Open AccessThe Emergence of Complexity from a Simple Model for Tissue Growth
The growth of living tissue is known to be modulated by mechanical as well as biochemical signals. We study a simple numerical model where the tissue growth rate depends on a chemical potential describing bioc...

The Heterogeneous Mineral Content of Bone—Using Stochastic Arguments and Simulations to Overcome Experimental Limitations
On a sub-millimeter length scale, bone is a very heterogeneous material with varying mineral content. This heterogeneity can be measured by quantitative backscattered electron imaging (qBEI) and quantified by ...

Growth of Ordered Domains in a Computer Model Alloy with Lattice Misfit
We study via Monte Carlo simulations the influence of elastic interactions on the ordering and decomposition of a two-dimensional model binary alloy with antiferromagnetic nearest and ferromagnetic next neares...
