How fleas jump.
Our encounters with fleas are now thankfully limited to the unwanted infections of our pets, but for most mammals and birds they remain a continual annoyance. There are about 2000 species of fleas that suck the blood of a wide variety of hosts, each adapted to their own ecological niche. They belong to the order Siphonaptera but appear to be heading for reclassification with the Mecoptera, or s...
متن کاملHow coalescing droplets jump.
Surface engineering at the nanoscale is a rapidly developing field that promises to impact a range of applications including energy production, water desalination, self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces, thermal management of electronics, microfluidic platforms, and environmental pollution control. As the area advances, more detailed insights of dynamic wetting interactions on these surfaces are...
متن کاملHow Vertex reinforced jump process arises naturally
We prove that the only nearest neighbor jump process with local dependence on the occupation times satisfying the partially exchangeable property is the vertex reinforced jump process, under some technical conditions (Theorem 4). This result gives a counterpart to the characterization of edge reinforced random walk given by Rolles [9].
متن کاملHow Quick Is a Quantum Jump?
Although the only time scale one ordinarily associates with a quantum transition is its lifetime, observations of “quantum jumps” in recent years show that the actual transition time is much shorter. I define a “jump time” as the time scale such that perturbations occurring at intervals of this duration affect the decay. In terms of the “Zeno time” (related to the second moment of the Hamiltoni...
متن کاملCan Social Contagion Help Global Health ‘Jump the Shark’?; Comment on “How to Facilitate Social Contagion?”
The instrumental use of social networks has become a central tenet of international health policy and advocacy since the Millennium project. In asking, ‘How to facilitate social contagion?’, Karl Blanchet of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine therefore reflects not only on the recent success, but also hints to growing challenges; the tactics of partnerships, alliances and platfo...
