Description:: Mixing by cutting-and-shuffling (like that for a deck of cards or a Rubik's cube) is a paradigm that has not been studied in detail even though it can be applied in a variety of situations including the mixing of granular materials. Mathematically, cutting- and-shuffling is described by piecewise isometries (PWIs),...

Description:: Our experience of the physical world is mediated by our senses, but while most people have five senses, interactions with computer systems are largely limited to the visual sense. When working with nonvisual artifacts, like sound, on computers, such artifacts are typically transformed, or re-encoded, into something visual. Determining how...

Description:: The physics of granular materials is one of the big questions in science. Granular materials serve as a prototype of collective systems far from equilibrium and fundamental questions remain. At the same time, an understanding of granular materials has tremendous practical importance. Among practical problems, granular mixing and its interplay...
