Building oscillations bottom up: Elemental time scales of intracellular calcium dynamics (2007)
Book Chapter
Thul, R., & Falcke, M. (2007). Building oscillations bottom up: Elemental time scales of intracellular calcium dynamics. In L. Schimansky-Geier, B. Fiedler, J. Kurths, & E. Schöll (Eds.), Analysis and control of complex nonlinear processes in physics, chemistry and biology (293-324). World Scientific. https://doi.org/10.1142/9789812706911_0011

We analyze the elemental time scale of intracellular calcium dynamics. It is determined by the time course of Ca2+ puffs, which represent the fundamental quantum of Ca2+ release from intracellular storage compartments. Since Ca2+ puffs are truly rand...

Calcium oscillations (2007)
Book Chapter
Thul, R., Bellamy, T., Roderick, L., Bootman, M., & Coombes, S. (2007). Calcium oscillations. In M. Maroto, & N. Monk (Eds.), Cellular Oscillatory Mechanisms. Springer

Changes in cellular calcium concentration control a wide range of physiological processes, from the subsecond release of synaptic neurotransmitters, to the regulation of gene expression over months or years. Calcium can also trigger cell death throu... Read More about Calcium oscillations.

Two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by elliptical paddles (2007)
Journal Article
Cox, S. M., & Finn, M. D. (2007). Two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by elliptical paddles. Physics of Fluids, 19(11), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2789970

A fast and accurate numerical technique is developed for solving the biharmonic equation in a multiply connected domain, in two dimensions. We apply the technique to the computation of slow viscous flow (Stokes flow) driven by multiple stirring rods.... Read More about Two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by elliptical paddles.

Conditional moment closure for chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows (2007)
Journal Article
Vikhansky, A., & Cox, S. M. (2007). Conditional moment closure for chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows. AIChE Journal, 53(1),

We implement conditional moment closure (CMC) for simulation of chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows. The CMC approach predicts the expected concentration of reactive species, conditional upon the concentration of a corresponding nonreactive s...
