چکیده

We investigate self-moving particles which prefer to hop with a certain turning angle equally distributed to the right or left. We assume this turning angle distribution to be given by a double Gaussian distribution. Based on the model of Active Brownian particles and we calculate the diffusion coefficient in dependence on the mean and the dispersion of the turning angles. It is shown that bounded distribution of food in patches will be optimally consumed by the objects if they hop preferably with a given angle and not straight forwardly.

Role of random edge-disorder on the transport properties of ultra-thin zig-zag graphene nanoribbons

We report on an introductory study used to gauge the significance of random weakedge disorder on the coherent transport properties of ultra-thin zig-zag nanoribbons (ZGNRs) beyond the simple (i.e., first nearest-neighbour) tight-binding approximation. Such extensions include up to third nearest-neighbour hopping in an extended tight-binding model, as well as a mean-field Hubbard-U . The effect ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Optical Properties of ZnS Zig-Zag Thin Films

Zigzag ZnS thin films prepared by thermal evaporation method using glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique. ZnS films with zigzag structure were produced at deposition angles of 0˚, 60˚ and 80˚ at room temperature on glass substrates. Surface morphology of the films w:as char:acterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The optical properties of the specimens were i...

An Electron Microscope Examination of Urinary Mucoprotein and Its Interaction with Influenza Virus

A hemagglutination-inhibitory mucoprotein from human urine has been studied with the electron microscope. It consists of filaments, with diameters of 40 to > 240 A, composed of smaller fibrils. In the two-dimensional projection of the electron micrographs, the single fibrils often show a zig-zag course with a periodicity of 100 to 140 A; the single branch of a zig-zag measures about 60 A in len...

Some relations between Kekule structure and Morgan-Voyce polynomials

In this paper, Kekule structures of benzenoid chains are considered. It has been shown that the coefficients of a B_n (x) Morgan-Voyce polynomial equal to the number of k-matchings (m(G,k)) of a path graph which has N=2n+1 points. Furtermore, two relations are obtained between regularly zig-zag nonbranched catacondensed benzenid chains and Morgan-Voyce polynomials and between regularly zig-zag ...

Zig-zag and replacement product graphs and LDPC codes

It is known that the expansion property of a graph influences the performance of the corresponding code when decoded using iterative algorithms. Certain graph products may be used to obtain larger expander graphs from smaller ones. In particular, the zig-zag product and replacement product may be used to construct infinite families of constant degree expander graphs. This paper investigates the...
