The odorant partition coefficient is a physicochemical property that has been shown to dramatically influence odorant deposition patterns in the mammalian nose, leading to a chromatographic separation of odorants along the sensory epithelium. It is unknown whether a similar phenomenon occurs in fish. Here we utilize molecular dynamics simulations, based on a simplified molecular model of olfact...

In this work, we investigate the classical loop models doped with monomers and dimers on a square lattice, whose partition function can be expressed as a tensor network (TN). In the thermodynamic limit, we use the boundary matrix product state technique to contract the partition function TN, and determine the thermodynamic properties with high accuracy. In this monomer-dimer-loop model, we find...

iran’s vast common natural gas resources and the necessity to extract and export it as liquefied natural gas (lng) to distances more than 3000km opens a lucrative field for researchers to optimize lng cycles. in this article heat integration in cryogenic cycles by determining interacycle partition temperature and optimizing refrigeration features like subcooler, presaturator, aftercooler, reboi...

Background: The incorporation of thallium-201 into 8-hydroxyquinoline was targeted for cell labeling due to interesting physical properties and wide availability of this nuclide as a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radionuclide. Materials and Methods: Thallium-201 (T1/2=3.04 d) in Tl+ form was converted to Tl3+ cation in presence of O3/6M HCl and di-isopropyl ether, controlle...

In this note, we define the concepts of admissible relation and admissible partition for an arbitrary BL-general fuzzy automaton.In particular, a connection between the admissible partition and the quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton is presented.It is shown that if we use the maximal admissible partition, then we obtain a quotient BL-general fuzzy automaton and this quotient is minimal. Finall...

The partition of a series of dinitrophenylated amino-acids is studied experimentally in two (Ionic Liquid + Sodium Phosphate Buffer) biphasic systems at 23 oC. The ionic liquids used in these experiments are 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [C6mim][BF4], and 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [C10mim][BF4]. pH of the initial aqueous solution is fixed at 7.4 using a sui...

We develop an efficient Eulerian numerical approach to extract invariant sets in a continuous dynamical system in the extended phase space (the x− t space). We extend the idea of ergodic partition and propose a concept called coherent ergodic partition for visualizing ergodic components in a continuous flow. Numerically, we first apply the level set method [33] and extend the backward phase flo...

We calculate partition coefficients of various chain anchors in liquid-ordered and liquid-disordered phases utilizing a theoretical model of a bilayer membrane containing cholesterol, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. The partition coefficients are calculated as a function of chain length, degree of saturation, and temperature. Partitioning depends on the differe...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of efficiently computing a multi-way spatial join without spatial indexes. We propose a novel and effective filtering algorithm based on a two phase partitioning technique. To avoid missing hits due to an inherent difficulty in multi-way spatial joins, we propose to firstly partition a join graph into sub-graphs whenever necessary. In the second phase, ...

Partition functions of two different matrix models for QCD with chemical potential are computed for an arbitrary number of quark and complex conjugate anti-quark flavors. In the large-N limit of weak nonhermiticity complete agreement is found between the two models. This supports the universality of such fermionic partition functions, that is of products of characteristic polynomials in the com...
