We employ a parallel, three-dimensional level-set code to simulate the dynamics of isolated dislocation lines and loops in an obstacle-rich environment. This system serves as a convenient prototype of those in which extended, one-dimensional objects interact with obstacles and the out-of-plane motion of these objects is key to understanding their pinning-depinning behavior. In contrast to earlier models of dislocation motion, we incorporate long-ranged interactions among dislocation segments and obstacles to study the effect of climb on dislocation dynamics in the presence of misfitting penetrable obstacles/solutes, as embodied in an effective climb mobility. Our main observations are as follows. First, increasing climb mobility leads to more effective pinning by the obstacles, implying increased strengthening. Second, decreasing the range of interactions significantly reduces the effect of climb. The dependence of the critical stress on obstacle concentration and misfit strength is also explored and compared with existing models. In particular, our results are shown to be in reasonable agreement with the Friedel-Suzuki theory. Finally, the limitations inherent in the simplified model employed here, including the neglect of some lattice effects and the use of a coarse-grained climb mobility, are discussed.

Exact solutions to the shallow wave equation are studied based on the idea of the extended homoclinic test and bilinear method. Some explicit solutions, such as the one soliton solution, the doubly-periodic wave solution and the periodic solitary wave solutions, are obtained. In addition, the properties of the solutions are investigated.

Wavelet transforms and machine learning tools can be used to assist art experts in the stylistic analysis of paintings. A dual-tree complex wavelet transform, Hidden Markov Tree modeling and Random Forest classifiers are used here for a stylistic analysis of Vincent van Gogh's paintings with results on two stylometry challenges that concern "dating, resp. extracting distinguishing features".

The formation and dynamics of spatially extended compositional domains in multicomponent lipid membranes both in vivo and in vitro lie at the heart of many important biological and biophysical phenomena. While the thermodynamic basis for domain formation has been explored extensively in the past, the roles of membrane and exterior fluid hydrodynamics on domain formation kinetics have received less attention. A case in point is the impact of hydrodynamics on the dynamics of compositional heterogeneities in lipid membranes in the vicinity of a critical point. In this Rapid Communication it is argued that the asymptotic dynamic behavior of a lipid membrane system in the vicinity of a critical point is strongly influenced by hydrodynamic interactions. More specifically, a mode-coupling argument is developed which predicts a scaling behavior of lipid transport coefficients near the critical point for both symmetric and asymmetric bilayers immersed in a bulk fluid.

In computing the singular values of a square matrix, transformation of the input matrix to bidiagonal form accounts for most of the computation time. In this paper, we consider speeding up this process using a combination of CPU and floating-point accelerator. As an algorithm for bidiagonalization, we can use the conventional Householder's method or Bischof's two-phase algorithm, which can use the level-3 BLAS efficiently. We can also choose to store the whole matrix in the CPU memory or in the on-board memory of the accelerator. So there are four possible strategies. We investigate the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy and construct an analytical performance model for each of them. Using the models, we predict the performance of bidiagonalzation on the CSX600 accelerator and show that it is the best to achieve high performance to use Bischof's algorithm with the matrix stored in the on-board memory. This conclusion should hold for many other accelerators with similar performance characteristics.

Elementary smooth functions (beyond contact) are employed to construct pair correlation functions that mimic jammed disordered sphere packings. Using the g2-invariant optimization method of Torquato and Stillinger [J. Phys. Chem. B 106, 8354 (2002)], parameters in these functions are optimized under necessary realizability conditions to maximize the packing fraction ϕ and average number of contacts per sphere Z. A pair correlation function that incorporates the salient features of a disordered packing and that is smooth beyond contact is shown to permit a ϕ of 0.6850: this value represents a 45% reduction in the difference between the maximum for congruent hard spheres in three dimensions, π/18≈0.7405 and 0.64, the approximate fraction associated with maximally random jammed packings in three dimensions. We show that, surprisingly, the continued addition of elementary functions consisting of smooth sinusoids decaying as r−4 permits packing fractions approaching π/18. A translational order metric is used to discriminate between degrees of order in the packings presented. We find that to achieve higher packing fractions, the degree of order must increase, which is consistent with the results of a previous study [Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2064 (2000)].

Asymmetric profiles have been observed in the recombination cross section of Be-like Bi obtained by measuring the electron energy dependence of the ion abundance ratio in an electron-beam ion trap. In contrast to the previous x-ray measurements, the present measurement gives the integrated recombination cross section with higher statistical quality, which provides a benchmark to test the relativistic theory involving the interference between the resonant and continuum states. The comparison with our theoretical study shows that the Breit interaction plays an important role in this case.
