Taming contact line instability for pattern formation
Nature Communications, 2016 Coating flows on surfaces are very useful in many industrial applications such as printing organic electronics, but it is challenging to control the process owing to unstable flow. Here, Deblais et al.

Patterns of nonresident father contact [PDF]
Demography, 2010 Abstract We used the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort (NLSY79) from 1979 to 2002 and the Children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (CNLSY) from 1986 to 2002 to describe the number, shape, and population frequencies of U.S.

School Closures and Student Contact Patterns [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 To determine how school closure for pandemic (H1N1) 2009 affected students' contact patterns, we conducted a retrospective questionnaire survey at a UK school 2 weeks after the school reopened. School closure was associated with a 65% reduction in the mean total number of contacts for each student.

Patterns of human social contact and contact with animals in Shanghai, China [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractEast Asia is as a principal hotspot for emerging zoonotic infections. Understanding the likely pathways for their emergence and spread requires knowledge on human-human and human-animal contacts, but such studies are rare. We used self-completed and interviewer-completed contact diaries to quantify patterns of these contacts for 965 individuals

Quantifying heterogeneous contact patterns in Japan: a social contact survey [PDF]
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, 2019 Social contact surveys can greatly help in quantifying the heterogeneous patterns of infectious disease transmission. The present study aimed to conduct a contact survey in Japan, offering estimates of contact by age and location and validating a social contact matrix using a seroepidemiological dataset of influenza.An internet-based questionnaire ...

Dynamical model for the formation of patterned deposits at receding contact lines [PDF]
, 2010 We describe the formation of deposition patterns that are observed in many different experiments where a three-phase contact line of a volatile nanoparticle suspension or polymer solution recedes.

Partial annealing of a coupled mean-field spin-glass model with an embedded pattern [PDF]
, 2003 A partially annealed mean-field spin-glass model with a locally embedded pattern is studied. The model consists of two dynamical variables, spins and interactions, that are in contact with thermal baths at temperatures T_S and T_J, respectively.

Transient pattern formation in an active matter contact poisoning model
Communications Physics, 2023 One of the most notable features in repulsive particle based active matter systems is motility-induced-phase separation (MIPS) where a dense, often crystalline phase and low density fluid coexist.
