Orphan Annie-eye Nuclei

The nucleus forms the central part of a cell which controls gene expression and mediates the replication of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) during cell cycle. Two main types of nuclei which we usually encounter are the open face (transcriptionally active cells), consisting of large areas of euchromatin and the closed faced nucleus (transcriptionally inactive cells-most of its genome is in inactive ...

TP 19 : Models of granular networks in two and three dimensions Supervisor : Dr Mason Porter

I develop several new models that attempt to reproduce the structure of two-dimensional granular materials, and compare them with experiment using diagnostics from network science. I discuss one model that treats granular networks as a perturbation of a close-packed hexagonal lattice, and two models that are modifications of the random geometric graph (RGG). One of these modified RGGs simulates...
