Receptor aggregation by intermembrane interactions: a Monte Carlo study.
The lateral organization of receptors on cell surfaces is critically important to their function; many receptors transmit transmembrane signals when redistributed into clusters, while the response of others is potentiated by their aggregation. Cell-cell contact can play a crucial role in receptor aggregation, even when the bonds between receptors on one cell and ligands on the other are monoval...
متن کاملPhase separation driven by surface diffusion: a Monte Carlo study.
We propose a kinetic Ising model to study phase separation driven by surface diffusion. This model is referred to as Model S, and consists of the usual Kawasaki spin-exchange kinetics (Model B) in conjunction with a kinetic constraint. We use multispin coding techniques to develop fast algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations of Models B and S. We use these algorithms to study the late stages of ...
متن کاملElectron emission from diamondoids: a diffusion quantum Monte Carlo study.
We present density-functional theory (DFT) and quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations designed to resolve experimental and theoretical controversies over the optical properties of H-terminated C nanoparticles (diamondoids). The QMC results follow the trends of well-converged plane-wave DFT calculations for the size dependence of the optical gap, but they predict gaps that are 1-2 eV higher. The...
متن کاملNonlocal pseudopotentials and diffusion Monte Carlo
We have applied the technique of evaluating a nonlocal pseudopotential with a trial function to give an approximate, local many-body pseudopotential which was used in a valence-only diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculation. The pair and triple correlation terms in the trial function have been carefully optimized to minimize the effect of the locality approximation. We discuss the accuracy and co...
متن کاملState Aggregation in Monte Carlo Tree Search
Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) algorithms are a popular approach to online decision-making in Markov decision processes (MDPs). These algorithms can, however, perform poorly in MDPs with high stochastic branching factors. In this paper, we study state aggregation as a way of reducing stochastic branching in tree search. Prior work has studied formal properties of MDP state aggregation in the co...
