Collective Space-Sensing Coordinates Pattern Scaling in Engineered Bacteria
Scale invariance refers to the maintenance of a constant ratio of developing organ size to body size. Although common, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we examined scaling in engineered Escherichia coli that can form self-organized core-ring patterns in colonies. We found that the ring width exhibits perfect scale invariance to the colony size. Our analysis revealed a c...
متن کاملCollective sensing and collective responses in quorum-sensing bacteria
Bacteria often face fluctuating environments, and in response many species have evolved complex decision-making mechanisms to match their behaviour to the prevailing conditions. Some environmental cues provide direct and reliable information (such as nutrient concentrations) and can be responded to individually. Other environmental parameters are harder to infer and require a collective mechani...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics in Collective Coordinates
We study the transformation of the statistical mechanics of N particles to the statistical mechanics of fields, that are the collective coordinates, describing the system. We give an explicit expression for the functional Fourier transform of the Jacobian of the transformation from particle to collective coordinate and derive the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of the collective coordinates. Si...
متن کاملCollective Sensing: a Fixed-Point Approach in the Metric Space
Conventional wisdom in signal processing heavily relies on the concept of inner product defined in the Hilbert space. Despite the popularity of Hilbert-space formulation, we argue it is overly-structured to account for the complexity of signals arising from the real-world. Inspired by the works on fractal image decoding and nonlocal image processing, we propose to view an image as the fixed-poi...
متن کاملChoptuik scaling in null coordinates.
A numerical simulation is performed of the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric scalar field. The algorithm uses the null initial value formulation of the Einstein-scalar equations, but does not use adaptive mesh refinement. A study is made of the critical phenomena found by Choptuik in this system. In particular it is verified that the critical solution exhibits periodic self-simi...
