We observe standing waves of chemical concentration in thin layers [quasi-two-dimensional (2D)] and capillaries [three-dimensional (3D)] containing the aqueous Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in a reverse microemulsion stabilized by the ionic surfactant sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) and with cyclo-octane as the continuous phase. The 3D structures are oscillatory lamellae or square-packed cylinders at high and low volume fractions, respectively, of aqueous droplets. These patterns correspond to oscillatory labyrinthine stripes and square-packed spots in the 2D configuration. Computer simulations, as well as observations in E. coli, give qualitative agreement with the observed patterns and suggest that, in contrast to Turing patterns, the structures are sensitive to the size and shape of the system.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 February 2014.
All research outputs
#23,300,432
of 34,364,397 outputs
Outputs from Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics
#9,399
of 24,690 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#160,981
of 230,126 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Physical Review E: Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics
#82
of 412 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,364,397 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,690 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 230,126 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 412 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
