It is believed that the canonical gravitational partition function associated with the twobody interacting Newton’s gravitation cannot be constructed because the concomitant integral is exponentially divergent. We show...

A new approach model was developed for the pore size characterization of carbon porous materials, using adsorption gases. The experimental adsorption isotherms of CO2 and N2 onto carbon nanoparticles were used to test th...

An improved model to analyze the partial molar entropy step between stage II and stage I for lithium intercalation in graphite, based in statistical mechanics, is presented. At difference with our previous formulation, w...

Verlinde has recently conjectured, via a Beckenstein-like thought experiment, that gravitation, instead of being an elementary force, is an emergent entropic one. This rather surprising conjecture was actually proved in ...

Nonlinear Schrödinger equations with power-law nonlinearities have attracted considerable attention recently. Two previous proposals for these types of equations, corresponding respectively to the Gross– Pitaievsky eq...

Cold dark matter (CDM) simulations predict a central cusp in the mass distribution of galaxies. This prediction is in stark contrast with observations of dwarf galaxies that show a central plateau or "core"in their densi...

Various phenomenological generalizations of the foundational equation in quantum physics have been proposed in prior studies. This paper presents a rigorous analytical derivation, grounded in first principles, that eluci...

Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is 1 of the most common congenital heart defects in dogs and percutaneous closure is effective in achieving ductal closure; PDA closure is associated with abrupt hemodynamic chan...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of gradually increasing orthodontic force magnitude compared with a constant force magnitude on the rate of tooth movement during maxillary canine retraction. Methods This split-...

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of inhalation anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia on intraocular pressure, as well as to evaluate associated hemodynamic changes, surgical duration, blood gas pa...

The purpose of this work is, first, to present a fast and accurate technique to compute Boltzmann-averaged values of the quantum-chemical 13C chemical shifts for each amino acid in oligopeptides, demonstrated here by an ...

Pore structure is the index reflecting the nature of the physical and mechanical properties of the soil. The resolution scale of the traditional medical CT is not high enough to identify the single grain or pore characte...

Background: Javelin throwing is a complex athletic skill that requires strength, speed, balance, and proper release mechanics. In school settings, many students struggle to master these fundamentals due to limited practi...

Considering the heterogeneity characteristics of concrete materials, the method of the mesoscopic mechanics is used to investigate the dynamic damage of slabs of concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD) combined with the statis...

In this work, the residual strength of a fiber-reinforced injection molded part containing a hot weld line—or meld line—was evaluated. Injected plates were generated using a double-gated mold under four different pro...

Statistical complexity measures (SCM) are the composition of two ingredients: (i) entropies and (ii) distances in probability-space. In consequence, SCMs provide a simultaneous quantification of the randomness and the co...

Experimental adsorption isotherms of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on sulfonated microspheres were described by means of two analytical models: the first is the well-known Langmuir–Freundlich model (LF), and the ...

In the present paper, finite multilayer adsorption is described as a fractional statistics problem, based on Haldane's statistics. In this scheme, the Helmholtz free energy and its derivatives are written in terms of a p...

The bulk modulus is one of the most important characteristic features of solids. Accordingly, we have developed a statistical-mechanical treatment based on an equation which enables us to calculate the bulk modulus for s...

We investigate Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) surface growth in the presence of power-law temporally correlated noise. By means of extensive numerical simulations of models in the KPZ universality class we find that, as the n...

The probability distribution function for an out of equilibrium system may sometimes be approximated by a physically motivated "trial" distribution. A particularly interesting case is when a driven system (e.g., active m...

In the present work, a generalized lattice-gas model to study multilayer adsorption of interacting polyatomic species on heterogeneous surfaces is introduced. Using an approximation in the spirit of the well-known Brunau...

The percolation problem of interacting particles on square lattices with two kinds of energetically different sites is studied. Square lattices formed by collections of either randomly or orderly distributed sites are ge...

We revisit the Frieden-Hawkins' Fisher order measure with a consideration of temperature effects. To this end, we appeal to the semiclassical approach. The order-measure's appropriateness is validated in the semiclassica...
