Turing patterns with pentagonal symmetry.
We explore numerically the formation of Turing patterns in a confined circular domain with small aspect ratio. Our results show that stable fivefold patterns are formed over a well defined range of disk sizes, offering a possible mechanism for inducing the fivefold symmetry observed in early development of regular echinoids. Using this pattern as a seed, more complex biological structures can b...
متن کاملDesign of a New Mathematical Model for Integrated Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing Systems and Production Planning
This paper presents a new mathematical model for integrated dynamic cellular manufacturing systems and production planning that minimizes machine purchasing, intra-cell material handling, cell reconfiguration and setup costs. The presented model forms the manufacturing cells and determines the quantity of machine and movements during each period of time. This problem is NP-hard, so a meta-heur...
متن کاملTranslation symmetry breakdown in low-dimensional lattices of pentagonal rings.
The mechanism of translation symmetry breakdown in newly proposed low-dimensional carbon pentagon-constituted nanostructures (e.g., pentagraphene) with multiple sp(2)/sp(3) sublattices was studied by GGA DFT, DFTB, and model potential approaches. It was found that finite nanoclusters suffer strong uniform unit cell bending followed by breaking of crystalline lattice linear translation invarianc...
متن کاملCracking up: symmetry breaking in cellular systems
The shape of animal cells is, to a large extent, determined by the cortical actin network that underlies the cell membrane. Because of the presence of myosin motors, the actin cortex is under tension, and local relaxation of this tension can result in cortical flows that lead to deformation and polarization of the cell. Cortex relaxation is often regulated by polarizing signals, but the cortex ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm to Solve Utilization-based Model for Cellular Manufacturing Systems
The design of cellular manufacturing system (CMS) involves many structural and operational issues. One of the important CMS design steps is the formation of part families and machine cells which is called cell formation. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to solve a new mathematical model for cell formation in cellular manufacturing systems based on cell utilization concept. The p...
