To navigate in complex fluid environments, swimming organisms like fish or bacteria often reorient their bodies antiparallel or against the flow, more commonly known as rheotaxis.

Tony Lane came from humble beginnings to become one of the world's leading theoretical nuclear physicists. His career in the Theoretical Physics Division at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) at Harwell was characterized by his outstanding successes in explaining experimental nuclear data. He pioneered the understanding of the important nucleon capture reactions by introducing new mechanisms of direct and semi-direct capture and, together with colleagues, he greatly advanced knowledge of nuclear analogue states, and the role of isospin in nuclear physics. With R. G. Thomas, he wrote a comprehensive review of R-matrix theory, applied to analyse resonances in nuclear reactions, which became one of the most cited papers in physics. His book Nuclear theory gave a good account of the use of pairing force theory in nuclear physics, and its application to nuclear collective motion.

Many biological processes depend on allosteric communication between different parts of a protein, but the role of internal protein motion in propagating signals through the structure remains largely unknown. Through an experimental and computational analysis of the ground state dynamics in ubiquitin, we identify a collective global motion that is specifically linked to a conformational switch distant from the binding interface. This allosteric coupling is also present in crystal structures and is found to facilitate multispecificity, particularly binding to the ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) family of deubiquitinases. The collective motion that enables this allosteric communication does not affect binding through localized changes but, instead, depends on expansion and contraction of the entire protein domain. The characterization of these collective motions represents a promising avenue for finding and manipulating allosteric networks.

The problem of the onset of the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect is revised by combining a study of the kinetics of the flow stress evolution upon abrupt changes in the applied strain rate and acoustic emission (AE) accompanying plastic deformation of an AlMg alloy. The kinetic measurements allow evaluating the strain-rate sensitivity of the flow stress and the time characteristics of transient processes as functions of plastic strain. Using known criteria of plastic instability, domains of instability are constructed in the (strain, strain rate) plane. A particular accent is put on the strain-rate range corresponding to the so-called “inverse” behavior. The comparison of such maps with experimental data on the critical strain testifies to the insufficiency of these criteria for explaining the onset of the PLC effect. Moreover, the slow transient kinetics contradicts observations of the fast development of stress drops. The AE measurements bear witness that the stress serrations are associated with bursts in duration of acoustic events generated by the collective motion of dislocations. The possible role of synchronization of dislocation dynamics on the onset of plastic instability is discussed.

It has been more than 30 years since Hikami Y and Shiraishi N (1988) Rain–wind-induced vibrations of cable-stayed bridges. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics 29: 409–418 first reported the rain–wind-induced vibration (RWIV) of stay cables in the construction stage of Meikonishi Bridge, Japan. After that, considerable research efforts have been devoted to understanding the RWIV of stay cables, and the role of the upper rivulet has been gradually realized and studied. This study presents a selective review on recent progress of RWIV and its controversial excitation mechanism. The available knowledge and up-to-date understanding of this complex fluid-structure interaction are presented in some detail. The formation, dynamics of water rivulet, and its role in affecting the near-wall boundary layer properties and in the excitation scenario of RWIV are of particular interest in this study. Finally, some limitations of previous studies are concluded, with some perspective suggestions for further study of excitation mechanism of RWIV.
