Abstract. In this paper we provide sharp bounds for the error in approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral R b a f (t) du (t) by the trapezoidal rule f (a) + f (b) 2 [u (b) u (a...
The low-Reynolds number motions of Purcell’s three-link swimmer, and of a closely-related two-paddle swimmer, are investigated and compared using slender-body theory and resisti...
Sir James Lighthill proposed in 1992 that acoustic streaming occurs in the inner ear, as part of the cochlear amplifier mechanism. Here we hypothesize that some of the most ancien...
We consider a polymerization (fragmentation) model with size-dependent parameters involved in prion proliferation. Using power laws for the different rates of this model, we reco...
Molecular circadian clocks, that are found in all nucleated cells of mammals, are known to dictate rhythms of approximately 24 hours (circa diem) to many physiological processes. ...
When filtering through a wall with constant averaging radius, in addition to the subfilter scale stresses, a non-closed commutator term arises. We consider a proposal of Das and ...
