We simulate electron dynamics following ionization in 2-phenyl-ethyl-amine and 2-phenylethyl-N,N-dimethylamine as examples of systems where 3 coupled cationic states are involved. We study two nuclear effects on electron dynamics: (i) coupled electron-nuclear motion and (ii) nuclear spatial delocalization as a result of the zero-point energy in the neutral molecule. Within the Ehrenfest approxi...

THE FLUID-COUPLED MOTION OF MICRO AND NANOSCALE CANTILEVERS

in this paper, a nonlinear free vibration analysis of thin annular functionally graded (fg) plate integrated with two uniformly distributed actuator layers made of piezoelectric (pzt4) material on the top and bottom surfaces of the annular fg plate is presented based on kirchhoff plate theory. the material properties of the fgm core plate are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction acco...

Tactile apparent motion can display directional information in an intuitive way. It can for example be used to give directions to visually impaired individuals, or for waypoint navigation while cycling on busy streets, when vision or audition should not be loaded further. However, although humans can detect very short tactile patterns, discriminating between similar motion speeds has been shown...

We estimate the correction to the Cooper-pair box energy level splitting due to the quantum motion of a coupled micromechanical gate electrode. While the correction due to zero-point motion is very small, it should be possible to observe thermal motion-induced corrections to the photon-assisted tunneling current.

We use a minimal model to study the processive motion of coupled synthetic molecular motors along a DNA track and we present data from Monte Carlo (MC) computer simulations based on this model. The model was originally proposed by Bromley et al. [HFSP J. 3, 204 (2009)] for studying the properties of a synthetic protein motor, the "Tumbleweed" (TW), and involves rigid Y-shaped motors diffusively...

In order to study the dynamic behavior of ships navigating in severe environmental conditions it is imperative to develop their governing equations of motion taking into account the inherent nonlinearity of large-amplitude ship motion. The purpose of this paper is to present the coupled nonlinear equations of motion in heave, roll, and pitch based on physical grounds. The ingredients of the for...

Motion planning for coupled rigid bodies in a horizontal plane is investigated. The rigid bodies are serially connected by passive revolute joints. The dynamic constraints on the system are second-order nonholonomic constraints. We attempted to control those n coupled rigid bodies by the translational acceleration inputs at the first joint. If each rigid body is hinged at the center of percussi...

PurposeInter-frame and intra-frame motion can adversely impact the performance of dynamic brain PET imaging. Only correcting the former can still result in degraded qualitative and quantitative performance. Meanwhile, patient motion introduces mismatches between transmission and emission data which may lead to incorrect attenuation and scatter compensation in the reconstruction process. As a re...
