Abstract. Most landscape evolution models adopt the paradigm of constant and uniform uplift. It results that the role of fault activity and earthquakes on landscape building is understood under simplistic boundary conditions. Here, we develop a numerical model to investigate river profile development subjected to fault displacement by earthquakes and erosion. The model generates earthquakes, including mainshocks and aftershocks, that respect the classical scaling laws observed for earthquakes. The distribution of seismic and aseismic slip can be partitioned following a spatial distribution of

In this joint theoretical, numerical and experimental study, we investigate the phenomenon of forced generation of nonlinear waves by disturbances moving steadily with a transcritical velocity through a layer of shallow water. The plane motion considered here is modelled by the generalized Boussinesq equations and the forced Korteweg-de Vries (fKdV) equation, both of which admit two types of forcing agencies in the form of an external surface pressure and a bottom topography. Numerical results are obtained using both theoretical models for the two types of forcings. These results illustrate th

Abstract:
The chapter traces the development of mandatory family protection from Roman law through the ius commune to the modern civilian codifications. The Justinianic reform of 542 AD having failed to streamline and simplify the rules of classical Roman law, it was left to the draftsmen of the codifications from the end of the eighteenth century onwards to tackle that task. Particularly influential were the French Code civil of 1804 and the Austrian Civil Code of 1811. Germany adopted the Austrian model of a ‘compulsory portion’ (ie a personal claim for the value of a part of the estate). Elsewhere the French model of ‘forced heirship’ (part of the testator’s property is reserved to his closest relatives) was extremely influential, although in modern times some of the Romanistic countries have changed from forced heirship to compulsory portion. The chapter also considers the post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the Nordic countries, and the codifications in the Americas. A number of lines of development can be traced in comparative perspective, among them a tendency to weaken the position of the deceased’s closest family members (by granting them merely a personal claim in money rather than the position of co-heirs, by reducing the quotas to which they are entitled, and by drawing the range of the deceased’s relatives entitled to mandatory protection more narrowly). The surviving spouse’s position, on the other hand, has been strengthened. Characteristic for a number of civilian legal systems is the endeavour in various ways to render to law of mandatory family protection more flexible. The implementation of the concept of a needs-based claim for maintenance is one of the devices attesting to the quest for increased flexibility.

Abstract:
Fredkin’s Billiard Ball Model (BBM) is a continuous classical mechanical model of computation based on the elastic collisions of identical finite-diameter hard spheres. When the BBM is initialized appropriately, the sequence of states that appear at successive integer time steps is equivalent to a discrete digital dynamics. Here we discuss some models of computation that are based on the elastic collisions of identical finite-diameter soft spheres: spheres which are very compressible and hence take an appreciable amount of time to bounce off each other. Because of this extended impact period, these Soft Sphere Models (SSMs) correspond directly to simple lattice gas automata—unlike the fast-impact BBM. Successive time steps of an SSM lattice gas dynamics can be viewed as integer-time snapshots of a continuous physical dynamics with a finite-range soft-potential interaction. We present both two-dimensional and three-dimensional models of universal CAs of this type, and then discuss spatially efficient computation using momentum conserving versions of these models (i.e., without fixed mirrors). Finally, we discuss the interpretation of these models as relativistic and as semiclassical systems, and extensions of these models motivated by these interpretations. Cellular automata (CA) are spatial computations. They imitate the locality and uniformity of physical law in a stylized digital format. The finiteness of the information density and processing rate in a CA dynamics is also physically realistic. These connections with physics have been exploited to construct CA models of spatial processes in Nature and to explore artificial “toy” universes. The discrete and uniform spatial structure of CA computations also makes it possible to “crystallize” them into efficient hardware [17, 21]. Here we will focus on CAs as realistic spatial models of ordinary (nonquantum- coherent) computation. As Fredkin and Banks pointed out [2], we can demonstrate the computing capability of a CA dynamics by showing that certain patterns of bits act like logic gates, like signals, and like wires, and that we can put these pieces together into an initial state that, under the dynamics, exactly simulates the logic circuitry of an ordinary computer.

This chapter begins by considering the Maynard Smith model. Much of this work concentrated on the genetic mechanisms for assortative mating and reproductive isolation, based on the assumption that the underlying niche ecology would generate disruptive selection. However, understanding the conditions under which disruptive selection arises in the first place is equally important, and indeed necessary for assessing whether diversification is a general outcome in the Maynard Smith model. The chapter then shows that disruptive selection and polymorphism are scenarios that occur generically, that is, for a wide range of parameters, in a classical and widely used speciation model. It also provides an introduction to some of the basic concepts of adaptive dynamics theory.

Abstract:
In a generic quantum mechanical description of a molecule interacting with its thermal environment, the molecule is represented as a few level system (in the simplest description just two, for example, ground and excited states) and the environment is often modeled as a bath of harmonic oscillators. The resulting theoretical framework is known as the spin–boson model, a term that seems to have emerged in the Kondo problem literature (which deals with the behavior of magnetic impurities in metals) during the 1960s, but is now used in a much broader context. Indeed, it has become one of the central models of theoretical physics, with applications in physics, chemistry, and biology that range far beyond the subject of this book. Transitions between molecular electronic states coupled to nuclear vibrations, environmental phonons, and photon modes of the radiation field fall within this class of problems. The present chapter discusses this model and some of its mathematical implications. The reader may note that some of the subjects discussed in Chapter 9 are reiterated here in this more general framework. In Sections 2.2 and 2.9 we have discussed the dynamics of the two-level system and of the harmonic oscillator, respectively. These exactly soluble models are often used as prototypes of important classes of physical system. The harmonic oscillator is an exact model for a mode of the radiation field and provides good starting points for describing nuclear motions in molecules and in solid environments. It can also describe the short-time dynamics of liquid environments via the instantaneous normal mode approach. In fact, many linear response treatments in both classical and quantum dynamics lead to harmonic oscillator models: Linear response implies that forces responsible for the return of a system to equilibrium depend linearly on the deviation from equilibrium—a harmonic oscillator property! We will see a specific example of this phenomenology in our discussion of dielectric response in Section 16.9.

Abstract:
This chapter takes a look at Orlando Furioso (1516, 1532), Gerusalemme Liberata (1581), and The Faerie Queene (1596), which are the recognized epic masterpieces of their eras. They draw in succession on each other and on a wide range of classical and romance texts, many of them known to the first audiences of these three poems. The chapter investigates the ways in which Ludovico Ariosto, Torquato Tasso, and Edmund Spenser used their predecessors and the different effects they achieved from a shared heritage. It examines the ways in which a series of authors used both their immediate predecessors and their sense of a long tradition of epic writing to create something new. The chapter argues that Ariosto aimed to shock and surprise his audience. Tasso reacted to Ariosto by combining a more serious and unified epic on the lines of the Iliad. Spenser's idea of devoting each book to a hero and a virtue presents a structure which is easier to comprehend than Ariosto's, yet looser and more open to surprises than Tasso's.

Abstract:
The gill- and siphon-withdrawal reflex of Aplysia is a simple defensive behavior that is mediated in part by a monosynaptic pathway. Despite this remarkable simplicity, the reflex can be modified by several forms of learning, including habituation, dishabituation, sensitization, and classical and operant conditioning. The forms of learning that have been explored in research studies exhibit many of the behavioral properties of learning in mammals, suggesting that they may involve similar neuronal mechanisms. In 1984, we proposed cellular mechanisms for several higher-order features of conditioning and incorporated those ideas in a quantitative model that simulated a broad range of behavioral properties. In this chapter, we summarize the current body of knowledge about the behavior, circuitry, and cellular and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory of the reflex. We then review our original model and suggest how recent advances may explain some of the behavioral properties that this model could not.

Abstract:
The Boltzmann-Gibbs formulation of equilibrium statistical mechanics depends crucially on the nature of the Hamiltonian of the JV-body system under study, but this fact is clearly stated only in the introductions of textbooks and, in general, it is very soon neglected. In particular, the very same basic postulate of equilibrium statistical mechanics, the famous Boltzmann principle S = k log W of the microcanonical ensemble, assumes that dynamics can be automatically an easily taken into account, although this is not always justified, as Einstein himself realized [20]. On the other hand, the Boltzmann-Gibbs canonical ensemble is valid only for sufficiently short-range interactions and does not necessarily apply, for example, to gravitational or unscreened Colombian fields for which the usually assumed entropy extensivity postulate is not valid [5]. In 1988, Constantino Tsallis proposed a generalized thermostatistics formalism based on a nonextensive entropic form [24]. Since then, this new theory has been encountering an increasing number of successful applications in different fields (for some recent examples see Abe and Suzuki [1], Baldovin and Robledo [4], Beck et al. [8], Kaniadakis et al. [12], Latora et al. [16], and Tsallis et al. [25]) and seems to be the best candidate for a generalized thermodynamic formalism which should be valid when nonextensivity, long-range correlations, and fractal structures in phase space cannot be neglected: in other words, when the dynamics play a nontrivial role [11] and fluctuations are quite large and non-Gaussian [6, 7, 8, 24, 26]. In this contribution we consider a nonextensive JV-body classical Hamiltonian system, with infinite range interaction, the so-called Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model, which has been intensively studied in the last several years [3, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19]. The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the model exhibits a series of anomalies like negative specific heat, metastable states, vanishing Lyapunov exponents, and non-Gaussian velocity distributions. After a brief overview of these anomalies, we show how they can be interpreted in terms of nonextensive thermodynamics according to the present understanding.

Abstract:
The dynamics of a generic rigid water-landing object (WLO) during water impact is presented in this paper. Tests from a range of drop heights were performed in a wave basin using a 1/6th-Froude scale model of a practical prototype using different drop mechanisms to determine the water impact and contact effects. The first experimental case involved dropping the WLO by using a rope and pulley arrangement, while the second case employed an electromagnetic release to drop the object. Hydrodynamic parameters including peak acceleration, touchdown pressure and maximum impact/contact force were meas

Abstract:
Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method models have been demonstrated to provide an accurate representation of the flow characteristics in rarefied flows. Conditions in such flows are characterized by the Knudsen number (Kn), defined as the ratio between the gas molecular Mean Free Path ( MFP, λ) and the device characteristic length (L). As the Knudsen number increases, the behavior of the flow near the walls is increasingly dominated by interactions between the gas molecules and the solid surface. Due to this, linear constitutive relations for shear stress and heat flux, which are assumed in the Navier

Abstract:
In the structural dynamics design process of turbomachines, Coriolis effects are usually neglected. This assumption holds true if no pronounced interaction between the shaft and disk occurs or if the radial blade displacements are negligible. For classical rotordynamic investigations or for machines where the disk is comparatively thin or weak, Coriolis effects as well as centrifugal effects like stress stiffening and spin softening have to be taken into account. For the analysis of complex structures the finite element method is today the most commonly used modeling approach. To handle the nu

Abstract This paper uses a familiar classical mechanism, the pantograph, to demonstrate the utility of the pseudo-rigid-body model in the design of compliant mechanisms to replace rigid-link mechanisms, and to illustrate the advantages and limitations of the resulting compliant mechanisms. To demonstrate the increase in design flexibility, three different compliant mechanism configurations were developed for a single corresponding rigid-link mechanism. The rigid-link pantograph consisted of six links and seven joints, while the corresponding compliant mechanisms had no more than two links and

Abstract:
An extension of the classical Wheeler’s method is here presented and validated. Just as the Wheeler’s method, it relies solely on the measurement of surface elevation in a point to make predictions of the wave induced loads. These measurements may be made in the field, but more often they will be generated in a laboratory wave basin. The classical Wheeler stretching plus Morison load model is augmented by a slamming load model for steep near-breaking and breaking waves, based on work published earlier by Nestegård et.al. (2004). The new model thereby spans the entire range from non-breaking wa

Abstract While automation technologies advance faster than ever, gaps of resilience capabilities between autonomous and human-operated systems have not yet been identified and addressed appropriately. To date, there exists no generic framework for resilience assessment that is applicable to a broad spectrum of domains or able to take into account the impacts on mission-scenario-level resilience from system-specific attributes. In the proposed framework, resilience is meant to describe the ability of a system, in an open range of adverse scenarios, to maintain normal operating conditions or to

Abstract:
Mature red blood cell (RBC) consists of cytoplasm, mainly normal hemoglobin (HbA) within a plasma membrane. In sickle cell disease, abnormal sickle hemoglobin (HbS) molecule polymerizes and forms into rigid fibers at low oxygen tension, which contributes to variation in the biophysical properties of sickle cells from healthy RBCs. This paper presents an electrical equivalent circuit (EEC) model of sickle cell that considers the phase transition of oxy-HbS solution to deoxy-HbS polymers. Briefly, we model the oxy-HbS solution following healthy RBCs using a resistor and deoxy-HbS fibers as a cap

Several analytical models exist to predict droplet impact behavior on superhydrophobic surfaces. However, no previous model has rigorously considered the effect of surface slip on droplet spreading and recoiling that is inherent in many superhydrophobic surfaces. This paper presents an analytical model that takes into account surface slip at the solid-fluid interface during droplet deformation. The effects of slip are captured in terms that model the kinetic energy and viscous dissipation and are compared to a classical energy conservation model given by Attane et al. and experimental data fro

Ours is an age of pervasive political turbulence, and the scale of the challenge requires new thinking on politics as well as public ethics for our world. In Western countries, the specter of Islamophobia, alt-right populism, along with racialized violence has shaken public confidence in long-secure assumptions rooted in democracy, diversity, and citizenship. The tragic denouement of so many of the Arab uprisings together with the ascendance of apocalyptic extremists like Daesh and Boko Haram have caused an even greater sense of alarm in large parts of the Muslim-majority world.
