Coarse-grained model for gold nanocrystals with an organic capping layer

An exactly solvable coarse-grained model for species diversity

We present novel analytical results about ecosystem species diversity that stem from a proposed coarse grained neutral model based on birth-death processes. The relevance of the problem lies in the urgency for understanding and synthesizing both theoretical results of ecological neutral theory and empirical evidence on species diversity preservation. Neutral model of biodiversity deals with eco...

Investigating the Effects of Some Capping Agents upon Gold Nanocrystals Stability, Size and Surface Plasmon Resonance

C3: an architecture-independent model for coarse-grained parallel machines

We propose an architecture-independent parallel model, the C 3-model. The C 3-model evaluates, for a given parallel algorithm and target architecture, the complexity of computation, the pattern of communication , and the potential congestion arising in communication operations. A metric for estimating the eeect of link and processor congestion on the performance of an arbitrary communication op...

Coarse-grained model for phospholipid/cholesterol bilayer.

We construct a coarse-grained (CG) model for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)/cholesterol bilayers and apply it to large-scale simulation studies of lipid membranes. Our CG model is a two-dimensional representation of the membrane, where the individual lipid and sterol molecules are described by pointlike particles. The effective intermolecular interactions used in the model are systematic...

A coarse-grained model for DNA origami

Modeling tools provide a valuable support for DNA origami design. However, current solutions have limited application for conformational analysis of the designs. In this work we present a tool for a thorough study of DNA origami structure and dynamics. The tool is based on a novel coarse-grained model dedicated to geometry optimization and conformational analysis of DNA origami. We explored the...
