Correspondence between the Coupling Model Predictions and Computer Simulations: Diffusion of a Probe Polymer in a Matrix Having Different Degrees of Polymerization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Detailed agreements between the predictions of the coupling model and the results of Monte Carlo simulations and a molecular dynamics simulation on the dynamics of the center-of-mass diffusion of entangled multichain systems are pointed out. These are further discussed in conjunction with real experimental data.

Two Dimensional Mathematical Model of Tumor Angiogenesis: Coupling of Avascular Growth and Vascularization
Introduction As a tumor grows, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases and it grows further if acquires the ability to induce angiogenesis. In this study, we aimed to present a two-dimensional continuous mathematical model for avascular tumor growth, coupled with a discrete model of angiogenesis. Materials and Methods In the avascular growth model, tumor is considered as a single mass, wh...
متن کاملModelling the catalyst fragmentation pattern in relation to molecular properties and particle overheating in olefin polymerization
A two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization. A two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. The i...
