Microtubules (MTs) are cytoskeletal protein polymers orchestrating a host of important cellular functions including, but not limited to, cell support, cell division, cell motility and cell transport. We construct a toy-model of the MT lattice composed of classical vector Ising spins (dipole...

The boards of large corporations sharing some of their directors are connected in complex networks. Boards are responsible for corporations' long-term strategy and are often involved in decisions about a common topic related to the belief in economical growth or recession. We are interested in...

The nature of the dynamics of opinion formation or zero-temperature Ising models modeled as a decision-by-majority process in complex networks is investigated using eigenmode analysis. The Hamiltonian of the system is defined and estimated by eigenvectors of the adjacency matrix constructed from...

We consider a tapping dynamics, analogous to that in experiments on granular media, on the simple one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model. When unperturbed, the system undergoes a single spin flip falling dynamics where only energy lowering moves occur. With this dynamics the system has an...

Despite spectacular progress in biophysics, molecular biology and biochemistry our ability to predict the dynamic behavior of multicellular systems under different conditions is very limited. An important reason for this is that still not enough is known about how cells change their physical and...

An earlier study [24] concluded, based on computer simulations and some inferences from empirical data, that languages will change the more slowly the larger the population gets. We replicate this study using a more complete language model for simulations (the Schulze model combined with a...

We introduce Network Automata, a framework which couples the topological evolution of a network to its structure. To demonstrate its implementation we describe a simple model which exhibits behavior similar to the "Game of Life" before recasting some simple, well-known network models as Network...
