Research by the Lancaster/UMSL (University of Missouri, St Louis) nonlinear dynamics group is enhancing our understanding of the diverse and often unexpected ways in which nonlinear dynamical systems are affected by noise. The work is of wide-ranging significance, with applications throughout physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and other branches of science and technology. It is described here by Dr Peter McClintock and Professor Frank Moss.
The UK Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) was the successor to the Science Research Council (SRC) and the predecessor of the present group of research councils which include, for condensed matter physics, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
