Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We survey the life of a Turing pattern, from initial diffusive instability through the emergence of dominant spatial modes and to an eventual spatially heterogeneous pattern. While many mathematically ideal Turing patterns are regular, repeating in structure and remaining of a fixed length scale throughout space, in the real world there is often a degree of irregularity to patterns. Viewing the life of a Turing pattern through the lens of spatial modes generated by the geometry of the bounded space domain housing the Turing system, we discuss how irregularity in a Turing pattern may arise over time due to specific features of this space domain or specific spatial dependencies of the reaction-diffusion system generating the pattern.
