Entropy production for coarse-grained dynamics

Systems out of equilibrium exhibit a net production of entropy. We study the dynamics of a stochastic system represented by a Master equation (ME) that can be modeled by a Fokker-Planck equation in a coarse-grained, mesoscopic description. We show that the ...

Entropy production in master equations and Fokker-Planck equations: facing the coarse-graining and recovering the information loss

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan

Systems operating out of equilibrium exchange energy and matter with the environment, thus producing entropy in their surroundings. Since the entropy production depends on the current flowing throughout the system, its quantification is affected by the lev ...

Chaperones convert the energy from ATP into the nonequilibrium stabilization of native proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Alberto Stefano Sassi

During and after protein translation, molecular chaperones require ATP hydrolysis to favor the native folding of their substrates and, under stress, to avoid aggregation and revert misfolding. Why do some chaperones need ATP, and what are the consequences ...

Thermodynamic properties of average-atom interatomic potentials for alloys

William Curtin, Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The atomistic mechanisms of deformation in multicomponent random alloys are challenging to model because of their extensive structural and compositional disorder. For embedded-atom-method interatomic potentials, a formal averaging procedure can generate an ...

Self-compensation due to point defects in Mg-doped GaN

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

Using hybrid density functional theory, we address point defects susceptible to cause charge compensation upon Mg doping of GaN. We determine the free energy of formation of the nitrogen vacancy and of several Mg-related defects. The entropic contribution ...

Statistical-thermodynamics modelling of the built environment in relation to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Various aspects of the built environment have important effects on ecology. Providing suitable metrics for the built forms so as to quantify and model their internal relations and external ecological footprints, however, remains a challenge. Here we provid ...

Explicit solvent simulations of the aqueous oxidation potential and reorganization energy for neutral molecules: Gas phase, linear solvent response, and non-linear response contributions

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Peter Rudolf Tentscher, Marianne Seijo, Jennifer Guerard

First principles simulations were used to predict aqueous one-electron oxidation potentials (E-ox) and associated half-cell reorganization energies (lambda(aq)) for aniline, phenol, methoxybenzene, imidazole, and dimethylsulfide. We employed quantum mechan ...

Study of the Redox Properties of Singlet and Triplet Tris(2,2 '-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) ([Ru(bpy)(3)](2+)) in Aqueous Solution by Full Quantum and Mixed Quantum/Classical Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Polydefkis Diamantis, Jérôme Florian Gonthier

The oxidation of ground-state (singlet) and triplet Ru(bpy)(3) were studied by full quantum-mechanical (QM) and mixed quantum/classical (QM/MM) molecular dynamics simulations. Both approaches provide reliable results for the redox potentials of the t ...

Advancing catchment hydrology to deal with predictions under change

Steven Vincent Weijs

Throughout its historical development, hydrology as an earth science, but especially as a problem-centred engineering discipline has largely relied (quite successfully) on the assumption of stationarity. This includes assuming time invariance of boundary c ...

Invariant Relationships for Heterogeneous Chemical Reaction Systems in Open Reactors

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Sriniketh Srinivasan

Many chemical and biochemical industries utilize chemical reaction processes to get desired products from raw materials. Common examples include reaction systems used to manufacture pharmaceutical drugs, vaccines and other chemicals. A chemical reaction sy ...
