A Modified Oster-Murray-Harris Mechanical Model of Morphogenesis

There are two main modeling paradigms for biological pattern formation in developmental biology: chemical prepattern models and cell aggregation models. This paper focuses on an example of a cell aggregation model, the mechanical model developed by Oster, Murray, and Harris [Development, 78 (1983), pp. 83–125]. We revisit the Oster–Murray–Harris model and find that, due to the infinitesimal dis...

It is absurd and without any scientific interest to try to play off DES against EI, as if the question was to know if one method is better than the other in the absolute. All methodological inventions deserve to be tried and tested. But the question is how apposite are they to their object of study. However, Froese and Gould’s article opens a range of issues that are important and interesting. ...

As acoustic propagation, forest fire (Pimont et al., 2006), tree stability (Dupont and Brunet, 2008b) or pollen dispersion (Chamecki et al., 2009), a lot of applications needs an accurate representation of the boundary layer to observe its influence on these phenomena. Then, in order to better represent the dynamics into the surface layer, Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) are carried on using thinn...
