Excitable patterns in active nematics.
We analyze a model of mutually propelled filaments suspended in a two-dimensional solvent. The system undergoes a mean-field isotropic-nematic transition for large enough filament concentrations, and the nematic order parameter is allowed to vary in space and time. We show that the interplay between nonuniform nematic order, activity, and flow results in spatially modulated relaxation oscillati...
متن کاملDefect dynamics in active nematics.
Topological defects are distinctive signatures of liquid crystals. They profoundly affect the viscoelastic behaviour of the fluid by constraining the orientational structure in a way that inevitably requires global changes not achievable with any set of local deformations. In active nematic liquid crystals, topological defects not only dictate the global structure of the director, but also act ...
متن کاملConvection driven by centrifugal buoyancy in nematics
The onset of thermal convection in a nematic contained in a vertical rotating cylindrical annulus heated from the outside is studied as a function of the planar alignment of the liquid crystal director n. When n is horizontal, the results confirm data on gravitational buoyancy. An original first order like convection mode is obtained when n is parallel to the cylinder axis. Thermal convection i...
متن کاملTax Avoidance and Institutional Ownership: Active vs. Passive Ownership
Income tax is one of the most important costs of companies and it is usually considered as a cost that should not be paid. One of the most noticeable and influential factors in tax avoidance is corporate ownership structure. With an emphasis on institutional ownership and its types in this paper, it is attempted to measure the effect of this ownership and its types on corporate tax avoidance. F...
متن کاملPassive and Active Measures
FAS prevention programs attempt to reduce the incidence of drinking during pregnancy by educating women about the risks of alcohol to their unborn babies. Alcoholic beverage warning labels reach a wide audience and have had some effect on curtailing such drinking. Communitybased efforts, however, reach specific populations of women and their health care providers and have a more potent, local ...
