TechnionOrganizer Department of Physics of Complex SystemsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about How order emerges from disorder is one of the fascinating qu...» How order emerges from disorder is one of the fascinating questions in biophysics. In this context, we study the dynamics of cell populations exhibiting universal distributions of protein content and slow collective modes spanning a wide range of time scales. Moreover, our recent experiments show that the growth dynamics of cell populations under challenging conditions, do not obey the conventional population-selection paradigm in which the fastest growing cells take over exponentially fast. Although far from being conclusive, I will attempt in this talk to integrate these different aspects of cell populations into a single conceptual framework of population dynamics. Some features of these dynamics can be demonstrated by a toy model of random organization; randomly colliding particles relaxing into an absorbing state, connecting the intracellular complexity to the population level.

Gamma Ray Bursts and the Birth of Black Holes

NASA/GSFCOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful explosions, visible to ...» Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful explosions, visible to high redshift, and thought to be the signature of black hole formation. The Swift observatory has been detecting 100 bursts per year for 8 years and has greatly stimulated the field with new findings. Obser-vations are made of the X-ray and optical afterglow from ~1 minute after the burst, con-tinuing for days. Evidence is building that the long and short duration subcategories of GRBs have very different origins: massive star core collapse to a black hole for long bursts and binary neutron star coalescence to a black hole for short bursts. The similarity to Type II and Ia supernovae originating from young and old stellar progenitors is striking. Bursts are providing a new tool to study the high redshift universe. Swift has detected several events at z>5 and one at z=9.4 giving metallicity measurements and other data on galaxies at previously inaccessible distances. The talk will present the latest results from Swift on GRBs and other explosive events in the universe.

Some theoretical advancements and improved conceptions in ocean wave shoaling and wave-current interactions

Understanding the free-surface flow regime in oceans, seas and other water basins is of high importance to various applications. These applications include: sea state forecasting, climate and weather research, oceanographic research, coastal and off-shore engineering, environmental modeling, ecological and ecosystem modeling and so on. Surface gravity waves, specifically, play a crucial role in both deep water and near-shore flows. Currently, surface wave forecasting models, which are adequate for large-scale domains, do not account for some important physical phenomena. The seminar will present progress in two significant physical processes of ocean surface waves. These processes will be nonlinear wave shoaling and the wave-current interactions.
In order to address an audience with various backgrounds, some basic concepts of wave propagation will be discussed, and the main mechanism for near-shore nonlinear energy transfer will be explained in a simplistic manner. An improved conception for wave shoaling, which can be contrary to what linear wave shoaling intuition would indicate, will be presented. Numerical solutions of simplistic nonlinear wave shoaling problems will be used for explaining the involved physical mechanisms.
The part on wave-current interactions will first discuss vertically-averaged currents. Advancements in modeling the interactions of waves with strong as well as faster changing vertically averaged currents will be presented. Second, vertically-structured currents will be investigated. In recent years the capability of circulation models has significantly improved reproducing the vertical variability of ocean flows. Further advancements have coupled forecasting models to circulation ones. Still, the wave-action equation used in forecasting models accounts only to vertically averaged currents requiring the averaging of the circulation models' results. A wave-action equation that overcome this shortcoming will be presented and discussed.
