Understanding Terrorist Organizations with a Dynamic Model

, 2009
Terrorist organizations change over time because of processes such as recruitment and training as well as counter-terrorism (CT) measures, but the effects of these processes are typically studied qualitatively and in separation from each other. Seeking a

Crosstalk and signalling switches in mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades control cell fate decisions, such as proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis by integrating and processing intra- and extracellular cues.

Modeling Cultural Dynamics

, 2008
EVOC (for EVOlution of Culture) is a computer model of culture that enables us to investigate how various factors such as barriers to cultural diffusion, the presence and choice of leaders, or changes in the ratio of innovation to imitation affect the diversity and effectiveness of ideas. It consists of neural network based agents that invent ideas for

Remittances and inequality: a dynamic migration model [PDF]

, 2006
We develop a model to study the effects of migration and remittances on inequality in the origin communities. While wealth inequality is shown to be monotonically reduced along the time-span, the short- and the long-run impacts on income inequality ...

Synergistic Removal of Static and Dynamic Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms by Combined Treatment with a Bacteriophage Endolysin and a Polysaccharide Depolymerase

Viruses, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen and biofilm former. Biofilms cause problems in clinics and food production and are highly recalcitrant to antibiotics and sanitizers.

COLD-SAT dynamic model [PDF]

This report discusses the development and underlying mathematics of a rigid-body computer model of a proposed cryogenic on-orbit liquid depot storage, acquisition, and transfer spacecraft (COLD-SAT). This model, referred to in this report as the COLD-SAT

Microstructure and velocity of field-driven Ising interfaces moving under a soft stochastic dynamic

, 2003
We present theoretical and dynamic Monte Carlo simulation results for the mobility and microscopic structure of 1+1-dimensional Ising interfaces moving far from equilibrium in an applied field under a single-spin-flip ``soft'' stochastic dynamic.

Phase-Field Model of Mode III Dynamic Fracture

, 2001
We introduce a phenomenological continuum model for mode III dynamic fracture that is based on the phase-field methodology used extensively to model interfacial pattern formation.

Dynamic Locomotion in the MIT Cheetah 3 Through Convex Model-Predictive Control

IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2018
This paper presents an implementation of model predictive control (MPC) to determine ground reaction forces for a torque-controlled quadruped robot. The robot dynamics are simplified to formulate the problem as convex optimization while still capturing ...
