Thin-film modelling of complex fluids and bacterial colonies

One-way ANOVA and a post hoc Holm-Sidack method test were used to detect significant differences between the mean concentrations of nutrients in excrement samples from each park,

Orphaned colonies lost a higher ratio of workers than paired queenright 363.. colonies in all but one enclosure, and overall worker loss was significantly higher for

The emergence of microdomains is mediated by two competing forces: the steric forces between neighboring cells, which favor cell alignment, and the extensile stresses due to cell

In the ideal case of a laterally confined chainlike colony of nongrowing cells subject to axial compression, the transition is entirely deterministic and the critical stress at

the physical mechanisms underpinning the mono-to- multilayer transition is still lacking, with questions far outnumbering the answers so far: 1) Does the instability result

Here, after briefly introducing the pathways of disulfide formation, we will discuss the importance of cysteine residues in the folding of three essential assembly

Here, the use of advanced analytical techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM & TEM) and scanning transmission

Chemotaxis induces a boundary layer at the colony border whose relative thickness is given by the square-root of the relative bacterial diffusion coefficient D divided by the
