Geometric frustration and solid-solid transitions in model 2D tissue
Michael Moshe, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti
We study the mechanical behavior of two-dimensional cellular tissues by formulating the continuum limit of discrete vertex models based on an energy that penalizes departures from…
Topological Sound and Flocking on Curved Surfaces
Suraj Shankar, Mark J. Bowick, M. Cristina Marchetti
Active systems on curved geometries are ubiquitous in the living world. In the presence of curvature orientationally ordered polar flocks are forced to be inhomogeneous, often requ…
Proposal for Automatic License and Number Plate Recognition System for Vehicle Identification
Hamed Saghaei
In this paper, we propose an automatic and mechanized license and number plate recognition (LNPR) system which can extract the license plate number of the vehicles passing through…
Thick smectic shells
O. V. Manyuhina, M. J. Bowick
The known ground state of ultrathin smectic films confined to the surface of a sphere is described by four +1/2 defects assembled on a great circle and a director which follows geo…
