Ecology and evolution are inseparable. Motivated by some recent experiments, we have developed models of evolutionary ecology from the perspective of dynamic networks. In these models, in addition to the intra-node dynamics, which corresponds to an individual-based population dynamics of...

Adsorption thermodynamics of interacting particles adsorbed on nanotube bundles is studied through a lattice-gas model and Monte Carlo simulations. The adsorbent is modeled as one-dimensional channels of equivalent adsorption sites arranged in a triangular cross-sectional structure. Two kinds of...

Finite size effects on the calorimetric cooperatity of the folding-unfolding transition in two-state proteins are considered using the Go lattice models with and without side chains. We show that for models without side chains a dimensionless measure of calorimetric cooperativity κ2 defined as...

After a brief review of our recent works on “unified” models of evolutionary ecology, we have generalized our “unified” model by taking into account spatial variations from one “patch” to another. We model the spatial extension of the ecosystem (i.e., the geography) by a square...

We study the statistical mechanical conditions under which segregation of racemic mixtures of chiral molecules is possible in a two-dimensional fluid model. Motivated by experimental evidence indicating that chiral hydrophilic heads of amphiphilic molecules lying in a monolayer can crystallize...

Modern computers produce large volumes of simulation results so quickly that their management becomes a formidable task. We describe interactive computer software for replicating simulation models with different parameters. A single simulation run then produces results for hundreds of models...

River flooding is a problem of international interest. In the past few years many countries suffered from severe floods. A large part of the Netherlands is below sea level and river levels. The Dutch flood defences along the river Rhine are designed for water levels with a probability of...

The study computes time-dependant earthquake probabilities on the basis of seismicity data mainly deriving from historic records. It provides a methodological approach useful for those countries where the scarcity of instrumental data and/or paleoseismological evidences requires that historical...
