Dynamic Stability of Equilibrium Capillary Drops
We investigate a model for contact angle motion of quasi-static capillary drops resting on a horizontal plane. We prove global in time existence and long time behavior (convergence to equilibrium) in a class of star-shaped initial data for which we show that topological changes of drops can be ruled out for all times. Our result applies to any drop which is initially star-shaped with respect to...
متن کاملCell adhesion and synapse formation
Although numerous molecules have been associated with synaptic cell adhesion, there has been little conclusive evidence linking them to specific effects on synapse formation and function. By searching vertebrate sequence databanks, a novel homophilic synaptic cell adhesion molecule called SynCAM has been found which is homologous to members of the immunoglobulin-like (Ig) superfamily and in vit...
متن کاملDynamic Stability of the Nash Equilibrium for a Bidding Game
A one-sided limit order book is modeled as a noncooperative game for several players. An external buyer asks for an amount X > 0 of a given asset. This amount will be bought at the lowest available price, as long as the price does not exceed a upper bound P . One or more sellers offer various quantities of the asset at different prices, competing to fulfill the incoming order. The size X of the...
متن کاملStability of Emulsions under Equilibrium and Dynamic Conditions
In the present article we analyze the influence of various factors, both thermodynamic and hydrodynamic, on the stability of emulsion systems. The effect of the droplet size on the droplet life-time in an emulsion cream is quantified. The comparative importance of kinetic factors such as surface and bulk diffusion fluxes, or viscous and elastic surface stresses, is investigated. The fact that t...
متن کاملAdhesion Molecules at the Synapse
Communication between neurons is mediated mainly by chemical synapses, at which neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, diffuse across the narrow cleft, and activate receptors located on postsynaptic neurons. Synapses provide the structural and functional basis for the formation and maintenance of the complex neural networks that exist in the brain. This process is governed by...
