Gene family amplification facilitates adaptation in freshwater Unionid bivalve Megalonaias nervosa

Rebekah L. Rogers, Stephanie L. Grizzard, James E. Titus-McQuillan +5

As organisms are faced with intense rapidly changing selective pressures, new genetic material is required to facilitate adaptation. Among sources of genetic novelty, gene duplicat…

Segmenting root systems in X-ray computed tomography images using level sets

Amy Tabb, Keith E. Duncan, Christopher N. Topp

The segmentation of plant roots from soil and other growing media in X-ray computed tomography images is needed to effectively study the root system architecture without excavation…

Numerical estimation of entropy loss on dimerization: improved prediction of the quaternary structure of the GCN4 leucine zipper

Jorge Vinals, Andrzej Kolinski, Jeffrey Skolnick

A lattice based model of a protein is used to study the dimerization equilibrium of the GCN4 leucine zipper. Replica exchange Monte Carlo is used to determine the free energy of bo…

Weakly nonlinear theory of grain boundary motion in patterns with crystalline symmetry

Denis Boyer, Jorge Vinals

We study the motion of a grain boundary separating two otherwise stationary domains of hexagonal symmetry. Starting from an order parameter equation appropriate for hexagonal patte…

Linear bubble model of abnormal grain growth

W. W. Mullins, Jorge Vinals

A linear bubble model of grain growth is introduced to study the conditions under which an isolated grain can grow to a size much larger than the surrounding matrix average (abnorm…

Grain boundary pinning and glassy dynamics in stripe phases

Denis Boyer, Jorge Viñals

We study numerically and analytically the coarsening of stripe phases in two spatial dimensions, and show that transient configurations do not achieve long ranged orientational ord…
