– The fluctuations in the spacing of the tunneling resonances through a quantum dot have been studied in the quantum Hall regime. Using the fact that the ground-state of the system is described very well by the Laughlin wavefunction, we were able to determine accurately, via classical Monte Carlo calculations, the amplitude and distribution of the peakspacing fluctuations. Our results clearly d...

So far the literature on DSGE models with energy price shocks uses energy on the production side only. In these models, energy shocks are responsible for only a negligible share of output fluctuations. We study the robustness of this finding. The aim of our paper is to model the response of household behavior to energy shocks in more detail as in the existing literature. Specifically, in additi...

During the synthesis of integral membrane proteins (IMPs), the hydrophobic amino acids of the polypeptide sequence are partitioned mostly into the membrane interior and hydrophilic amino acids mostly into the aqueous exterior. Using a many-body statistical mechanics model, we analyze the minimum free energy state of polypeptide sequences partitioned into α-helical transmembrane (TM) segments an...

Abstract We investigate the effect of increased longwave radiative forcing (a proxy for greenhouse gas concentration) on zonally averaged location eddy-driven jet stream in a latitude dependent, two-layer Energy Balance Model. The model includes separate terms atmospheric and surface albedos, takes into account reflections shortwave radiation between layers. introduce notion cloud factor functi...
