DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we shall address the general semilinear Reactio
 n-Diffusion systems where the nonlinearity is present in the reaction term
 . These systems mathematically model the evolution of species concentratio
 n in a given medium under the influence of molecular diffusion and chemica
 l reactions. The chemical reactions that we address are of reversible natu
 re and the rate functions are always written using the law of mass action.
  Under diffuse scaling\, we study the RD systems with oscillating diffusio
 n coefficients and the perform the asymptotic analysis as the length-scale
  of heterogeneity tends to zero. In doing so\, we derive a nonlinear homog
 enised diffusion model which depends on the chemical equilibrium of the re
 versible reaction. The homogenised model also turns out to be a cross-diff
 usion model in the spirit of Maxwell-Stefan system.
