Non-Stationary Critical Phenomena: Expanding The Critical Point

Richard E. Spinney, Richard G. Morris

A prototypical model of symmetry-broken active matter -- biased quorum-sensing active particles (bQSAPs) -- is used to extend notions of dynamic critical phenomena to the paradigma…

A Dean-Kawasaki equation for reaction diffusion systems driven by Poisson noise

Richard E. Spinney, Richard G. Morris

We derive a stochastic partial differential equation that describes the fluctuating behaviour of reaction-diffusion systems of N particles, undergoing Markovian, unary reactions. T…

Advecting Scaffolds: Controlling The Remodelling Of Actomyosin With Anillin

Denni Currin-Ross, Sami C. Al-Izzi, Ivar Noordstra +2

We propose and analyse an active hydrodynamic theory that characterises the effects of the scaffold protein anillin. Anillin is found at major sites of cortical activity, such as a…

Morphodynamics of Active Nematic Fluid Surfaces

Sami C. Al-Izzi, Richard G. Morris

Morphodynamic equations governing the behaviour of active nematic fluids on deformable curved surfaces are constructed in the large deformation limit. Emphasis is placed on the for…

Dynamics of passive and active membrane tubes

Sami C. Al-Izzi, Pierre Sens, Matthew S. Turner +1

Utilising Onsager's variational formulation, we derive dynamical equations for the relaxation of a fluid membrane tube in the limit of small deformation, allowing for a contrast of…

The Polycentric Dynamics of Melbourne and Sydney: Suburb attractiveness divides a city at the home ownership level

Emanuele Crosato, Mikhail Prokopenko, Michael S. Harré

Urban dynamics in large metropolitan areas result from complex interactions across social, economic, and political factors, including population distribution, flows of wealth, and…

Measuring Gaussian rigidity using curved substrates

Piermarco Fonda, Sami C. Al-Izzi, Luca Giomi +1

The Gaussian (saddle splay) rigidity of fluid membranes controls their equilibrium topology but is notoriously difficult to measure. In lipid mixtures, typical of living cells, lin…

Noise-Induced Schooling of Fish

Jitesh Jhawar, Richard G. Morris, U. R. Amith-Kumar +3

We report on the dynamics of collective alignment in groups of the cichlid fish, Etroplus suratensis. Focusing on small-to-intermediate sized groups (), we demonstrate th…

Covariant Active Hydrodynamics of Shape-Changing Epithelial Monolayers

Richard G. Morris, Madan Rao

During the early-stages of embryo development, morphogenesis--- the emergence of shape and form in living organisms--- is almost exclusively associated with monolayers of tightly b…
