The wetting of water on corrugated and flat hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers on Rh(111) is studied within a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. Water is treated by QM methods, whereas the interactions between liquid and substrate are described at the MM level. The electrostatic properties of the substrate are reproduced by assigning specifically generated par...

The paper presents the data of long-term research on composition harvested mass coming for post-harvest processing from grain harvesters, outlines possible ways to improve technology postharvest and seed processing. It proposes a number engineering solutions describes separators sorting grading all types grain. A secondary aspiration channel with double cleaning capacity an installed pendulum v...

The shape of the interface between two superimposed layers in a two-dimensional channel confined between a planar and a corrugated or indented wall is investigated in the limit of Stokes flow. A perturbation analysis for walls with small-amplitude sinusoidal corrugations reveals that an insoluble surfactant amplifies the deformation of the interface and causes a negative drift in the phase shif...

A laser pulse propagating in a corrugated plasma channel is composed of spatial harmonics whose phase velocities can be subluminal. The phase velocity of a spatial harmonic can be matched to the speed of a relativistic electron resulting in direct acceleration by the guided laser field in a plasma waveguide and linear energy gain over the interaction length. Here we examine the fully self-consi...

Inside cells, cargos such as vesicles and organelles are transported by molecular motors to their correct locations via active motion on cytoskeletal tracks and passive, Brownian diffusion. During the transportation of cargos, motor-cargo complexes (MCCs) navigate the confining and crowded environment of the cytoskeletal network and other macromolecules. Motivated by this, we study a minimal tw...
