In the second part of the book these concepts and techniques are applied not only to vehicular traffic but also to transport and traffic-like phenomena in living systems ranging from collective movements of social insects (for example, ants) on trails to intracellular molecular motor transport. ...
Discusses the problems created in graduate chemical engineering programs when students enter with a wide diversity of understandings of transport phenomena. Describes a two-semester graduate transport course sequence at the University of Notre Dame which focuses on fluid mechanics and heat and mass trans...
Enormous progress have been made in the last 20 years since the publication of our review \cite{csk05polrev} in this journal on transport and traffic phenomena in biology. In this brief article we present a glimpse of the major advances during this period. First, we present similarities and...
While thehydrologic cycle(Fig. 1) is global in nature, the local response to frequent large-scale meteorological forcing results from global phenomena acting at local scales in response to local conditions. This gives rise to what is called in hydrology theuniqueness of place(Beven, 2000). Hydro...
Practice theory, for example, could be employed here to highlight and explain user adoption of innovations and provide for a richer understanding of the micro-phenomena that takes place on different life stages (both affecting men and women) by which these stages can be targeted in the right ...
Their global dispersion is evident in the atmosphere, reaching polar regions51,142 and high-altitude locales like the Himalayas and Alpine glaciers143,144,145. Meteorological phenomena play a crucial role in this dispersion, acting as key drivers that transport MPs far from their original sources...
our work captures how autoregulation of phenotypic noise enables correlated collective phenomena—in structure, defect kinetics and active hydrodynamics—thereby establishing a general mechanistic framework to understand the emergence of statistically precise collective events within active systems comprising individ...
Thus, mobile small RNAs can spread gene silencing locally, suggesting that other RNAs mediating epigenetic phenomena might do so as well. Aside from the local transport of RNAs, plants also have the ability to move macromolecules including RNAs through their vasculature, in particular through the ...
However, many other proteins involved in transport phenomena are still poorly studied and/or subject of intense debate regarding their true molecular nature, functionality, kinetic properties and energetics. It is particularly interesting to understand how transporters and channels with relatively similar ...
