To qualitatively investigate the validity of Kolmogorov local equilibrium hypothesis and the Taylor dissipation law, we conduct direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional turbulent Kolmogorov flow. Since strong scale-by-scale (i.e. Richardson-type) energy cascade events occur quasi-periodically, the kinetic energy of the turbulence and its dissipation rate evolve quasi-periodically t...

Arlequin ver 3.0 is a software package integrating several basic and advanced methods for population genetics data analysis, like the computation of standard genetic diversity indices, the estimation of allele and haplotype frequencies, tests of departure from linkage equilibrium, departure from selective neutrality and demographic equilibrium, estimation or parameters from past population expa...

A number of two-dimensional spiking neuron models that combine continuous dynamics with an instantaneous reset have been introduced in the literature. The models are capable of reproducing a variety of experimentally observed spiking patterns, and also have the advantage of being mathematically tractable. Here an analysis of the transverse stability of orbits in the phase plane leads to suffici...

We present a generalization of the Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport coefficients mu in complex fluids of the generic form [equation see text], i.e., a sum of an instantaneous transport coefficient muinfinity, and a time integral over a time correlation function in a state of thermal equilibrium between a current J and its conjugate current Jepsilon. The streaming operator exp(tL) ge...

In this third paper of the series, which started with Bailey et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 184507 (2008); ibid. 129, 184508 (2008)], we continue the development of the theoretical understanding of strongly correlating liquids--those whose instantaneous potential energy and virial are more than 90% correlated in their thermal equilibrium fluctuations at constant volume. The existence of such liqui...

The knowledge of the continuous evolution soil hydraulic characteristics is required for several environmental geotechnical applications such as capillary barrier systems and river bank slope stability analysis. Such data are obtained in field by embedding suction sensors slopes equilibrium time other limitations establishing not available compacted soils. Thus influence initial moisture conten...

It is proven that any deterministic hidden-variables theory, that reproduces quantum theory for a ‘quantum equilibrium’ distribution of hidden variables, must predict the existence of instantaneous signals at the statistical level for hypothetical ‘nonequilibrium ensembles’. This ‘signal-locality theorem’ generalises yet another feature of the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm, for which...

Using a con guration space approach, this paper develops a 2nd order mobility theory for a body, B, in frictionless quasi-static contact with rigid stationary bodies A1; ;Ad. This analysis ultimately leads to a coordinate invariant 2nd order mobility index, an integer that captures the inherent mobility of B in an equilibrium grasp. The 2nd order index di erentiates between grasps which are dee...

The engineering tools of choice for the computation of practical engineering flows have begun to migrate from those based on the traditional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach to methodologies capable, in theory if not in practice, of accurately predicting some instantaneous scales of motion in the flow. The migration has largely been driven by both the success of Reynolds-averaged method...
