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...

Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society. Frequently cited examples include the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, and the Internet, a network of routers and compute...

Information theory provides a constructive criterion for setting up probability distributions on the basis of partial knowledge, and leads to a type of statistical inference which is called the maximum-entropy estimate. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

Aerosol contamination of an aircraft cabin by infectious passengers is a concern of passengers, aircrew and the aviation industry. This may be especially important during a pandemic, such as COVID-19, where the full exte...

The Wilcoxon rank sum nonparametric statistical test is introduced to establish an evaluation model for identifying structural domain boundaries in jointed rock masses. A new method for identifying structural domain boun...

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...

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...

This study investigates how four nano-additives, namely graphene, amine-functionalized graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, affect the properties of polylactic acid (PLA) used in ma...

Currently the application of 50 drill pipe is more in the standard penetration test (SPT) in the geotechnical engineering investigation, which is different from the code that 42 drill pipe is specified. Based on the proj...

Interlocking concrete pavers (ICPs) require substantial cement consumption, resulting in considerable embodied carbon emissions, while the regional availability of conventional supplementary cementitious materials is bec...

In a hydrothermal preparation of crystalline magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, the influence of the experimental parameters (initial molar ratio of ferrous/ferric ions, initial concentration of ferrous ions, and heating t...
