Phase separation of bacterial colonies in a limit of high degradation . Analogy with Jupiter ’ s great red spot
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the structure of the equilibrium states of a regularized Keller-Segel model describing the chemotaxis of bacterial populations. We consider the limit of high degradation of the secreted chemical where analytical results can be obtained. Below a critical effective temperature, the system experiences a second order phase transition from a homogeneous phase to an inhomogeneous phase formed by two domains with uniform concentration separated by a thin interface (domain wall). We study the properties of the interface and determine the bifurcation between a circular shape (spot) and a stripe as a function of the control parameters. We show the analogy with the structure of Jupiter's Great red spot which also consists of two phases with uniform potential vorticity separated by a thin annular jet.

Crystal Phase Study of Pigment Red 254 in the Presence of Ionic Liquids
Different crystal phase with a same chemical structure, polymorphous, is a specific physical characteristic which determine the end usage of pigments especially in high performance ones. Diketopyrrolopyrrole DPP derivatives, as one of the innovative in heterocyclic pigments, follow this pattern. Synthesis of pigment red 254 in selected crystal phase using ionic liquids was achieved without any ...

Jupiter has half a dozen eastward jet streams in each hemisphere. On average, Earth has only one in each hemisphere. Jupiter has weather patterns ("storms'') that last for centuries. Earth has stationary weather patterns fixed to the topography, but the average lifetime of a traveling storm is rvl week. Jupiter has no topography, i.e. , no cont inents or oceans; its atmosphere merges smoothly w...

We introduce a new set of generalized Fokker-Planck equations that conserve energy and mass and increase a generalized entropy until a maximum entropy state is reached. The concept of generalized entropies is rigorously justified for continuous Hamiltonian systems undergoing violent relaxation. Tsallis entropies are just a special case of this generalized thermodynamics. Application of these re...

The accurate prediction of protein stability is one of the most challenging goals in protein formulation and delivery. In this study, a gradient RP-HPLC method is described for the separation of human growth hormone (hGH) variants as deamidated and oxidized forms. The methodology employed a polymeric poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene) column and a 1mL/min flow rate of a linear gradient of 0.1% v/...
