Kamien Phys. Rev. E 108, 030001 (2023) – Published 25 September 2023   Featured in Physics Packing spheres in high dimensions with moderate computational effort Veit Elser Phys. Rev. E 108, 034117 (2023) – Published 21 September 2023 Synopsis:Packing Spheres in High Dimensions An algorithm originally developed for imaging generates useful data for a problem in pure mathematics.     Editors' Suggestion Mesoscopic critical fluctuations Saikat Banerjee and Nikolai A. Sinitsyn Phys. Rev. E 108, 034212 (2023) – Published 21 September 2023 A system can be made to show critical behavior in a mesoscopic region by introducing a smooth spatial variation of a control parameter around its critical value. The authors investigate this situation using a minimal model based on the Ginzburg-Landau effective free-energy approach.     Editors' Suggestion Microtubule search-and-capture model evaluates the effect of chromosomal volume conservation on spindle assembly during mitosis Pinaki Nayak, Saptarshi Chatterjee, and Raja Paul Phys. Rev. E 108, 034401 (2023) – Published 1 September 2023 The authors study computationally how the speed and accuracy of mitotic spindle assembly depend on several parameters, such as chromosome number and volume and cell size and shape. This work is a step toward understanding the large variation in chromosome number found in some closely related species.     Editors' Suggestion Evolutionary dynamics in non-Markovian models of microbial populations Farshid Jafarpour, Ethan Levien, and Ariel Amir Phys. Rev. E 108, 034402 (2023) – Published 5 September 2023 The evolution of a population of microbes is influenced by features of single-cell growth and division processes. The authors observe that fluctuations in the cells' division rate affect the long-term evolution of the population.       American Physical Society: 1 Physics Ellipse, College Park, MD 20740 ©2023 American Physical Society | All rights reserved   You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to Table of Content alerts.
