Turbulence is ubiquitous in nature, yet even for the case of ordinary Newtonian fluids like
water, our understanding of this phenomenon is limited. Many liquids of practical importance …

It is widely believed that the swimming speed, v, of many flagellated bacteria is a nonmonotonic
function of the concentration, c, of high-molecular-weight linear polymers in aqueous …

The theory of matrix models is reviewed from the point of view of its relation to integrable
hierarchies. Discrete 1-matrix, 2-matrix,'conformal'(multicomponent) and Kontsevich models are …

This paper is an pedagogical essay on the scenario of the instabilities and the transition to
turbulence in visco-elastic polymer flows. When polymers are long, they get easily stretched …

BACKGROUND Much of ecological theory and the understanding of ecological systems has
been based on the idea that the observed states and dynamics of ecological systems can …

This review is devoted to very specific processes in stationary plasma propulsion devices
with poloidal magnetic and electric fields and a dielectric channel (Fig. 1) [1—3]. At present, …

Adding a nonadsorbing polymer to passive colloids induces an attraction between the
particles via the “depletion” mechanism. High enough polymer concentrations lead to phase …

Some problems of mathematical physics and analysis can be formulated as the problem of
solving the equation f€ F,(1) Au= f, where A: DA CU+ F is an operator with a non-empty …

The exact Seiberg-Witten (SW) description of the light sector in the N = 2 SUSY 4d Yang-Mills
theory [N. Seiberg and E. Witten, Nucl. Phys. B 430 (1994) 485 (E); B 446 (1994) 19] is …

We propose a model for the formation of chromatin loops based on the diffusive sliding of
molecular slip links. These mimic the behavior of molecules like cohesin, which, along with the …
