Dave Lloyd is visiting the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Loughborough University today (Friday 20 May) and giving the Applied Mathematics Seminar (link here). The title of his talk is “Approximate localised dihedral patterns near a Turing instability.” Motivated by a physical experiment involving magnetic fluids, the talk will begin by explaining how axisymmetric spots […]

The 2022 Society for Research on Biological Rhythms (SRBR) Conference is being held this week (14-18 May) at the Omni Amelia Island Resort off the coast of Florida. The website for the conference is here. Anne Skeldon is attending and giving two symposium talks and a poster. Anne was one of the four invited speakers […]

The paper “Bounds on heat flux for Rayleigh–Bénard convection between Navier-slip fixed-temperature boundaries” co-authored by Theodore Drivas (Stonybrook), Huy Nguyen (Brown), and Camilla Nobili (Hamburg/Surrey) has been published in the April issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. The paper studies two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection with Navier-slip, fixed temperature boundary conditions and […]

The conference “Numerical Methods in Theoretical Physics 2022” is being held this week (16-20 May) at Asia Pacific Centre for Theoretical Physics in Pohang Korea + online (link here). Masanori Hanada is an invited speaker and is giving his virtual talk today (Monday 16 May) on “Black hole from matrices“. Matrix models can describe black […]

The EMBL/EMBO European Molecular Biology Laboratory Symposium on Mechanobiology in Development and Disease is being held at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg Germany this week (15-18 May). Josephine Solowiej-Wedderburn is attending in person and presenting a poster on “Working within constraints: a hypothesis for cellular mechanosensory feedback“. The symposium focuses on the interplay […]

The paper “Existence of localised radial patterns in a model for dryland vegetation“, with sole author Dan Hill, has been published in the IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics. The published version is here and the arXiv version is here. The paper considers stationary localised radial solutions to a reduced model for dryland vegetation on flat […]
