Cytoskeletal Organization: Whirling to the Beat
نویسنده
چکیده
Dense populations of microtubules driven by axonemal dynein form large vortices, providing insights into how simple interactions between individuals can give rise to large-scale coordinated movement, such as that seen in schools of fish and flocks of birds.

Whirling instability of a rotating elastic filament based on a bacterial flagellar structure
When an elastic filament spins in a viscous incompressible fluid it may undergo a whirling instability, as studied asymptotically by Wolgemuth, Powers, Goldstein [1]. We use the Immersed Boundary (IB) method to study the interaction between the elastic filament and the surrounding viscous fluid as governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and to determine the nature of the bifurcat...
متن کاملTwirling and whirling: viscous dynamics of rotating elastic filaments.
Motivated by diverse phenomena in cellular biophysics, including bacterial flagellar motion and DNA transcription and replication, we study the overdamped nonlinear dynamics of a rotationally forced filament with twist and bend elasticity. Competition between twist injection, twist diffusion, and writhing instabilities is described by coupled PDEs for twist and bend evolution. Analytical and nu...
متن کاملWhirling Analysis of Axial-Loaded Multi-Step Timoshenko Rotor Carrying Concentrated Masses
In this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step Timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. Each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. Forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (TMM). The effect of the angular velocity of spin,...
متن کاملTwirling and Whirling: Viscous Dynamics of Rotating Elastica
Motivated by diverse phenomena in cellular biophysics, including bacterial flagellar motion and DNA transcription and replication, we study the overdamped nonlinear dynamics of a rotationally forced filament with twist and bend elasticity. Competition between twist injection, twist diffusion, and writhing instabilities is described by a novel pair of coupled PDEs for twist and bend evolution. A...

Whirling disease has spread rapidly throughout the United States the past 20 years, but predicting its impacts to trout populations has been problematic. Using a database that contained mark-recapture information for 384,938 trout during the years 1980-2007, a before-after control-impact study design was used to analyze data from infected river sections and non-infected reference sections on si...
