TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey Rayleigh-Taylor instability, describing the phenomenology that occurs at a Taylor unstable interface, and reviewing attempts to understand these phenomena quantitatively, and present a survey of the literature on Rayleigh Taylor instability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a safe and permanent method of CO2 disposal based on combining CO2 chemically with abundant raw materials to form stable carbonate minerals is introduced, where substantial heat is liberated in the overall chemical reaction so that cost will be determined by the simplicity and speed of the reaction rather than the cost of energy.

TL;DR: This analysis implies that the threshold-dependent interpretation of maternal morphogen concentration is not sufficient to determine shifting gap domain boundary positions, and suggests that establishing and interpreting positional information are not independent processes in the Drosophila blastoderm.

TL;DR: A phenomenological modeling framework for development based on a connectionist or "neural net" dynamics for biochemical regulators coupled to "grammatical rules" which describe certain features of the birth, growth, and death of cells, synapses and other biological entities is presented.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cross regulation between the gap genes causes their expression to approach dynamical attractors, reducing initial variation and providing a robust output, and more generally it is shown that the complex multigenic phenomenon of canalization can be understood at a quantitative and predictive level by the application of a precise dynamical model.
