Statistical Tests for Force Inference in Heterogeneous Environments

Alexander S. Serov, François Laurent, Charlotte Floderer +5

We devise a method to detect and estimate forces in a heterogeneous environment based on experimentally recorded stochastic trajectories. In particular, we focus on systems modeled…

Abortive Initiation as a Bottleneck for Transcription in the Early Drosophila Embryo

Alexander S. Serov, Alexander J. Levine, Madhav Mani

Gene transcription is a critical step in gene expression. The currently accepted physical model of transcription predicts the existence of a physical limit on the maximal rate of t…

Real-Space Renormalization Group (RSRG) Approach to Quantum Spin Lattice Systems

A. S. Serov, G. V. Koval

The paper describes an explicit variational modification of the standard RSRG method and its application to quantum spin lattice systems. The modified approach is applied to exactl…

Analytical theory of oxygen transfer in the human placenta

A. S. Serov, C. Salafia, M. Filoche +1

We propose an analytical approach to solving the diffusion-convection equations governing oxygen transport in the human placenta. We show that only two geometrical characteristics…

Optimal villi density for maximal oxygen uptake in the human placenta

A. S. Serov, C. Salafia, P. Brownbill +2

We present a stream-tube model of oxygen exchange inside a human placenta functional unit (a placentone). The effect of villi density on oxygen transfer efficiency is assessed by n…
