Macroscopic systems present particle-type solutions. Spontaneous symmetry-breaking can cause these solutions to travel in different directions, and the inclusion of random fluctuations can induce them to run and tumble. We investigate the running and tumbling of localized structures observed on a prototype model of one-dimensional pattern formation with noise.

Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) may be acute especially when prognostication indicates an increased risk of metastatic recurrence. Communication with an ophthalmologist or oncologist can then play a key role in impacting QoL.

- Researchers have explored how chiral liquid crystal droplets can form self-organizing vortex clusters similar to Abrikosov lattices found in other materials.
- The study uses a Ginzburg-Landau-like equation to explain the interaction dynamics that lead to these clusters, revealing a balance between repulsive forces and confinement within the droplets.
- Findings contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of vortex organization in liquid crystals and suggest new ways to manipulate these topological defects for potential applications.
Risky dietary behaviors, particularly excessive sugar consumption, significantly contribute to dental caries. Dental practitioners are tasked with detecting and managing these behaviors to effectively treat caries and prevent recurrences. Although dietary assessment tools exist to identify such behaviors, they have limits.
