An analytical mechanism that support localized spatio-temporal chaos is provided. We consider a simple model— the Nagumo Kuramoto model —which contains the crucial ingredients for observing localized spatio-temporal chaos, namely, the spatio-temporal chaotic pattern and its coexistence with a uniform state. This model allows us to unveil the front dynamics and to show that it can be described by a chaotic motor corresponding to the deterministic counterpart of a Brownian motor. Front interaction is identified as the mechanism at the origin of the localized spatio-temporal chaotic structures.

A method is described for investigating the lateral response and hunting tendency of cars in long trains. A linear model is developed representative of North American freight-car design with parameters descriptive of wheel wear and truck flexibility. Included is a simple model of the couplers assumed under tension. Transfer matrices are used to examine the behavior of groups of cars. Results are given showing that the behavior of a group of such cars under tension is no less stable than that of the single uncoupled car. The effects of variation in certain parameters on the natural response are described. Truck stiffness is shown to have a primary effect on the lateral stability of the car.

The rational design of self-assembled nanobio-molecular hybrids of peptide nucleic acids with single-wall nanotubes rely on understanding how biomolecules recognize and mediate intermolecular interactions with the nanomaterial's surface.
