    • Avoiding misleading estimates using mtDNA heteroplasmy statistics to study bottleneck size and selection 

      Giannakis, Konstantinos; Broz, Amanda K.; Sloan, Daniel B.; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy samples can shed light on vital developmental and genetic processes shaping mitochondrial DNA populations. The sample means and sample variance of a set of heteroplasmy observations are ...
    • Exchange on dynamic encounter networks allows plant mitochondria to collect complete sets of mitochondrial DNA products despite their incomplete genomes 

      Giannakis, Konstantinos; Chustecki, Joanna M.; Johnston, Iain George (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Mitochondria in plant cells usually contain less than a full copy of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome. Here, we asked whether mitochondrial dynamics may allow individual mitochondria to ‘collect’ a full set of mtDNA-encoded ...

      Quantitative plant biology is an interdisciplinary field that builds on a long history of biomathematics and biophysics. Today, thanks to high spatiotemporal resolution tools and computational modelling, it sets a new ...
    • Intracellular Energy Variability Modulates Cellular Decision-Making Capacity 

      Kerr, Ryan; Jabbari, Sara; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Cells generate phenotypic diversity both during development and in response to stressful and changing environments, aiding survival. Functionally vital cell fate decisions from a range of phenotypic choices are made by ...
    • Data science approaches provide a roadmap to understanding the role of abscisic acid in defence 

      Stevens, Katie; Johnston, Iain; Luna, Estrella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone well known to regulate abiotic stress responses. ABA is also recognised for its role in biotic defence, but there is currently a lack of consensus on whether it plays a positive or ...
    • Integration by Riemann triangles 

      Aslaksen, Helmer; Kirfel, Johann Christoph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      In this article we present a method of integration inspired by an example from Proofs Without Words II by Nelsen. Riemann rectangles under a curve are transformed into triangles. The limit of the collection of triangles ...
    • Stochastic organelle genome segregation through Arabidopsis development and reproduction 

      Broz, Amanda K.; Sloan, Daniel B.; Johnston, Iain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Organelle DNA (oDNA) in mitochondria and plastids is vital for plant (and eukaryotic) life. Selection against damaged oDNA is mediated in part by segregation – sorting different oDNA types into different cells in the ...
    • Stromule Geometry Allows Optimal Spatial Regulation of Organelle Interactions in the Quasi-2D Cytoplasm 

      Johnston, Iain George; Schattat, Martin; Hause, Gerd; Niemeyer, Frederik; Reynvoet, Frisine; Prautsch, Jennifer; Erickson, Jennifer Lee (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In plant cells, plastids form elongated extensions called stromules, the regulation and purposes of which remain unclear. Here, we quantitatively explore how different stromule structures serve to enhance the ability of a ...
    • Effects of complex neck therapy – kinesiotherapy and interspinal muscles massage – on tinnitus 

      Spencer, Shikha; Sereda, Magdalena; Marzena, Bielińska; Olszewski, Jurek; Adebusoye, Busola; Sobkiewicz, Adam; Bacri, Timothee Raphael Ferdinand; Bulla, Jan; Mielczarek, Marzena (Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction: Past studies have shown connections between the somatosensory system (the neck and temporomandibular joint region) and the auditory system. It is therefore likely that tinnitus patients might benefit from ...
    • Rigorous estimates on mechanical balance laws in the Boussinesq–Peregrine equations 

      Hussien Elkhorbatly, Bashar; Kalisch, Henrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      It is shown that the Boussinesq–Peregrine system, which describes long waves of small amplitude at the surface of an inviscid fluid with variable depth, admits a number of approximate conservation equations. Notably, this ...
    • Collective mitochondrial dynamics resolve conflicting cellular tensions: From plants to general principles 

      Johnston, Iain George; Chustecki, Joanna M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Mitochondria play diverse and essential roles in eukaryotic cells, and plants are no exception. Plant mitochondria have several differences from their metazoan and fungal cousins: they often exist in a fragmented state, ...
    • Effective Preconditioners for Mixed-Dimensional Scalar Elliptic Problems 

      Hu, Xiaozhe; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Nordbotten, Jan Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Discretization of flow in fractured porous media commonly lead to large systems of linear equations that require dedicated solvers. In this work, we develop an efficient linear solver and its practical implementation for ...
    • Crustal Conditions Favoring Convective Downward Migration of Fractures in Deep Hydrothermal Systems 

      Halldorsdottir, Sæunn; Berre, Inga; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Axelsson, Gudni (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Cooling magma plutons and intrusions are the heat sources for hydrothermal systems in volcanic settings. To explain system longevity and observed heat transfer at rates higher than those explained by pure conduction, the ...
    • An isenthalpic formulation for simulating geothermal systems with phase changes 

      Duran Triana, Omar Yesid; Lipovac, Veljko; Keilegavlen, Eirik; Radu, Adrian Florin; Berre, Inga (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We propose a unified isenthalpic formulation for the equilibrium problem of compositional multiphase mixtures. To solve the equilibrium problem numerically, we used an interior point method with line search and present an ...
