9603035 Glazier This award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor James Glazier of the University od Notre Dame and Professor Masaki Sano of the Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. This project provides for research in the area of pattern formation and complex systems. The researchers will be studying cell sorting and turbulence. They will study the physical and biological mechanisms of cell sorting during embryonic development, both theoretically and experimentally. This should establish detailed quantitative agreement between experiments and the Potts model simulations and explain several morphogenic processes. Their next goal is to study turbulence in Rayleigh-Benard convection in Hg. They will accomplish this by characterizing the velocity histograms and spectra of hard turbulence using new velocity probes. They will then determine velocity histograms for the ultrahard turbulence regime which they expect to differ from hard turbulence. The proposal brings together the efforts of two laboratories which both work on living and non-living materials and both combine experimental and theoretical studies of physical and biological pattern formation. Their equipment and expertise is also complementary. The results of the research will provide realistic parameters in their computer models that would allow for full quantitative simulations. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international ulderstanding and cooperation.

9603035 Glazier这个奖项支持了Notre Dame的James Glazier教授与日本仙台Tohoku University的Masaki Sano教授之间的三年合作研究项目。 该项目提供了模式形成和复杂系统领域的研究。 研究人员将研究细胞分选和湍流。 他们将在胚胎发育过程中研究细胞分选的物理和生物学机制，无论是在理论上还是实验上。 这应该在实验与POTTS模型模拟之间建立详细的定量一致性，并解释几个形态学过程。 他们的下一个目标是研究HG中的雷利 - 布纳德对流中的湍流。 他们将通过使用新的速度探针来表征硬性湍流的速度直方图和光谱来实现这一目标。 然后，他们将确定他们期望与硬性湍流不同的超湍流状态的速度直方图。 该提案汇集了两个实验室的努力，这些实验室既从事生活和非生存材料工作，又结合了物理和生物模式形成的实验和理论研究。 他们的设备和专业知识也是互补的。 研究结果将在其计算机模型中提供现实的参数，以允许进行完整的定量模拟。 通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，并促进国际界限与合作。
