Chenier Formation Through Wave Winnowing and Tides

Sifting and Winnowing through Human Cytomegalovirus Lytic Replication and Latency

My love of nature began in the field, forest, and creek behindmy house where I spent my summer days catching butterflies, salamanders, minnows, and toads. In high school, the logic and irrefutability of geometry proofs turnedme into a rational thinker. College steered me towards molecular biology. Graduate school introducedme to the art of generating data. My mentor, Joyce Hamlin, and the great...

Substructures formation induced by gravitational tides ?

Physics lectures always refer to the tides as a disruptive effect. However, tides can also be compressive. When the potential of two galaxies overlap, as happens during a merger, fully compressive tides can develop and have a strong impact on the dynamics of substructures such as star clusters or tidal dwarf galaxies. Using N -body simulations of a large set of mergers, we noticed the importanc...

Winnowing, a Document Fingerprinting Algorithm

Among digital data, documents are the easiest to copy and remove any signatures or fingerprints embedded, which make the pirating the hardest to detect. Anyone can just retype a document or copy a part of it. Document fingerprinting is concerned with accurately identifying and copying, including small partial copies, within large sets of documents. We will make a literature study of Winnowing, ...

Turbulence and columnar vortex formation through inertial-wave focusing.

In this experimental and numerical study, we consider the role of inertial waves in the inverse energy cascade and the transfer of momentum in a rotating fluid. An oscillating torus generates two inertial-wave cones with their energy focusing at their apex. For high wave amplitudes, turbulence is generated locally around the focal point, resulting in angular momentum mixing and the generation o...
