How many species have mass M? (2009)

Aaron Clauset, David J. Schwab, Sidney Redner

Within large taxonomic assemblages, the number of species with adult body mass M is characterized by a broad but asymmetric distribution, with the largest mass being orders of magnitude larger than...

Statistical Mechanics of Integral Membrane Protein Assembly (2009)

Wahba, Karim, Schwab, David J., Bruinsma, Robijn

During the synthesis of integral membrane proteins (IMPs), the hydrophobic amino acids of the polypeptide sequence are partitioned mostly into the membrane interior and hydrophilic amino acids mostly...

Rhythmogenic neuronal networks, pacemakers, and k-cores (2008)

Schwab, David J., Bruinsma, Robijn F., Levine, Alex J.

Neuronal networks are controlled by a combination of the dynamics of individual neurons and the connectivity of the network that links them together. We study a minimal model of the preBotzinger...

How many species have mass M? (2008)

Clauset, Aaron, Schwab, David J., Redner, Sidney

Within large taxonomic assemblages, the number of species with adult body mass M is characterized by a broad but asymmetric distribution, with the largest mass being orders of magnitude larger than...

Glassy states in fermionic systems with strong disorder and interactions (2008)

Schwab, David J., Chakravarty, Sudip

We study the competition between interactions and disorder in two dimensions. Whereas a noninteracting system is always Anderson localized by disorder in two dimensions, a pure system can develop a...

Nucleosome Switching (2007)

Schwab, David J., Bruinsma, Robijn F., Rudnick, Joseph, Widom, Jonathan

We present a statistical-mechanical analysis of the positioning of nucleosomes along one of the chromosomes of yeast DNA as a function of the strength of the binding potential and of the chemical...

Biophysical Model of Larval Yellow Perch Advection and Settlement in Lake Michigan (2007)

Dmitry Beletsky, Doran M. Mason, David J. Schwab, Edward S. Rutherford, John Janssen, David F. Clapp, ...

Potential for large-scale physical transport processes to affect recruitment of Lake Michigan yellow perch (Perca flavescens) was studied by examining the variation in larval distribution, growth...

Transport and Mixing Between the Coastal and Offshore Waters in the Great Lakes: a Review (2007)

Yerubandi R. Rao, David J. Schwab

The Laurentian Great Lakes of North America have horizontal scales of hundreds of kilometers and depth scales of hundreds of meters. In terms of coastal dynamics, they behave much like inland seas...

Classifying and Forecasting Coastal Upwellings in Lake Michigan Using Satellite Derived Temperature Images and Buoy Data (2006)

Plattner, Stefan, Mason, Doran M., Leshkevich, George A., Schwab, David J., Rutherford, Edward S.

Coastal upwellings are common in the Great Lakes but have lacked enumeration and systematic classification of spatial extent, frequency, duration, and magnitude. Near real-time sea surface...

Climatology of Large Sediment Resuspension Events in Southern Lake Michigan (2006)

David J. Schwab, Brian J. Eadie, Raymond A. Assel, Paul J. Roebber

Lake Michigan, particularly the southern basin, is subject to recurrent episodes of massive sediment resuspension by storm-induced waves and currents. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the...

Classifying and Forecasting Coastal Upwellings in Lake Michigan Using Satellite Derived Temperature Images and Buoy Data (2006)

Stefan Plattner, Doran M. Mason, George A. Leshkevich, David J. Schwab, Edward S. Rutherford

Coastal upwellings are common in the Great Lakes but have lacked enumeration and systematic classification of spatial extent, frequency, duration, and magnitude. Near real-time sea surface...

Impact of inertial period internal waves on fixed-depth primary production estimates (1988)

Fahnenstiel, Gary L., Scavia, Donald, Lang, Gregory A., Saylor, James H., Miller, Gerald S., Schwab, David J.

Fixed-depth subthermocline phytoplankton production estimates were compared to variable-depth estimates calculated along the simulated trajectory of an internal wave. The mean of 5000 Monte Carlo...
