DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2103745119
Abstract: Significance Energetic constraints of flight and thermoregulation have long been thought to explain why most bat species are small and live predominantly in warm latitudes. We use physical models to investigate how body size, wing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/19491034.2020.1868105
Abstract: ABSTRACT Interactions of chromatin with the nuclear lamina imposes a radial genome distribution important for nuclear functions. How physical properties of chromatin affect these interactions is unclear. We used polymer simulations to model how physical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/taes.2017.2667518
Abstract: A biased proportional navigation guidance law, considering the seeker's look angle and acceleration capability limits, for impact-angle-control against nonmaneuvering targets is proposed. The proposed law consists of two time-varying biases: One is to achieve the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tpwrs.2018.2862157
Abstract: In this letter, we describe and develop edge-based and node-based formulations for combined-cycle units (CCUs) with different levels of accuracy in respect of the physical constraints of each turbine, from no requirement to partially and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2478.12414
Abstract: We thank Joel Sarout for his perspective reading of our paper (Sarout 2016). First, we want to state explicitly that the physical constraints on c13 are not theoretical constraints; they are heuristic constraints based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cdev.13643
Abstract: A fundamental part of understanding structural inequality is recognizing that constrained choices, particularly those that align with societal stereotypes, are poor indicators of a person's desires. This study examined whether children (N = 246 U.S. children, 53%… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s0218202517500348
Abstract: This paper first studies the admissible state set ???? of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD). It paves a way for developing physical-constraints-preserving (PCP) schemes for the RMHD equations with the solutions in ????. To overcome the difficulties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/boe.432786
Abstract: A machine learning model with physical constraints (ML-PC) is introduced to perform diffuse optical tomography (DOT) reconstruction. DOT reconstruction is an ill-posed and under-determined problem, and its quality suffers by model mismatches, complex boundary conditions,… read more here.

The positive effect of physical constraints on consumer evaluations of service providers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275348
Abstract: Consumers tend to have negative perceptions of service providers that limit their freedom. People might therefore be expected to respond particularly negatively to service providers that physically limit their freedom of movement. Yet, we suggest… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00242
Abstract: Organisms are subject to the laws of physics, so the process of evolution by genetic variation and natural selection is constrained by these fundamental laws. Classic and recent studies of the biophysical limits facing organisms… read more here.
