SUMMARY:Synchronization of Cilia - Prof. Raymond Goldstein (DAMTP)
DTSTART:20140127T203000Z
DTEND:20140127T213000Z
UID:TALK49606@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Mary Fortune
DESCRIPTION:From unicellular green algae to the lining of our respiratory 
 systems are found hair-like appendages\, known as cilia\, whose coordinate
 d beating results in transport of fluid essential for life. For decades th
 ere has been speculation about the origins of the synchronization seen in 
 nature\, but it is only recently that theory and experiments (mostly carri
 ed out here in DAMTP) have combined to provide quantitative analysis of th
 is problem. This talk will describe the fascinating stochastic nonlinear d
 ynamics underlying the synchronization problem.
