Mechanics of three-dimensional microenvironments of cells

Creator:: Jones, Christopher
Abstract:: The structure and mechanics of tissues affect many important cellular functions such as migration, differentiation, and growth. Mechanical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as ECM-mediated mechanical communication between cells, plays a part in coordinating collective cellular dy- namics during critical processes such as morphogenesis, tissue...

Discrete-time quantum walk with two-step memory

Creator:: Jones, Christopher
Abstract:: We examine a discrete-time quantum walk with two-step memory for a particle on a one- dimensional infinite space. The walk is defined with a four-state memory space analogous to the two-state coin space commonly used in discrete time quantum walks, and a method is presented for calculating the time evolution...

Three-Dimensional Reflectance Traction Microscopy

Creator:: Kim, Jihan, Jones, Christopher A. R., Groves, Nicholas Scott, and Sun, Bo
Abstract:: Cells in three-dimensional (3D) environments exhibit very different biochemical and biophysical phenotypes compared to the behavior of cells in two-dimensional (2D) environments. As an important biomechanical measurement, 2D traction force microscopy can not be directly extended into 3D cases. In order to quantitatively characterize the contraction field, we have developed...

Tracking beaked whales with a passive acoustic profiler float

Creator:: Matsumoto, Haru, Jones, Christopher, Klinck, Holger, Mellinger, David K., Dziak, Robert P., and Meinig, Christian
Abstract:: Acoustic methods are frequently used to monitor endangered marine mammal species. Advantages of acoustic methods over visual ones include the ability to detect submerged animals, to work at night, and to work in any weather conditions. A relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use acoustic float, the QUEphone, was developed by converting a...

Micromechanics of cellularized biopolymer networks

Creator:: Jones, Christopher A. R., Cibula, Matthew, Feng, Jingchen, Krnacik, Emma A., McIntyre, David H., Levine, Herbert, and Sun, Bo
Abstract:: Collagen gels are widely used in experiments on cell mechanics because they mimic the extracellular matrix in physiological conditions. Collagen gels are often characterized by their bulk rheology; however, variations in the collagen fiber microstructure and cell adhesion forces cause the mechanical properties to be inhomogeneous at the cellular scale....

Objective Determination of Feature Resolution in Two Sea Surface Temperature Analyses

Creator:: Reynolds, Richard W., Chelton, Dudley B., Roberts-Jones, Jonah, Martin, Matthew J., Menemenlis, Dimitris, and Merchant, Christopher John
Abstract:: Considerable effort is presently being devoted to producing high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analyses with a goal of spatial grid resolutions as low as 1 km. Because grid resolution is not the same as feature resolution, a method is needed to objectively determine the resolution capability and accuracy of SST...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Cloud Cover and Fog Inundation in Coastal California: Ecological Implications

Creator:: Rastogi, Bharat, Williams, A. Park, Fischer, Douglas T., Iacobellis, Sam F., McEachern, Kathryn, Carvalho, Leila, Jones, Charles, Baguskas, Sara A., and Still, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The presence of low-lying stratocumulus clouds and fog has been known to modify biophysical and ecological properties in coastal California where forests are frequently shaded by low-lying clouds or immersed in fog during otherwise warm and dry summer months. Summer fog and stratus can ameliorate summer drought stress and enhance...

The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water

Vargas, Lowman, Aidamalia Vargas, Viala, Severine, Richards, Stephen, and Khila, Abderrahman
Abstract:: Background: Having conquered water surfaces worldwide, the semi-aquatic bugs occupy ponds, streams, lakes, mangroves, and even open oceans. The diversity of this group has inspired a range of scientific studies from ecology and evolution to developmental genetics and hydrodynamics of fluid locomotion. However, the lack of a representative water strider...
