By means of Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering we determined the temperature dependence of the proton kinetic energy in polycrystalline ice Ih between 5 K and 271 K. We compare our results with predictions form Path Integral quantum simulations and semiclassical quasi-harmonic models with phasedependent frequencies. The latter show the best agreement with the experiment if the librational contri...

We study a minimal non-Markovian model of superdiffusion which originates from long-range velocity correlations within the generalized Langevin equation approach. The model allows for a three-dimensional Markovian embedding. The emergence of a transient hyperdiffusion, (Δx2(t))∝t(2+λ), with λ∼1-3 is detected in tilted washboard potentials before it ends up in a ballistic asymptotic regime. We r...

In molecular dynamics simulations, temperature is evaluated, via the equipartition principle, by computing the mean kinetic energy of atoms. There is no similar recipe yet for evaluating temperature of a dynamic system of interacting spins. By solving semiclassical Langevin spin-dynamics equations, and applying the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we derive an equation for the temperature of a ...

A recursion formulation for the transport of linearly sorbing solutes undergoing nonequilibrium sorption is developed. Constant or spatially varying sorption kinetics can be modeled using the recursion approach. The sorption and desorption rates are modeled as two independent random processes with a prescribed mean and covariance structure with spatial variability in the rate parameters include...

Measurements of oxygen uptake are central to methods for the assessment of physical fitness and endurance capabilities in athletes. Two important parameters extracted from such data of incremental exercise tests are the maximal oxygen uptake and the critical power. A commonly accepted model of the dynamics of oxygen uptake during exercise at a constant work rate comprises a constant baseline ox...

We present a numerical kinetic scheme for an unsteady mixed pressurized and free surface model. This model has a source term depending on both the space variable and the unknown U of the system. Using the Finite Volume and Kinetic (FVK) framework, we propose an approximation of the source terms following the principle of interfacial upwind with a kinetic interpretation. Then, several numerical ...

in this paper, polyacrylamide/chromium acetate gel polymer system was prepared as water shut-off system to control water production in one of the iranian oil reservoirs condition. effect of various parameters such as temperature (90 °c) and water formation from view point of salinity and divalent cations, was evaluated on the gelation kinetic and gel strength using bottle testing method. the re...

The laccase enzyme is the largest group of Oxidoreductase enzymes and is capable of oxidizing a wide range of organic substrates to water along with molecular oxygen resuscitation. ZnO nanoparticles are known for their specific properties such as chemical stability, high electrochemical coupling rates, and wide range of absorption of radiation as multifunctional compounds. In this study, ZnO po...
