Emergence of dynamic contractile patterns in slime mold confined in a ring geometry
Busson Valentin, Saiseau Raphaël, Durand Marc
Coordination of cytoplasmic flows on large scales in space and time are at the root of many cellular processes, including growth, migration or division. These flows are driven by o…
Mathematics and Morphogenesis of the City: A Geometrical Approach
Thomas Courtat, Catherine Gloaguen, Stephane Douady
Cities are living organisms. They are out of equilibrium, open systems that never stop developing and sometimes die. The local geography can be compared to a shell constraining its…
French Roadmap for complex Systems 2008-2009
Paul Bourgine, David Chavalarias, Edith Perrier +78
This second issue of the French Complex Systems Roadmap is the outcome of the Entretiens de Cargese 2008, an interdisciplinary brainstorming session organized over one week in 2008…
Architecture of optimal transport networks
Marc Durand
We analyze the structure of networks minimizing the global resistance to flow (or dissipated energy) with respect to two different constraints: fixed total channel volume and fixed…
Optimizing the bulk modulus of cellular networks
Marc Durand
We present an alternative derivation of upper-bounds for the bulk modulus of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cellular materials. For two-dimensional materials, we recove…
The song of the dunes as a self-synchronized instrument
S. Douady, A. Manning, P. Hersen +4
Since Marco Polo (1) it has been known that some sand dunes have the peculiar ability of emitting a loud sound with a well defined frequency, sometimes for several minutes. The ori…
