In the current economic situation regarding electric generation and conservation of the environment, it is essential to develop sustainable technologies. From this point of view, hydropower is an excellent resource with a consequently high value. The syste ...
Novel extended tetrahedral forms Of CO2 have been synthesized recently under high-pressure conditions. We perform ab initio density functional theory calculations to investigate whether doping with Si can extend the stability range of such tetrahedral form ...
In the discussion on the use of the surface Laplacian (SL) of the distribution of bioelectric potentials on the body surface, the question remained open whether a complete specification of the SL of the potential over the surface bounding a volume conducto ...
The interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), or liquid|liquid interface, provides a defect-free junction for fundamental studies of adsorption phenomena, heterogeneous charge transfer reactions, and phase-formation processes. Recent ...
Biased Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute redox potential and free energy curves for the redox half reaction Ag(+)-->Ag(2+)+e(-) in aqueous solution. The potential energy surfaces of reactant and product state are line ...
ABSTRACT In order to obtain information about the internal structure of fluctuating Cooper pairs in the pseudogap state and below the transition temperature of high Tc superconductors, we solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the two-electron propagator in ...
In this paper, two simplified models of edge localized mode (ELM) power exhaust are developed, one based on the kinetic and the other on the fluid treatment of parallel losses. These models are found to capture many (though not all) of the salient features ...
Cluster calculations employing hybrid density functional theory have been carried out to examine the initial surface reactions in atomic layer deposition (ALD) of TiN thin films on the SiO2 surface using TiCl4 and NH3 as precursors. The potential energy su ...
A Hamiltonian formulation of the relativistic guiding center drifts is extended to anisotropic pressure plasmas. The magnetic coordinates devised by Boozer are adapted to the anisotropic pressure model and retain canonical properties for two-dimensional an ...
This paper attempts to review in how far thermodn. anal. can be used to understand and predict the performance of microorganisms with respect to growth and bioproduct synthesis. In the first part, a simple thermodn. model of microbial growth is developed w ...
