# gst: inertia onset in disordered porous media flow.

AA << investigate the very onset of the inertial regime in pore-scale fluid flow in a three-dimensional, disordered porous media. >>️

Their << analysis shows that the onset of inertia observed in a standard way by computing the friction factor appears at a Reynolds number two orders of magnitude higher than indicated by analyzing tortuosity and spatial distribution of kinetic energy. >>️

# ethno: cross-cultural comparison of rhythm priors in 15 countries.

<< Music is present in every known society but varies from place to place. What, if anything, is universal to music cognition? (AA) measured a signature of mental representations of rhythm in 39 participant groups in 15 countries, spanning urban societies and Indigenous populations. >>️

Their << results suggest a common feature of music cognition: discrete rhythm ‘categories’ at small-integer ratios. These discrete representations plausibly stabilize musical systems in the face of cultural transmission but interact with culture-specific traditions to yield the diversity that is evident when mental representations are probed across many cultures. >>️

# gst: Lévy flights and Lévy walks under stochastic resetting.

<< Stochastic resetting is a protocol of starting anew, which can be used to facilitate the escape kinetics. (AA)  demonstrate that restarting can accelerate the escape kinetics from a finite interval restricted by two absorbing boundaries also in the presence of heavy-tailed, Lévy-type, α

-stable noise. However, the width of the domain where resetting is beneficial depends on the value of the stability index α determining the power-law decay of the jump length distribution. For heavier (smaller α) distributions, the domain becomes narrower in comparison to lighter tails. >>

<< Additionally, (AA) explore connections between Lévy flights (LFs) and Lévy walks (LWs) in the presence of stochastic resetting. First of all, (They) show that for Lévy walks, the stochastic resetting can also be beneficial in the domain where the coefficient of variation is smaller than 1. Moreover, (They) demonstrate that in the domain where LWs are characterized by a finite mean jump duration (length), with the increasing width of the interval, the LWs start to share similarities with LFs under stochastic resetting. >>️

# gst: apropos of synchronization of large bubble clouds, self-oscillating acoustic bubbles that bounce

<< Self-oscillations underlie many natural phenomena such as heartbeat, ocean waves, and the pulsation of variable stars. (..) In this study, (AA) consider two closely spaced bubbles pulsating in the kHz range in response to ultrasonic excitation. A translational bouncing motion emerges from their interaction with a much lower frequency than the bubble pulsation frequency. >>

Their analysis << reveals that the observed bubble bouncing exhibits the main features of self-oscillation, such as negative damping and the emergence of a limit cycle. These results highlight unexpected nonlinear effects in the field of microbubbles and give insights into the understanding of synchronization in large bubble clouds. >>️

# gst: apropos of collective behaviors, a visual model to reproduces swarming, schooling, and milling.

<< Animal collective behavior is often modeled with self-propelled particles, assuming each individual has “omniscient” knowledge of its neighbors. Yet, neighbors may be hidden from view and we do not know the effect of this information loss. To address this question, (AA) propose a visual model of collective behavior where each particle moves according to bioplausible visual cues, in particular the optic flow. This visual model successfully reproduces three classical collective behaviors: swarming (no orientational order), schooling (high orientational order), and milling (the group coordinately swirls in a circular pattern). >>️

# gst: evolving disorder and chaos induces acceleration of elastic waves.

<< Static or frozen disorder, characterised by spatial heterogeneities, influences diverse complex systems, encompassing many-body systems, equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter, intricate network topologies, biological systems, and wave-matter interactions. >>

AA << investigate elastic wave propagation in a one-dimensional heterogeneous medium with diagonal disorder. (They) examine two types of complex elastic materials: one with static disorder, where mass density randomly varies in space, and the other with evolving disorder, featuring random variations in both space and time. (AA) results indicate that evolving disorder enhances the propagation speed of Gaussian pulses compared to static disorder. Additionally, (They) demonstrate that the acceleration effect also occurs when the medium evolves chaotically rather than randomly over time. The latter establishes that evolving randomness is not a unique prerequisite for observing wavefront acceleration, introducing the concept of chaotic acceleration in complex media. >>️
