Connecting macroscopic dynamics with microscopic properties in active microtubule network contraction
The cellular cytoskeleton is an active material, driven out of equilibrium by molecular motor proteins. It is not understood how the collective behaviors of cytoskeletal networks emerge from the properties of the network’s constituent motor proteins and filaments. Here we present experimental results on networks of stabilized microtubules in Xenopus oocyte extracts, which undergo spontaneous bu...
متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملActive contraction of microtubule networks
Many cellular processes are driven by cytoskeletal assemblies. It remains unclear how cytoskeletal filaments and motor proteins organize into cellular scale structures and how molecular properties of cytoskeletal components affect the large-scale behaviors of these systems. Here, we investigate the self-organization of stabilized microtubules in Xenopus oocyte extracts and find that they can fo...
متن کاملHow macroscopic properties dictate microscopic probabilities
Given that quantum theory is probabilistic, is there a fundamental physical principle that dictates the form of the quantum probability law? We will argue that, indeed, the assigned probabilities for a given test performed on a large sample of identical systems are dictated by the classical-like properties of macroscopic systems. Consider a sample of N identically prepared nonentangled spins in...
متن کاملDo macroscopic properties dictate microscopic probabilities ?
Aharonov and Reznik have recently argued that the form of the probabilistic predictions of quantum theory can be seen to follow from properties of macroscopic systems. An error in their argument is identified .
