Approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral by a trapezoidal quadrature rule with applications
Abstract. In this paper we provide sharp bounds for the error in approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral R b a f (t) du (t) by the trapezoidal rule f (a) + f (b) 2 [u (b) u (a...

Micro-swimmers with hydrodynamic interactions
The low-Reynolds number motions of Purcell’s three-link swimmer, and of a closely-related two-paddle swimmer, are investigated and compared using slender-body theory and resisti...

Could cell membranes produce acoustic streaming? Making the case for Synechococcus self-propulsion
Sir James Lighthill proposed in 1992 that acoustic streaming occurs in the inner ear, as part of the cochlear amplifier mechanism. Here we hypothesize that some of the most ancien...

The shape of the polymerization rate in the prion equation
We consider a polymerization (fragmentation) model with size-dependent parameters involved in prion proliferation. Using power laws for the different rates of this model, we reco...

Circadian rhythm and cell population growth
Molecular circadian clocks, that are found in all nucleated cells of mammals, are known to dictate rhythms of approximately 24 hours (circa diem) to many physiological processes. ...

The Das-Moser commutator closure for filtering through a boundary is well-posed
When filtering through a wall with constant averaging radius, in addition to the subfilter scale stresses, a non-closed commutator term arises. We consider a proposal of Das and ...
