Preface to Special Topic: Two-Dimensional Materials

Preface to special topic: optofluidics.

This Special Topic section of Biomicrofluidics is on optofluidics or micro-optofluidic systems (MOFS), a burgeoning technology that aims to manipulate light and fluid at microscale and exploits their interaction to create highly versatile devices and integrated systems. This special issue puts together various contributed articles focusing on optofluidics or MOFS, which help inspire new researc...

Preface: Special Topic on Reaction Pathways.

This Special Topic Issue on Reaction Pathways collects original research articles illustrating the state of the art in the development and application of methods to describe complex chemical systems in terms of relatively simple mechanisms and collective coordinates. A broad range of applications is presented, spanning the sub-fields of biophysics and material science, in an attempt to showcase...

Preface: Special Topic on Multidimensional Spectroscopy.

Multidimensional signals are generated by subjecting molecules to sequences of short optical pulses and recording correlation plots related to the various controlled delay periods. These techniques which span all the way from the THz to the x-ray regimes provide qualitatively new structural and dynamical molecular information not available from conventional one-dimensional techniques. This issu...

Preface to Special Topic: Plasmas for Medical Applications

Preface to special issue on high-dimensional dependence and copulas

One of the biggest advances in recent years for high-dimensional copula models and applications has been the development of the vine pair-copula construction that covers continuous and discrete variables, and its extensions to include latent variables. Software has been made available in the VineCopula R package and the package that is companion to the book by Joe [6]. This special issue of the...
