Predicting the number of homicides with firearms is an important step toward improved and reactive policy in public health. In the United States, accurate datasets on firearm homicides are released […]
Advances and perspectives in non-smooth dynamics and applications
Switching systems are widespread in nature and engineering applications. Research on these systems has come a long way in the last decades, but there are still many open questions that […]
Inferring directional interactions in collective dynamics
Establishing whether directional interactions are present between coupled systems is a fundamental problem in dynamical systems theory. New tools such as intrinsic mutual information have been recently introduced to measure […]
Collective response of fish to manipulations of illumination and flow
How is the collective behavior of fish modulated by flow and illumination? While the literature has explored the role of each of these factors individually, there has been no effort […]
A model against the flow
Surprisingly, fish tend to align against the current they face, not with it. Such behavior, called rheotaxis, is replicated in a variety of experiments in which the fish is deprived […]
