biological systems, in principle, includes examining the interplay of cell-cell interactions together with the cell-matrix interaction. These two interaction types mainly drive

Aggregation pattern transitions by slightly varying the attractive/repulsive function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Among collective behaviors of biological swarms and flocks, the attractive/repulsive (A/R) functional links between particles play an important role. By slightly changing the cutoff distance of the A/R function, a drastic transition between two distinct ...

Role of clay constituents in stone decay processes
Materiales de Construccion, 2001 Stone alterability/durability is depending upon a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors among which "clay minerals" constituents, either diffused throughout the stone framework or as coating-filling of void spaces, can play an important role ...

The Influence of Shadow Effects on the Spectral Characteristics of Glacial Meltwater
Remote Sensing, 2020 The phenomenon of shadows due to glaciers is investigated in Antarctica. The observed shadow effect disrupts analyses conducted by remote sensing and is a challenge in the assessment of sediment meltwater plumes in polar marine environments.

On a Class of Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Aggregation
Advanced Nonlinear Studies, 2021 In this paper, global-in-time existence and blow-up results are shown for a reaction-diffusion equation appearing in the theory of aggregation phenomena (including chemotaxis).

Derivation of mean-field equations for stochastic particle systems [PDF]
, 2018 We study stochastic particle systems on a complete graph and derive effective mean-field rate equations in the limit of diverging system size, which are also known from cluster aggregation models.
