Does the continuum theory of dynamic fracture work?
David A. Kessler, Herbert Levine
We investigate the validity of the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics approach to dynamic fracture. We first test the predictions in a lattice simulation, using a formula of Eshelby…
Dynamics of Competitive Evolution on a Smooth Landscape
Weiqun Peng, Ulrich Gerland, Terence Hwa +1
We study competitive DNA sequence evolution directed by {\it in vitro} protein binding. The steady-state dynamics of this process is well described by a shape-preserving pulse whic…
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…
