In this paper we describe some recent results on equilibrium wetting and contact angles and on the dynamics of wetting. We discuss analytically a model with Langevin dynamics and study another model with stochastic dynamics using computer simulation techniques. Both models exhibit a precursor...

In this paper, we study a fourth order semilinear parabolic equation on the infinite real line. We show that in a certain parameter range, this equation has propagating front solutions (solutions tending to 0 at + ∞ and advancing to the right with a speed c) which leave behind them a periodic...

Microalgae are considered as one of the potential major source of biofuel for the future. However, their environmental benefit is still unclear and many scientific publications provide contradictory results. Here we perform the Life Cycle Assessment of the production and combustion of 1 MJ of...

The aim of this paper is to explain why Statistical Physics can help understanding two related linguistic questions. The first question is how to model first language acquisition by a child. The second question is how language change proceeds in time.

We consider a discrete-time ergodic Markov chain on a partially ordered state space and study the stochastic comparison between its invariant measure and some measures related with the behaviour of the chain conditioned to avoid a decreasing subset of the state space. We also study the situation...
