In this paper, we study two species time-delayed predator-prey Lotka-Volterra type dispersal systems with periodic coefficients, in which the prey species can disperse among n patches, while the density-independent predator species is confined to one of patches and cannot disperse. Sufficient conditions on the boundedness, permanence and existence of positive periodic solution for this systems are established. The theoretical results are confirmed by a special example and numerical simulations.

Permanence and extinction for dispersal population systems

This paper studies the effect of dispersal on the permanence of population models in poor patchy environment. We first consider the logistic system with dispersal for single species and obtain the conditions for its permanence. On the basis of the conditions, we then consider a periodic predator-prey system where the prey can disperse among several patches. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the permanence of the periodic predator-prey system. We discuss the biological implications of the main results.

FISHERY BENEFITS OF FULLY PROTECTED MARINE RESERVES: WHY HABITAT AND BEHAVIOR ARE IMPORTANT

ABSTRACT. Fully protected marine reserves, areas that are closed to all fishing, have attracted great interest for their potential to benefit fisheries. A wide range of models suggest reserves will be most effective for species that are relatively sedentary as adults but produce offspring that disperse widely. Adult spawning stocks will be secure from capture in reserves, while their offspring disperse freely into fishing grounds. Such species include animals like reef fish, mollusks and echino‐derms, and models typically indicate that when they are over‐fished, catches will be higher with reserves than without. By contrast, the same models suggest that reserves will be ineffective for animals that are mobile as adults species like cod, tuna or sharks. They remain vulnerable to fishing whenever they move outside reserves. Unfortunately, most models lack sufficient realism to effectively gauge reserve effects on migratory species. They usually assume that individuals are homogeneously distributed in a uniform sea and move randomly. They also assume that fishers hunt at random. Neither is true. For centuries, fishers have targeted places and times when their quarry are most vulnerable to capture. Protecting these sites could have disproportionately large effects on stocks. Furthermore, models rarely take into account possible benefits from improvements in habitat within reserves. Such changes, like increased biomass and complexity of bottom‐living organisms, could alter fish movement patterns and reduce natural mortality rates in ways that enhance reserve benefits. We present a simple model of reserve effects on a migratory fish species. The model incorporates spatial variation in vulnerability to capture and shows that strategically placed reserves can offer benefits in the form of increased spawning stock and catch, especially when fishing intensities are high. We need to develop a new generation of models that incorporate habitat and behaviour to better explore the utility of reserves for mobile species. Migratory behavior does not preclude reserves from benefiting a species, but it demands that we apply different principles in designing them. We must identify critical sites to species and develop reserve networks that focus protection on those places.     

Performance of two-disk partition data allocations

In this paper, we present a method, called the partition data allocation method, to allocate a set of data into a multi-disk system. Using the partition data allocation method, we shall show that, in a two-disk system, the performance is influenced by how we disperse similar data onto different disks.

Numerical study of a liquid/liquid slug flow in a micro-reactor

The great advantages of micro–reactors are associated with an extremely high surface–to–volume ratio. Hence, micro–reactors permit promising operating conditions, such as almost perfect heat or mass transfer. The hydrodynamics of a liquid/liquid slug flow in a micro–channel is characterized by complex vortex structures in both the disperse and the continuous phase. The disperse phase, in our investigations, is not wetting the walls and, thus, a thin film of the continuous phase persists between the disperse phase and the wall. Due to this phenomenon, a relative movement between disperse and continuous phase is possible and, indeed, observed. Understanding of these complex phenomena allows for a control of the hydrodynamics, and thus, to tailor the heat and mass transport in a desired manner. To study the physics of this complex liquid/liquid system, a modified level–set method in conjunction with an immersed–boundary formulation is engaged. The mesh resolution represents a challenge, as the spatial resolution has to resolve the thin film between the disperse phase and the wall adequately. All simulations are implemented within the software OpenFOAM. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

SIS reaction–diffusion model with risk-induced dispersal under free boundary

A spatial susceptible–infected–susceptible epidemic model with a free boundary, where infected individuals disperse non-uniformly, is investigated in this study. Spatial heterogeneity and movement of individuals are essential factors that affect pandemics and the eradication of infectious diseases. Our goal is to investigate the effect of a dispersal strategy for infected individuals, known as risk-induced dispersal (RID), which represents the motility of infected individuals induced by risk depending on whether they are in a high- or a low-risk region. We first construct the basic reproduction number and then understand the manner in which a nonuniform movement of infected individuals affects the spreading–vanishing dichotomy of a disease in a one-dimensional domain. We conclude that even though the infected individuals reside in a high-risk initial domain, the disease can be eradicated from the region if the infected individuals move with a high sensitivity of RID as they disperse. Finally, we demonstrate our results via simulations for a one-dimensional case.     

Permanence of dispersal population model with time delays

Permanence of a dispersal single-species population model is considered where environment is partitioned into several patches and the species requires some time to disperse between the patches. The model is described by delay differential equations. The existence of food-rich patches and small dispersions among the patches are proved to be sufficient to ensure partial permanence of the model. It is also shown that partial permanence ensures permanence if each food-poor patch is connected to at least one food-rich patch and if each pair in food-rich patches is connected. Furthermore, it is proved that partial persistence is ensured even under large dispersion among food-rich patches if the dispersion time is relatively small.     

Numerical study of liquid/liquid slug flow in a capillary microreactor

The great advantage of microreactors is associated with an extremely large surface-to-volume ratio. Hence, microreactors permit promising operating conditions, such as almost-perfect heat or mass transfer. This, of course, requires that the hydrodynamics is well understood. The hydrodynamics of a liquid/liquid slug flow in a micro-capillary is characterized by a complex vortex structure in both the disperse and the continuous phase. The disperse phase, in our investigations, is not wetting the walls and, thus, a thin film of the continuous phase persist between the disperse phase and the wall. Due to this phenomenon, a relative movement between disperse and continuous phase is possible and, indeed, observed. Understanding of these complex phenomena allows for a control of the hydrodynamics, and thus, to tailor the heat and mass transport in a desired manner. Apparently, several effects influence the hydrodynamics. The main dimensionless groups are a Reynolds number, a Capillary number, and the ratio of viscosities and densities of both phases. To study the physics of this complex two-liquid system, a modified level-set method in conjunction with an immersed-boundary formulation is engaged. Presently, the simulations are time-dependent and axially-symmetric in nature. The mesh resolution represents a challenge, as the spatial resolution has to resolve the thin film between the disperse phase and the wall adequately. All simulations are implemented within the software OpenFOAM. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Waves associated to large scale oceanic motions are gravity waves (Poincaré waves which disperse fast) and quasigeostrophic waves (Rossby waves). In this Note, we show by semiclassical arguments, that Rossby waves can be trapped and we characterize the corresponding initial conditions. To cite this article: C. Cheverry et al., C. R. Acad. Sci.

A Deformation Model for Dispersely Failing Elastoplastic Unidirectionally Reinforced Composites

A calculation model is proposed for unidirectionally reinforced elastoplastic composites capable of gradually accumulating disperse microdamages under loading. The composite is assumed to be a homogeneous transversely isotropic solid. To describe its elastoplastic behavior, an incremental plasticity theory with a nonlinear combined hardening mechanism is invoked. At each point of the solid, its damage is characterized by a centrally symmetric scalar function on a unit sphere. This function is approximated by a fourth-rank tensor, which is used for describing the degradation of the elastic properties of the solid due to the accumulation of disperse microdamages. It is shown how to determine, using the known experimental data, all material constants appearing in the theoretical relations suggested.
