Abstract The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is one of the most-studied nonlinear
equations in the physics community. It describes a vast variety of phenomena from nonlinear …

Cardiac fibrillation (spontaneous, asynchronous contractions of cardiac muscle fibres) is the
leading cause of death in the industrialized world, yet it is not clear how it occurs. It has been …

Wave propagation in ventricular muscle is rendered highly anisotropic by the intramural
rotation of the fiber. This rotational anisotropy is especially important because it can produce …

Aggregation is a common behavior by which groups of organisms arrange into cohesive
groups. Whether suspended in the air (like honey bee clusters), built on the ground (such as …

Noise and time-delays are ubiquitous in physical and biological systems. In this paper, the
multiple time-delays coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) models is employed to investigate …

The chimera state is a recently discovered dynamical phenomenon in arrays of nonlocally
coupled oscillators, that displays a self-organized spatial pattern of coexisting coherence …

Patterns are everywhere in nature-in the ranks of clouds in the sky, the stripes of an
angelfish, the arrangement of petals in flowers. Where does this order and regularity come …

A reference and text, Dissipative Phenomena treats the broadly applicable area of
nonequilibrium statistical physics and concentrates the modelling and characterization of …

Cardiac reentrant arrhythmias may be examined by using time-series analysis, where a
state variable is plotted against the same variable with an embedded time delay τ to form a …

Gap junctions (GJs) formed of connexin (Cx) protein are the main conduits of electrical
signals in the heart. Studies indicate that the transitional zone of the atrioventricular (AV) …
