# gst: dynamics and interactions of multiple bright droplets and bubbles, and interactions of kinks with droplets and with antikinks.

<< Droplets bearing different chemical potentials experience mass-exchange phenomena. Individual bubbles exhibit core expansion and mutual attraction prior to their destabilization. Droplets interacting with kinks are absorbed by them, a process accompanied by the emission of dispersive shock waves and gray solitons. Kink-antikink interactions are repulsive, generating counter-propagating shock waves. >>

# gst: transitions by coupled instabilities

AA << present an experimental study of quasiperiodic transitions between a highly ordered square-lattice pattern and a disordered, defect-riddled state, in a circular Faraday system. (They)  show that the transition is driven initially by a long-wave amplitude modulation instability, which excites the oscillatory transition phase instability, leading to the formation of dislocations in the Faraday lattice. The appearance of dislocations dampens amplitude modulations, which prevents further defects from being created and allows the system to relax back to its ordered state. The process then repeats itself in a quasiperiodic manner. >>

# gst: inertial particles within co-rotating dusty vortices

 << dispersed particles with moderate inertia cause the vortex pair to push apart to a separation nearly twice as large as the initial separation. >>

 

 << antisymmetric vorticity generated by particles flung out of the rotational cores causes the vortex pair repulsion. Eventually, the two dusty vortices merge into a single vortex with most particles accumulating outside the core similar to the dusty Lamb-Oseen vortex described in Shuai & Kasbaoui (2022) >>

 

 << For weakly inertial particles, (AA) find that the merger dynamics follow the same mechanics as those of a single-phase flow, albeit with a density that must be adjusted to match the mixture density. >>

 

<< Lastly, highly inertial particles tend to fragment the vortex cores leading to murky merger dynamics. >>

# gst: evolution of survivors compared to discrete vs continuous noise

<< Environmental variations can significantly influence how populations compete for resources, and hence shape their evolution. Here, (AA) study population dynamics subject to a fluctuating environment modeled by a varying carrying capacity changing continuously in time according to either binary random switches, or by being driven by a noise of continuous range. >>

<< the slow strain fixation probability can be greatly enhanced for a continuously varying environment compared to binary switches, even when the first two moments of the carrying capacity coincide. >>️

# brain: the sense of hearing, the sense of silence.

<< Do we only hear sounds? Or can we also hear silence? These questions are the subject of a centuries-old philosophical debate between two camps: the perceptual view (we literally hear silence), and the cognitive view (we only judge or infer silence). >>

<< In all cases (concerning seven experiments), silences elicited temporal distortions perfectly analogous to their sound-based counterparts, suggesting that auditory processing treats moments of silence the way it treats sounds. Silence is truly perceived, not merely inferred. >>️

# gst: complex flows by hairpin vortices behind hills with different scales

 << In the flow around protuberance, separation bubbles occur ahead and behind the protuberance, and a coherent vortex structure exists in the wake. In such a flow field, heat, substance, and momentum are actively transported by the vortex. (..) When multiple protuberances are set in the flow, the wakes of the protuberances interfere with each other, resulting in complicated flows. >> 

 << This study performed a numerical analysis of the hairpin vortex and heat transport generated by the interference of the wakes behind two hills in a laminar boundary layer. In the case of hills with the same scale, the interference between hairpin vortices in the wake is more intensive than in the different-scale hills. When the hills with different scales are installed, hairpin vortices with different scales are periodically shed. >> 

 

  << Regardless of the scale ratio of the hills, when the hill spacing in the spanwise direction is narrowed, the asymmetry of the hairpin vortex in the wake increases due to the interference between the wakes. At this time, the turbulence caused by the leg and the horn-shaped secondary vortex on the spanwise center side in the hairpin vortex increases, and heat transport around the hairpin vortex becomes active. >>
