Elastodynamics on graphs: wave propagation on networks of plates (2018)
Journal Article

We consider the wave dynamics on networks of plates coupled along 1D joints. This set-up can be mapped onto an extension of wave graph systems studied in, for example, quantum graph theory. In the elastic case, different mode-types (flexural, longitu... Read More about Elastodynamics on graphs: wave propagation on networks of plates.

Thermality from a Rindler quench (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd. Ultracold fermionic atoms in an optical lattice, with a sudden position-dependent change (a quench) in the effective dispersion relation, have been proposed by Rodríguez-Laguna et al as an analogue spacetime test of the Unr...

The structure of a dewetting rim with strong slip: the long-time evolution (2018)
Journal Article

When a thin viscous film dewets from a solid substrate, the liquid forms a characteristic rim near the contact line as the contact line retracts. The shape of the rim and also the retraction rate vary strongly with the amount of slip that occurs at t...

The geometry of Sloppiness (2018)
Journal Article

The use of mathematical models in the sciences often involves the estimation of unknown parameter values from data. Sloppiness provides information about the uncertainty of this task. In this paper, we develop a precise mathematical foundation for sl... Read More about The geometry of Sloppiness.

Fermions, differential forms and doubled geometry (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The Author We show that all fermions of one generation of the Pati–Salam version of the Standard Model (SM) can be elegantly described by a single fixed parity (say even) inhomogeneous real-valued differential form in seven dimensions. In this... Read More about Fermions, differential forms and doubled geometry.

Gravity with more or less gauging (2018)
Journal Article

General relativity is usually formulated as a theory with gauge invariance under the diffeomorphism group, but there is a 'dilaton' formulation where it is in addition invariant under Weyl transformations, and a 'unimodular' formulation where it is o...

Network mechanisms underlying the role of oscillations in cognitive tasks (2018)
Journal Article

Oscillatory activity robustly correlates with task demands during many cognitive tasks. However, not only are the network mechanisms underlying the generation of these rhythms poorly understood, but it is also still unknown to what extent they may pl...

Causal structure of black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories (2018)
Journal Article

In theories with derivative (self-)interactions, the propagation of perturbations on nontrivial field configurations is determined by effective metrics. Generalized scalar-tensor theories belong in this class and this implies that the matter fields a... Read More about Causal structure of black holes in shift-symmetric Horndeski theories.

Metallome of cerebrovascular endothelial cells infected with Toxoplasma gondii using ?-XRF imaging and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (2018)
Journal Article

In this study, we measured the levels of elements in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) infected with T. gondii. ECs were infected with tachyzoites of the RH strain, and at 6, 24, and 48 hours post infection (hpi), the intracellular co...

A complete set of independent and physically meaningful invariants in the mechanics of solids reinforced by two families of fibres (2018)
Journal Article

It has recently been shown [2, 3] that only seven of the classical deformation invariants employed in hyperelasticity of solids reinforced by two families of unidirectional fibres are independent. This short communication demonstrates a manner in whi...
