Chimera states in the systems of coupled identical oscillators are spatiotemporal patterns in which different groups of oscillators can exhibit coexisting synchronous and incoherent behaviors despite homogeneous coupling. Although these states are typically observed in large ensembles of oscillators, recently it has been suggested that chimera states may occur in the systems with small numbers ...

SUMMARY ViewDock TDW is a modification of the pre-existing ViewDock Chimera extension (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/) used to visualize results of virtual screening experiments. By combing TDW hardware and an enhanced ViewDock interface, dozens of ligand-protein complexes are rendered simultaneously to parallelize the analysis of candidate ligands. The ViewDock TDW GUI allows the user to eas...

We discuss the basic principles of a re ective representation of ap plication schemas using a subset of Chimera We show how appli cation schemas can be modelled as a set of Chimera objects when an appropriate meta schema has been de ned The semantics of schema evolution can then be de ned by mapping schema updates to sequences of object manipulation commands This mapping can again be realized u...

For a network of generic oscillators with nonlocal topology and symmetry-breaking coupling we establish novel partially coherent inhomogeneous spatial patterns, which combine the features of chimera states (coexisting incongruous coherent and incoherent domains) and oscillation death (oscillation suppression), which we call "chimera death". We show that due to the interplay of nonlocality and b...

A chimera state is a spatiotemporal pattern in which a network of identical coupled oscillators exhibits coexisting regions of asynchronous and synchronous oscillation. Two distinct classes of chimera states have been shown to exist: "spots" and "spirals." Here we study coupled oscillators on the surface of a sphere, a single system in which both spot and spiral chimera states appear. We presen...

In this paper we describe how Chimera active rules are implemented in the testbed developed at Politecnico di Milano. Chimera is a database language that integrates object oriented, active and deductive modeling features. Chimera active rule language is very rich, since it provides the integration of object orientation and the availability of alternative semantics. The aim of this paper is to s...

A remarkable phenomenon in spatiotemporal dynamical systems is chimera state, where the structurally and dynamically identical oscillators in a coupled networked system spontaneously break into two groups, one exhibiting coherent motion and another incoherent. This phenomenon was typically studied in the setting of non-local coupling configurations. We ask what can happen to chimera states unde...

The advent of smartphones and Internet tablets provides unique opportunities for running large-scale, insitu experiments in the wild. However, the steep learning curve of building mobile applications makes it difficult for researchers in most fields to design and deploy cognitive, behavioral, and social experiments on mobile platforms. Inspired by contextual inquiries with domain researchers an...

Chimera is the name of a new data model as well as the name of the corresponding database sublanguage The model is an object oriented one based on a rather standard view of the key notions such as object value class type inheritance and overriding Chimera does not only support operations and integrity constraints but in addition provides deductive and active rules as modeling features for advan...

A "chimera state" is a dynamical pattern that occurs in a network of coupled identical oscillators when the symmetry of the oscillator population is broken into synchronous and asynchronous parts. We report the experimental observation of chimera and cluster states in a network of four globally coupled chaotic opto-electronic oscillators. This is the minimal network that can support chimera sta...
