The construction of a model of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from generic configurations of spinning-black-hole binaries, through inspiral, merger, and ringdown, is one of the most pressing theoretical problems in the buildup to the era of GW astronomy. We present the first such model in the frequency domain, PhenomP, which captures the basic phenomenology of the seven-dimensional paramete...

The contact process is used as a simple spatial model in many disciplines, yet because of the buildup of spatial correlations, its dynamics remain difficult to capture analytically. We introduce an empirically based, approximate method of characterizing the spatial correlations with only a single adjustable parameter. This approximation allows us to recast the contact process in terms of a stoc...

The buildup process of coherent structures and patterns from the composite balance between conservative dissipative effects is a universal phenomenon that occurs in various areas physics, ranging quantum mechanics to astrophysics. Dissipative solitons are highly solutions nonlinear wave equations, provide an excellent research platform for ultrafast transient phenomena. Herein, by taking advant...

Organisms interact with each other mostly over local scales, so the local density experienced by an individual is of greater importance than the mean density in a population. This simple observation poses a tremendous challenge to theoretical ecology, and because nonlinear stochastic and spatial models cannot be solved exactly, much effort has been spent in seeking effective approximations. Sev...

Study of the land-use/land cover (LULC) changes close to the boundary of the buildup area (urban fringe) provides deeper understanding of a land-use dynamics at different spatial and temporal scales. Few thoughts have given to the analysis of complicated spatial landscape at a fringe area. The aim of this paper is to resolve this bias by focusing on these interfaces. Results of this paper show ...

Scheduling the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) requires modeling and minimizing the buildup of angular momentum of the spacecraft. Accounting for momentum management is expected to be a major driver of spacecraft efficiency and lifetime. We develop a heuristic that reduces momentum buildup and show how the heuristic can be used in a simulation of the operations concept for JWST scheduling. Th...
