How do incorrect ligands help detect a correct ligand?
Yan-Ru Chen, Kwan-tai Leung, Hsuan-Yi Chen
Intrigued by the response of T cell receptors to the presence of a few agonist ligands, we propose a minimal model that can achieve similar performance. The model consists of a sma…
Spiral cracks in drying precipitates
Z. Neda, K. -t. Leung, L. Jozsa +1
We investigate the formation of spiral crack patterns during the desiccation of thin layers of precipitates in contact with a substrate. This symmetry-breaking fracturing mode is f…
Spiral cracks without twisting
K-t. Leung, L. Jozsa, M. Ravasz +1
A fascinating class of patterns, often encountered in nature as meandering cracks on rocks, dried-out fields and tectonic plates is produced by the fracture of solids. Here we repo…
Heuristic derivation of continuum kinetic equations from microscopic dynamics
Kwan-tai Leung
We present an approximate and heuristic scheme for the derivation of continuum kinetic equations from microscopic dynamics for stochastic, interacting systems. The method consists…
Pattern formation and selection in quasi-static fracture
Kwan-tai Leung, Zoltan Neda
Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack f…
Viability of competing field theories for the driven lattice gas
B. Schmittmann, H. K. Janssen, U. C. Taeuber +3
It has recently been suggested that the driven lattice gas should be described by a novel field theory in the limit of infinite drive. We review the original and the new field theo…
