Permutation entropy with vector embedding delays

2017-12-12T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Douglas J. Little and Deb M. Kane

Permutation entropy (PE) is a statistic used widely for the detection of structure within a time series. Embedding delay times at which the PE is reduced are characteristic timescales for which such structure exists. Here, a generalized scheme is investigated where embedding delays are represented b...

Solution x-ray scattering and structure formation in protein dynamics

2017-12-12T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Alexandr Nasedkin, Jan Davidsson, Antti J. Niemi, and Xubiao Peng

We propose a computationally effective approach that builds on Landau mean-field theory in combination with modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to model and interpret protein dynamics and structure formation in small- to wide-angle x-ray scattering (S/WAXS) experiments. We develop the method...

2017-12-12T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Ruth Hernandez-Perez, José L. García-Cordero, and Juan V. Escobar

The evaporation of droplets can give rise to a wide range of interesting phenomena in which the dynamics of the evaporation are crucial. In this work, we find simple scaling laws for the evaporation dynamics of axisymmetric droplets pinned on millimeter-sized pillars. Different laws are found depend...

Lattice Boltzmann heat transfer model for permeable voxels

2017-12-12T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Gerald G. Pereira, Bisheng Wu, and Shakil Ahmed

We develop a gray-scale lattice Boltzmann (LB) model to study fluid flow combined with heat transfer for flow through porous media where voxels may be partially solid (or void). Heat transfer in rocks may lead to deformation, which in turn can modulate the fluid flow and so has significant contribut...

Author(s): Hiroshi Ueda, Kouichi Okunishi, Roman Krčmár, Andrej Gendiar, Seiji Yunoki, and Tomotoshi Nishino

In the context of a discrete analog of the classical Heisenberg model, we investigate the critical behavior of the icosahedron model, where the interaction energy is defined as the inner product of neighboring vector spins of unit length pointing to the vertices of the icosahedron. The effective cor...
