In this study, we propose a framework for understanding the key mechanisms which lead to central or peripheral processing of information. The framework draws particularly upon three different approaches and seeks to bring them together. We specify the moderating role of customers' motivation and...

Implicit-solvent treatments of protein folding dynamics require that we account for conformation-dependent environments surrounding intramolecular interactions. This goal may be achieved by introducing correlations that model third-body participation in the effective destabilization of...

This paper discusses a simple two-species ripple model with avalanching. The effect of the avalanching term is investigated numerically, and is found to be crucial in producing realistic ripple profiles.

Granular surface flows are common in industrial practice and natural systems, however, theoretical description of such flows is at present incomplete. Two prototype systems involving surface flow are compared: heap formation by pouring at a point and rotating cylinders. Continuum models for...
