Modeling Flow Pattern and Evolution of Meandering Channels with a Nonlinear Model

Koen Blanckaert

Meander dynamics has been the focus of river engineering for decades; however, it remains a challenge for researchers to precisely replicate natural evolution processes of meandering channels with numerical models due to the high nonlinearity of the govern ...

X-Point Effect on Plasma Blob Dynamics

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Fabio Avino

Plasma blob dynamics on the high-field side in the proximity of a magnetic field null (X point) is investigated in TORPEX. A significant acceleration of the blobs towards the X point is observed. Close to the X point the blobs break apart. The E x B drifts ...

Evolution and selection of river networks: Statics, dynamics, and complexity

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

Moving from the exact result that drainage network configurations minimizing total energy dissipation are stationary solutions of the general equation describing landscape evolution, we review the static properties and the dynamic origins of the scale-inva ...

Selection methods regulate evolution of cooperation in digital evolution

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Pawel Lichocki

A key, yet often neglected, component of digital evolution and evolutionary models is the 'selection method' which assigns fitness (number of offspring) to individuals based on their performance scores (efficiency in performing tasks). Here, we study with ...

Les fins d'Internet

Boris Beaude

Nous assistons à la concomitance de la mondialisation de la politique et de la nationalisation d’Internet. La politique est en effet une œuvre magistrale, subtile et délicate par laquelle un monde devient commun. Elle organise la coexistence afin de rendre ...

A Network Analysis Approach of the Venetian Incanto System

Frédéric Kaplan, Yannick Rochat, Andrea Mazzei, Mélanie Suzanne Charlotte Fournier

The objective of this paper was to perform new analyses about the structure and evolution of the Incanto system. The hypothesis was to go beyond the textual narrative or even cartographic representation thanks to network analysis, which could potentially o ...

Human cytomegalovirus intrahost evolution - a new avenue for understanding and controlling herpesvirus infections

Jeffrey David Jensen

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is exquisitely adapted to the human host, and much research has focused on its evolution over long timescales spanning millennia. Here, we review recent data exploring the evolution of the virus on much shorter timescales, on t ...

Entropy and order in urban street networks

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Many complex networks erase parts of their geometry as they develop, so that their evolution is difficult to quantify and trace. Here we introduce entropy measures for quantifying the complexity of street orientations and length variations within planar ne ...

Le local à l'épreuve d'Internet

Boris Beaude

Internet incarne parfaitement la mondialisation. Puissante technique spatiale, Internet oeuvre en effet à rendre la distance non pertinente à l’échelle du Monde. Cette capacité de synchorisation sur de vastes étendues questionne les échelles intermédiaires ...

Logiques de synchorisation, lieux réticulaires et lieux de savoir

Boris Beaude

Du point de vue des savoirs, Internet est peut-être ce que pouvait être une «ville phare» telle qu’Alexandrie, Bagdad, Paris ou Rome. Ces villes furent autant de lieux qui incarnaient différentes expériences historiques des savoirs, chacune étant emblémati ...
