A two or three compartments hyperbolic reaction-diffusion model for the aquatic food chain by Elvira Barbera, Giancarlo Consolo, Giovanna Valenti

“…It is assumed that the zooplankton predation follows a Holling type-III functional response, while the zooplankton mortality is linear.Owing to the hyperbolic structure of our equations, the wave processes occur at finite velocity, so that the paradox of instantaneous diffusion of biological quantities, typical of parabolic systems, is consequently removed.The character of steady states and travelling waves, together with the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations, is then discussed through linear stability analysis. The governing equations are also integrated numerically to validate the analytical results herein obtained and to extract additional information on the population dynamics.…”

Distributed Control of a Manufacturing System with One-Dimensional Cellular Automata by Irving Barragan-Vite, Juan C. Seck-Tuoh-Mora, Norberto Hernandez-Romero, Joselito Medina-Marin, Eva S. Hernandez-Gress

“…This is inspired by the fact that both cellular automata and manufacturing systems are discrete dynamical systems where local interactions given among their elements (resources) can lead to complex dynamics, despite the simple rules governing such interactions. The cellular automaton model developed in this study focuses on two states of the resources of a manufacturing system, namely, busy or idle. …”

A Finite Element-Based Elastic-Plastic Model for the Contact of Rough Surfaces by Ali Sepehri, Kambiz Farhang

“…Three-dimensional elastic-plastic contact of two nominally flat rough surfaces is considered. Equations governing the shoulder-shoulder contact of asperities are derived based on the asperity constitutive relations from a finite element model of the elastic-plastic interaction proposed by Kogut and Etsion (2002), in which asperity scale constitutive relations are derived using piecewise approximate functions. …”

Mirror Prescription Regression: A Differential Interferometric Technique by Brian M. Robinson, Patrick J. Reardon, Joseph M. Geary

“…However, the method is generalizable to other configurations with an adjustment of the governing equation. The method involves taking a series of interferograms before and after small, known misalignments are applied to the mirror in the interferometry setup and calculating the prescription (e.g., radius of curvature and conic constant) of the mirror, based on these differential measurements, using a nonlinear regression. …”
