<< Vortex filaments in classical and quantum fluids and DNA macromolecules, magnetic flux tubes, phase defects, polymers may interact and recombine through reconnection of neighboring strands. Details of the process depend on specific local mechanisms that may differ from case to case, but certain qualitative features — such as the preservation of the original strand orientation after recombination — are generic and common to all systems. >>
<< The study of these processes is clearly of great importance, because the change of topology is often accompanied by a change in energy, entropy and function. >>

<< Sleep has been described in animals ranging from worms to humans. Yet the electrophysiological characteristics of brain sleep, such as slow-wave (SW) and rapid eye movement (REM) activities, are thought to be restricted to mammals and birds. Recording from the brain of a lizard, the Australian dragon Pogona vitticeps, we identified SW and REM sleep patterns, thus pushing back the probable evolution of these dynamics at least to the emergence of amniotes. The SW and REM sleep patterns that we observed in lizards oscillated continuously for 6 to 10 hours with a period of ~80 seconds. >>
