Rheology of Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms: from experiments to predictive DPD mesoscopic modelling
Jose Mart. n-Roca, Valentino Bianco, Francisco Alarcon +6
Bacterial biofilms mechanically behave as viscoelastic media consisting of micron-sized bacteria crosslinked to a selfproduced network of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) e…
Variance Sum Rule for Entropy Production
I. Di Terlizzi, M. Gironella, D. Herraez-Aguilar +4
Entropy production is the hallmark of nonequilibrium physics, quantifying irreversibility, dissipation, and the efficiency of energy transduction processes. Despite many efforts, i…
The role of spontaneous curvature in the formation of cell membrane necks
G. Torres-Vargas, F. Monroy, J. A. Santiago
The mechanical effects of membrane compositional inhomogeneities are analyzed in a process analogous of neck formation in cellular membranes. We cast on the Canham-Helfrich model o…
Moulding hydrodynamic 2D-crystals upon parametric Faraday waves in shear-functionalized water surfaces
Mikheil Kharbedia, Niccolò Caselli, Horacio López-Menéndez +2
Faraday waves (FWs), or surface waves oscillating at half of the natural frequency when a liquid is vertically vibrated, are archetypes of ordering transitions on liquid surfaces.…
Membrane stress and torque induced by Frank's nematic textures: A geometric perspective using surface-based constraints
J. A. Santiago, G. Chacón-Acosta, F. Monroy
An elastic membrane with embedded nematic molecules is considered as a model of anisotropic fluid membrane with internal ordering. By considering the geometric coupling between dir…
Phase-space dynamics of minimal Canham-Helfrich cells
Ana M. Maitin, Francisco Monroy
The dynamical phase-space of axisymmetric Canham-Helfrich (CH) cells is constructed from a Hamiltonian field recapitulating membrane curvature-elasticity and systemic restrictions.…
