Catastrophe Model for the Onset of Fast Magnetic Reconnection
Solar flares, magnetic substorms and sawtooth crashes in fusion devices are explosive events in which magnetic reconnection facilitates the rapid release of energy stored in stressed magnetic fields into the surrounding plasma. Much effort has gone into understanding how the energy is released so …

Mathematical and experimental approaches to the dimer catastrophe theory
Multicopy plasmids rely on random distribution for stable inheritance by daughter cells at division. Threats to plasmid copy number increase the probability of plasmid loss, which can be detrimental to both plasmid and host. Plasmid dimers emerge through homologous recombination. Dimers have two …
