We introduce a single-cell based simulation model of biofilm growth. Each microbial cell is modelled as an autonomous … difference. The model is complemented by key features such as the explicit presence of nutrient diffusion and flow, the processes … grows. Tuning the parameters of the model can lead to the growth and maturation of various types of biofilms. In this first …

This paper presents classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of an aluminum slab under a premelting condition. The … aluminum surface is set at the (110) orientation. We have used a simple analytical form of an embedded-atom-method (EAM …) potential to describe the inter-atomic interactions of the aluminum atoms. The results from our study are compared with those …

Minkowski functionals constitute a family of order parameters which discriminate spatial patterns according to size, shape, and connectivity. Here we point out that these scalar descriptors can be complemented by vector-valued curvature measures also known as Quermaß vectors. Using examples of...

We show how to differentiate between the alternatives based on a … finite set of observations. To test these ideas we show how model parameters may be calibrated based on limited samples of …
