Host-to-host variation of ecological interactions in polymicrobial infections [PDF]
, 2014 Host-to-host variability with respect to interactions between microorganisms and multicellular hosts are commonly observed in infection and in homeostasis. However, the majority of mechanistic models used in analyzing host-microorganism relationships, as well as most of the ecological theories proposed to explain co-evolution of host and microbes, are ...

Leidenfrost temperature: surface thermal diffusivity and effusivity effect [PDF]
, 2019 Droplet impact on hot surfaces results in either droplet-surface contact or droplet-surface non-contact, i.e., the Leidenfrost state. The Leidenfrost droplet is levitated upon its vapor, deteriorating the heat transfer. The Leidenfrost temperature depends on the thermal properties of the surface, which are usually characterized by two parameters: the ...

Stochastic Efficiency: Five Case Studies [PDF]
New J. Phys. 17 (2015) 065004, 2015 Stochastic efficiency is evaluated in five case studies: driven Brownian motion, effusion with a thermo-chemical and thermo-velocity gradient, a quantum dot and a model for information to work conversion. The salient features of stochastic efficiency, including the maximum of the large deviation function at the reversible efficiency, are reproduced ...
