The Growth of Molecular Dynamics
Molecular dynamics was thus born between 1956 and 1957. Berni AlderAlder, Berni and Tom WainwrightWainwright, Thomas proved the existence of a...

Determination of horizon size in state-based peridynamics
Peridynamics is based on integro-differential equations and has a length scale parameter called horizon which gives peridynamics a non-local...

The Art of Iterating: Update-Strategies in Agent-Based Simulation
When developing a model for an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) it is very important to select the update-strategy which reflects the semantics of the...

The Privileged Life of a Theoretical Observer
This is a summary of my scientific career, biased by my personal view of events and unashamedly concentrating on those aspects of some of the...

Spin Systems on Bethe Lattices
In an extremely influential paper Mézard and Parisi put forward an analytic but non-rigorous approach called the cavity method for studying spin...

Just Listening
The chapter deals with the subjective experience of hearing and introduces themes and topics that are taken up in later chapters. It opens with a...

The multiscale physics of cilia and flagella
Cilia and flagella are fundamental units of motion in cellular biology. These beating, hair-like organelles share a common basic structure but...

Solar cycle prediction
A review of solar cycle prediction methods and their performance is given, including early forecasts for Cycle 25. The review focuses on those...

Modelling the bimodal distribution of indoor gamma-ray dose-rates in Great Britain
Gamma radiation from naturally occurring sources (including directly ionizing cosmic-rays) is a major component of background radiation. An...

Edmond Halley, Isaac Newton and the Longitude Act of 1714
In the later part of the 17th century Britain’s mariners were no more assured of their positions at sea than were her monarch’s ministers assured of...

Determination of chaotic behaviour in time series generated by charged particle motion around magnetized Schwarzschild black holes
We study behaviour of ionized region of a Keplerian disk orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole immersed in an asymptotically uniform magnetic field. In...

Small Solar System Bodies as granular media
Asteroids and other Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs) are of high general and scientific interest in many aspects. The origin, formation, and...

Inflation as an information bottleneck: a strategy for identifying universality classes and making robust predictions
In this work we propose a statistical approach to handling sources of theoretical uncertainty in string theory models of inflation. By viewing a...

After the Lips: Acoustic Resonances and Radiation
In this chapter describes the resonant properties of the air column contained within a brass instrument and the nature of the sound radiated from it....

Scale-Free Correlations, Influential Neighbours and Speed Control in Flocks of Birds
Coordination of birds in large flocks is amazing, especially, since individual birds only interact with a few neighbors (the so-called ‘influential...

Learning with Quantum Models
The last two chapters were mainly concerned with the translation of known machine learning models and optimisation techniques into quantum algorithms...
