Speciation as a Phase Transition
In the most recent theory of cellular evolution, the mechanisms of incorporating foreign pieces in an organisms DNA sequence play an extremely important role. The emergence of species has to be perceived as a phase transition. Exact simulations on theoretical models justify that notion and strengthen the argument of the evolution being communal. Extended versions of those models will probably r...

متن کاملSelf-Organized Criticality as a Phase Transition
The original sandpile model of Bak, Tang and Wiesenfeld from 1987 has inspired lots of consequent work and further ideas of how to describe the birth of scale-invariant statistics in various systems and in particular models. In this article the basic ingredients of self-organized criticality (SOC) are overviewed. In line with the orginal arguments of BTW SOC is now known to be a property of sys...
متن کاملMelting as a String-Mediated Phase Transition
We present a theory of the melting of elemental solids as a dislocation-mediated phase transition. We model dislocations near melt as non-interacting closed strings on a lattice. In this framework we derive simple expressions for the melting temperature and latent heat of fusion that depend on the dislocation density at melt. We use experimental data for more than half the elements in the Perio...
