Stoichiometry and population dynamics
TL;DR: Stoichiometric theory has strong potential for both quantitative and qualitative improvements in the predictive power of population ecology, a major priority in light of the multivariate anthropogenic and natural perturbations experienced by populations.

Spin-Transfer Torque and Dynamics
Mark D. Stiles,Jacques Miltat +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the qualitative features of the dynamics that result from current-induced torques are captured by a simple model in which the magnetization of the layer is assumed to be uniform.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncovering the Lagrangian skeleton of turbulence.
TL;DR: A technique is presented that uncovers the Lagrangian building blocks of turbulence, and is applied to a quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow experiment, which identifies an intricate network of attracting and repelling material lines.

Chaotic Phenomena Triggering the Escape from a Potential Well
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the manner in which a driven mechanical oscillator escapes from the cubic potential well typical of a metastable system close to a fold, and show how the well-known atoms of dissipative dynamics (saddle-node folds, period-doubling flips, cascades to chaos, boundary crises, etc.) assemble to form molecules of overall response.

Multiple attractors, catastrophes and chaos in seasonally perturbed predator-prey communities
TL;DR: In this article, a classical predator-prey model is considered with reference to the case of periodically varying parameters and six elementary seasonality mechanisms are identified and analyzed in detail by means of a continuation technique producing complete bifurcation diagrams.
