Saffman-Taylor Fingers at Intermediate Noise
Dan Shafir, David A. Kessler
We study Saffman-Taylor flow in the presence of intermediate noise numerically by using both a boundary-integral approach as well as the Kadanoff-Liang modified Diffusion-Limited A…
Effective Potential for Cellular Size Control
David A. Kessler, Stanislav Burov
For various species of biological cells, experimental observations indicate the existence of universal distributions of the cellular size, scaling relations between the cell-size m…
Fluctuations of ring polymers
Shlomi Medalion, Erez Aghion, Hagai Meirovitch +2
We present an exact solution for the distribution of sample averaged monomer to monomer distance of ring polymers. For non-interacting and weakly-interacting models these distribut…
Fluctuating Filaments Under Tension - From Flexible Chains to Rigid Rods
David A. Kessler, Yitzhak Rabin
We develop a novel biased Monte-Carlo simulation technique to measure the force-extension curves and the distribution function of the extension of fluctuating filaments stretched b…
Stretching Instability of Helical Spring
David A. Kessler, Yitzhak Rabin
We show that when a gradually increasing tensile force is applied to the ends of a helical spring with sufficiently large ratios of radius to pitch and twist to bending rigidity, t…
Non-native beta-sheet formation: insights into protein amyloidosis
Chinlin Guo, Herbert Levine, David A. Kessler
Protein amyloidosis is a cytopathological process characterized by the formation of highly beta-sheet-rich fibrils. How this process occurs and how to prevent/treat the associated…
