On Variable Molecular Orientation in Transcrystallinity

Free Vibrations of Continuous Grading Fiber Orientation Beams on Variable Elastic Foundations

Free vibration characteristics of continuous grading fiber orientation (CGFO) beams resting on variable Winkler and two-parameter elastic foundations have been studied. The beam is under different boundary conditions and assumed to have arbitrary variations of fiber orientation in the thickness direction. The governing differential equations for beam vibration are being solved using Generalized...

Molecular Orientation in Living Matter

Living matter offers many examples of what appears to be action exerted at a distance. I am not attempting to renew the discussion of the classical problem of physics because the action at a distance which I have in mind is not exerted through vacuous space but through matter, and its peculiarity lies in the fact that the intervening matter seems to act in a purely passive way. The example whic...

Variable molecular clocks in hominoids.

Generation time is an important determinant of a neutral molecular clock. There are several human-specific life history traits that led to a substantially longer generation time in humans than in other hominoids. Indeed, a long generation time is considered an important trait that distinguishes humans from their closest relatives. Therefore, humans may exhibit a significantly slower molecular c...

Reduced Variable Molecular Dynamics

This article describes an extension to previously developed constraint techniques. These enhanced constraint methods will enable the study of large computational chemistry problems that cannot be easily handled with current constrained molecular dynamics (MD) methods. These methods are based on an O( N solution to the constrained equations of motion. The benefits of this approach are that (1) t...
