Colloidal particle motion as a diagnostic of DNA conformational transitions [PDF]
Tethered particle motion is an experimental technique to monitor conformational changes in single molecules of DNA in real time, by observing the position fluctuations of a micrometer-size particle attached to the DNA.

Rotation-invariant features for multi-oriented text detection in natural images. [PDF]
Texts in natural scenes carry rich semantic information, which can be used to assist a wide range of applications, such as object recognition, image/video retrieval, mapping/navigation, and human computer interaction.

Molecular modeling of intermolecular and intramolecular excluded volume interactions for polymers at interfaces [PDF]
A hybrid modeling approach is proposed for inhomogeneous polymer solutions. The method is illustrated for the depletion problem with polymer chains up to N=103 segments in semidilute solutions and good solvent conditions. In a three-dimensional volume, a

Nonequilibrium dynamics of a stochastic model of anomalous heat transport: numerical analysis
We study heat transport in a chain of harmonic oscillators with random elastic collisions between nearest-neighbours. The equations of motion of the covariance matrix are numerically solved for free and fixed boundary conditions.

Driver-pressure-impact and response-recovery chains in European rivers: observed and predicted effects on BQEs [PDF]
The report presented in the following is part of the outcome of WISER’s river Workpackage WP5.1 and as such part of the module on aquatic ecosystem management and restoration. The ultimate goal of WP5.1 is to provide guidance on best practice restoration

Dynamical structure of entangled polymers simulated under shear flow
The non-linear response of entangled polymers to shear flow is complicated. Its current understanding is framed mainly as a rheological description in terms of the complex viscosity.

Markov Chain Methods For Analyzing Complex Transport Networks
We have developed a steady state theory of complex transport networks used to model the flow of commodity, information, viruses, opinions, or traffic. Our approach is based on the use of the Markov chains defined on the graph representations of transport
