Bifurcation Analysis of Gene Regulatory Circuits Subject to Copy Number Variation
(2010)Gene regulatory networks are comprised of many small gene circuits. Understanding expression dynamics of gene circuits for broad ranges of parameter space may provide insight into the behavior of larger regulatory networks ... -
Chaos for cardiac arrhythmias through a one-dimensional modulation equation for alternans
(2010)Instabilities in cardiac dynamics have been widely investigated in recent years. One facet of this work has studied chaotic behavior, especially possible correlations with fatal arrhythmias. Previously chaotic behavior was ... -
Characterization and Applications of Force-induced Reactions
(2015)Just as heat, light and electricity do, mechanical forces can also stimulate reactions. Conventionally, these processes - known as mechanochemistry - were viewed as comprising only destructive events, such as bond scission ... -
Dynamical Principles in Switching Networks
(2010)Switching networks are a common model for biological systems, especiallyfor genetic transcription networks. Stuart Kaufman originally proposedthe usefulness of the Boolean framework, but much of the dynamical features there ... -
Dynamics of Electromagnetic Systems for Energy Harvesting and Filtering
(2014)The focus of this dissertation is on the dynamics of electromagnetic systems for energy harvesting and filtering applications. The inclusion of magnets into systems generates nonlinearity due to the nature of electromagnetic ... -
Extraction of state-to-state reactive scattering attributes from wave packet in reactant Jacobi coordinates
(2010)The S-matrix for a scattering system provides the most detailed information about the dynamics. In this work, we discuss the calculation of S-matrix elements for the A+BC -> AB+C, AC+B type reaction. Two methods for extracting ... -
M6A Reshapes the Folding and Recognition Landscape of RNAs
(2021)Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a versatile and dynamic biomolecule that serves as an indispensable component in the central dogma of molecular biology. The realization that RNA plays a wide variety of roles in gene expression ... -
Solow's Harrod: Transforming Cyclical Dynamics into a Model of Long-Run Growth
(Economic Research Initiatives at Duke (ERID), 2013-03-27)Modern growth theory derives mostly from Robert Solow’s “A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth” (1956). Solow’s own interpretation locates the origins of his “Contribution” in his view that the growth model of ... -
The dynamics of successive induction in larval zebrafish.
(J Exp Anal Behav, 2010-09)Charles Sherrington identified the properties of the synapse by purely behavioral means-the study of reflexes-more than 100 years ago. They were subsequently confirmed neurophysiologically. Studying reflex interaction, he ... -
Transient anomalous diffusion of tracer particles in soft matter
(2009)This paper is motivated by experiments in which time series of tracer particles in viscoelastic liquids are recorded using advanced microscopy. The experiments seek to infer either viscoelastic properties of the sample [Mason ... -
Using Reinforcement Learning and Bayesian Optimization on Problems in Vehicle Dynamics and Random Vibration Environmental Testing
(2022)To accomplish the increasingly complex tasks that humans seek to achieve through technology, the advancement of the understanding and application of control systems is paramount for success. For relatively simple dynamic ...
