Stars and stripes . Nanoscale misfit dislocation patterns on surfaces *

Close-packed metal surfaces and heteroepitaxial systems frequently display a structure consisting of regularly spaced misfit dislocations, with a network of domain walls separating face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp) domains. These structures can serve as templates for growing regularly spaced arrays of nanoislands. We present a theoretical investigation of the factors co...

Bipartite Ramsey numbers involving stars, stripes and trees

The Ramsey number R(m,n) is the smallest integer p such that any blue-red colouring of the edges of the complete graph Kp forces the appearance of a blue Km or a red Kn. Bipartite Ramsey problems deal with the same questions but the graph explored is the complete bipartite graph instead of the complete graph. We investigate the appearance of simpler monochromatic graphs such as stripes, stars a...

The “Stars and Stripes” Metaphor for Animal Regeneration-Elucidating Two Fundamental Strategies along a Continuum

A number of challenges have hindered the development of a unified theory for metazoan regeneration. To describe the full range of complex regeneration phenomena in Animalia, we suggest that metazoans that regenerate missing body parts exhibit biological attributes that are tailored along a morpho-spatial regeneration continuum, illustrated in its polar scenarios by the USA "stars and stripes" f...

Ever Changing “stars” – Network Experiments in Continuous Time–

Inspired by the 2-way-information flow model on network formation by Bala and Goyal (2000) and strategy adaptation experiments of players in (almost) continuous time (e.g., Berninghaus, Ehrhart and Keser 1999) we design network formation experiments in which almost all groups not only reach a strict Nash network but also switch to several other strict Nash networks and stay with each of them fo...
