Microfluidic device combining hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic trapping for the controlled contact between single micro-sized objects and application to adhesion assays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...

Assessing the persistence of chalcogen bonds in solution with neural network potentials

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Frédéric Célerse, Veronika Juraskova

Non-covalent bonding patterns are commonly harvested as a design principle in the field of catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, and functional materials to name a few. Yet, their computational description generally neglects finite temperature and environme ...

The Reduced Immersed Method for Real-Time Fluid-Elastic Solid Interaction and Contact Simulation

Christopher Brandt

We introduce the Reduced Immersed Method (RIM) for the real-time simulation of two-way coupled incompressible fluids and elastic solids and the interaction of multiple deformables with (self-)collisions. Our framework is based on a novel discretization of ...

Structure of a model TiO2 photocatalytic interface

Gabriele Tocci

The interaction of water with TiO2 is crucial to many of its practical applications, including photocatalytic water splitting. Following the first demonstration of this phenomenon 40 years ago there have been numerous studies of the rutile single-crystal T ...

The Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator with an attractive delta '-interaction centred at the origin as approximated by the one with a triple of attractive delta-interactions

Fabio Rinaldi

In this note we provide an alternative way of defining the self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the harmonic oscillator perturbed by an attractive delta'-interaction, of strength beta, centred at 0 (the bottom of the confining parabolic potential), that was rigorou ...

Coupled models for integrated heart simulations: a numerical study of the fluid dynamics in the left ventricle

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Luca Dede', Davide Forti, Antonello Gerbi

We consider the numerical simulation of integrated heart models for the study of the cardiac functioning with particular emphasis on the coupling of the muscle contraction, the fluid dynamics of the left ventricle, and the interaction with the valves. We a ...

Cloud-Savvy Contextual Spaces as Agile Personal Learning Environments or Informal Knowledge Management Solutions

Denis Gillet, Evgeny Bogdanov

This paper presents how advanced social media platforms can be exploited to construct and share contextual spaces enabling the instantiation of agile personal learning environments or informal knowledge management solutions. The usefulness of open plugins ...

Dislocation-void interaction in Fe: a comparison between molecular dynamics and dislocation dynamics

Robin Schäublin, Seyed Masood Hafez Haghighat

Multiscale modeling, including molecular dynamics (MD) and discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) methods, appears as a signiﬁcant tool for the description of plasticity and mechanical properties of materials. This research concerns the inﬂuence of irradiatio ...

Coupling Biot and Navier-Stokes equations for modelling fluid-poroelastic media interaction

Alfio Quarteroni, Annalisa Quaini

The interaction between a fluid and a poroelastic structure is a complex problem that couples the Navier-Stokes equations with the Biot system. The finite element approximation of this problem is involved due to the fact that both subproblems are indefinit ...
