Cover Story: Variation in the transcriptional activity of DNA fibres has been hypothesized to promote their self-organization in the cell's nucleus. We model the activity as stronger-than-thermal fluctuations and study the non-equilibrium phase separation of active–passive polymer mixtures. Examining the non-equilibrium steady states reveals analogies with equilibrium phase-separated polymer mixtures. We point out interesting observations that indicate general principles behind the non-equilibrium phase transition. View this paper

Considering consumers’ attitudes to risks for probabilistic products and probabilistic selling, this paper develops a dynamic Stackelberg game model of the supply chain considering the asymmetric dual-channel structure. Based on entropy theory...

Residual Multiparticle Entropy for a Fractal Fluid of Hard Spheres

  • Andrés Santos,
  • Franz Saija and
  • Paolo V. Giaquinta

23 July 2018

The residual multiparticle entropy (RMPE) of a fluid is defined as the difference, Δs, between the excess entropy per particle (relative to an ideal gas with the same temperature and density), sex, and the pair-correlation contribution, s2. Thu...

The principle of least action, which is usually applied to natural phenomena, can also be used in optimization problems with manual intervention. Following a brief introduction to the brachistochrone problem in classical mechanics, the principle of l...

Turbulence through the Spyglass of Bilocal Kinetics

  • Gregor Chliamovitch and
  • Yann Thorimbert

20 July 2018

In two recent papers we introduced a generalization of Boltzmann’s assumption of molecular chaos based on a criterion of maximum entropy, which allowed setting up a bilocal version of Boltzmann’s kinetic equation. The present paper aims t...

20 July 2018

Uncertainty of scalar values in an ensemble dataset is often represented by the collection of their corresponding isocontours. Various techniques such as contour-boxplot, contour variability plot, glyphs and probabilistic marching-cubes have been pro...

Random k-Body Ensembles for Chaos and Thermalization in Isolated Systems

  • Venkata Krishna Brahmam Kota and
  • Narendra D. Chavda

20 July 2018

Embedded ensembles or random matrix ensembles generated by k-body interactions acting in many-particle spaces are now well established to be paradigmatic models for many-body chaos and thermalization in isolated finite quantum (fermion or boson) syst...

We introduce a definition of algorithmic symmetry in the context of geometric and spatial complexity able to capture mathematical aspects of different objects using as a case study polyominoes and polyhedral graphs. We review, study and apply a metho...

Recently, to conquer most non-plain related chaos-based image cryptosystems’ security flaws that cannot resist the powerful chosen/knownn plain-text attacks or differential attacks efficiently for less plaintext sensitivity, many plain related...
