Stochastic models of polymeric fluids at small Deborah number

Stochastic models are considered as a numerical tool for simulating the dynamic behavior of polymeric fluids. At small Deborah number, straightforward numerical integration of these models is both costly because of the separation of time scales and inaccurate because of the large numerical fluctuation. A new technique, motivated by the recently developed heterogeneous multi-scale method (HMM), ...

Life at high temperatures.

Water environments with temperatures up to and above boiling are commonly found in association with geothermal activity. At temperatures above 60 degrees C, only bacteria are found. Bacteria with temperature optima over the range 65 degrees to 105 degrees C have been obtained in pure culture and are the object of many research projects. The upper temperature limit for life in liquid water has n...
