Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2014 We overview a series of recent works related to some multiscale problems motivated by practical problems in Mechanics. The common denominator of all these works is that they address multiscale problems where the geometry of the ...

A novel class of scheduling policies for the stochastic resource-constrained project scheduling problem. [PDF]
We study the resource-constrained project scheduling problem with stochastic activity durations. We introduce a new class of scheduling policies for this problem, which make a number of a-priori sequencing decisions in a pre-processing phase, while the ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.TRMT6‐mediated m1A modification in CDK9 mRNA enhances its mRNA stability and translation efficiency, thereby increasing the protein levels of CDK9. Upregulated CDK9 promotes the progression of HCC by elevating the levels of oncogenic factors including p‐STAT3, MCL1, and BCL‐2. On the other hand, CDK9 phosphorylates TARDBP at Ser254 to activate HBV core

The Mixing of Polarizations in the Acoustic Excitations of Disordered Media With Local Isotropy
Frontiers in Physics, 2018 An approximate solution of the Dyson equation related to a stochastic Helmholtz equation, which describes the acoustic dynamics of a three-dimensional isotropic random medium with elastic tensor fluctuating in space, is obtained in the framework of the ...

A note on Herbert Gintis' "Emergence of a Price System from Decentralized Bilateral Exchange" [PDF]
In two recent contributions, Herbert Gintis introduces agent-based imitation models built upon evolutionary bargaining games where agents use private prices as strategies.

Vibrational analysis of structures with stochastic interfaces in the medium-frequency range: Experimental validation on a touch screen [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceThis paper proposes a dedicated approach and its experimental validation when dealing with structures (including stochastic parameters, such as interface parameters) in medium-frequency vibrations. The first ingredient is the use of

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A healthy gut barrier shields underlying fibroblasts from luminal shear forces, illustrating that “good fences make good neighbors.” Barrier damage exposes fibroblasts to shear stress, inducing cell death and the emergence of stress‐adapted, profibrotic fibroblasts. Sustained shear exposure promotes the formation of stiff aggregates of mechanoadapative

A new approach to the treatment of Separatrix Chaos and its applications [PDF]
, 2010 We consider time-periodically perturbed 1D Hamiltonian systems possessing one or more separatrices. If the perturbation is weak, then the separatrix chaos is most developed when the perturbation frequency lies in the logarithmically small or moderate ...
