We develop and present a unified multi-scale model (involving three scales of spatial organisation) to study the dynamics of rigid aggregating particles suspended in a viscous fluid medium and subject to a steady poiseuille flow. At micro-level, the theory of adhesion describing the attachment / detachment kinetics of two rigid spheres coated with binding ligands, is utilized to describe the co...

Super-hydrophobic surfaces are bio-inspired interfaces with a superficial texture that, in its most common evolution, is formed by a periodic lattice of silicon micro-pillars. Similar surfaces reveal superior properties compared to conventional flat surfaces, including very low friction coefficients. In this work, we modified meso-porous silicon micro-pillars to incorporate networks of metal na...

This paper gives a systematic method for constructing an N-body potential, approximating the true potential, that accurately captures meso-scale behavior of the chemical or biological system using pairwise potentials coming from experimental data or ab initio methods. The meso-scale behavior is translated into logic rules for the dynamics. Each pairwise potential has an associated logic functio...

Success of migration in birds in part depends on habitat selection. Overall, it is still poorly known whether there is habitat selection amongst landbird migrants moving across landscapes. Europe is chiefly covered by agro-forestry mosaic landscapes, so migratory species associated to either agricultural landscapes or woodland habitats should theoretically find suitable stopover sites along mig...

Under global climate change, the characteristics of oceanic dynamics are gradually beginning to change due melting sea ice. This study focused on inter-annual variation in waves and mesoscale eddies (radius > 40 km) Arctic Ocean from 1993 2021. The were simulated by a numerical wave model, WAVEWATCH-III (WW3), which included parameterization ice–wave interaction. long-term wind data European...
