Filopodia are bundles of actin filaments that extend out ahead of the leading edge of a crawling cell to probe its upcoming environment. In vitro experiments (Vignjevic et al. in J Cell Biol 160:951-962, 2003) have determined the minimal ingredients required for the formation of filopodia from the dendritic-like morphology of the leading edge. We model these experiments using kinetic aggregatio...

Abstract An on-chip solution for health monitoring of semiconductor power switches subjected to thermo-mechanical metal fatigue degradation is proposed. The detection relies on the correlation between progress main failure mechanism, which critical functionality device, and a parallel non-critical sensing structure using different mechanism. Both mechanisms are driven by same cyclic load. This ...

Abstract Anti-crime policy is often unresponsive to reductions in crime. To address why, we provide a model and empirical test of how citizens’ anti-crime preferences respond information. Our shows that for hinge on expectations about the crime rate: punitive policies are preferred high contexts, whereas social low contexts. We evaluate these through an information experiment embedded 2017 Lati...
