Refined BCF-type boundary conditions for mesoscale surface step dynamics

Deposition on a vicinal surface with alternating rough and smooth steps is described by a solid-on-solid model with anisotropic interactions. Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of the model reveal step pairing in the absence of any additional step attachment barriers. We explore the description of this behavior within an analytic Burton-Cabrera-Frank (BCF)-type step dynamics treatment. Witho...

Chromosome 7q11 controls sperm beat cross frequency (BCF) in mice.

The aim of this study was to compare the inheritance of the chromosomal SSLP markers with the inheritance of sperm movement parameters in order to map genes responsible for these quantitative traits (QTs). Chromosome 7 and 14 SSLP markers were tested to obtain the strain distribution pattern (SDP) for recombinant inbred (RI) strains developed from two progenitors, KE and CBA/Kw, which differ si...

Assessment and validation of the CAESAR predictive model for bioconcentration factor (BCF) in fish

BACKGROUND Bioconcentration factor (BCF) describes the behaviour of a chemical in terms of its likelihood of concentrating in organisms in the environment. It is a fundamental property in recent regulations, such as the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use or the Globally Harmonized System for classification, labelling and packaging. These new regulations consider the p...

Convergence Analysis of BCF Method for Hookean Dumbbell Model with Finite Difference Scheme

A convergence analysis of the Brownian configuration fields (BCF) method [M. A. Hulsen, A. P. G. van Heel, and B. H. A. A. van den Brule, J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech., 70 (1997), pp. 79–101] for the Hookean dumbbell model with finite difference scheme in dimension 2 or 3 is given in this paper under the assumption that the continuous solution is smooth enough. An explicit solution of the Hookea...
