GMCs and Star Formation in the Galaxy: I. Effects of an HII region on a GMC

David Hollenbach, Antonio Parravano, Christopher McKee

The destruction of Giant Molecular Clouds is a key component in galaxy evolution. We theoretically model the destruction of GMCs by HII regions, which evaporate ionized gas and eje…

Bounded Confidence under Preferential Flip: A Coupled Dynamics of Structural Balance and Opinions

Antonio Parravano, Ascención Andina-Díaz, Miguel A Meléndez-Jiménez

In this work we study the coupled dynamics of social balance and opinion formation. We propose a model where agents form opinions under bounded confidence, but only considering the…
