How general is the nucleation-condensation mechanism?
We investigate the structures of the major folding transition states of nine proteins by correlation of published Phi-values with inter-residue contact maps. Combined with previous studies on six proteins, the analysis suggests that at least 10 of the 15 small globular proteins fold via a nucleation-condensation mechanism with a concurrent build-up of secondary and tertiary structure contacts, ...
متن کاملInhomogeneous tachyon condensation
We investigate the spacetime-dependent condensation of the tachyon in effective field theories. Previous work identified singularities in the field which appear in finite time: infinite gradients at the kinks, and (in the eikonal approximation) caustics near local minima. By performing a perturbation analysis, and with numerical simulations, we demonstrate and explain key features of the conden...
متن کاملVortex nucleation in superfluid
W F Vinen suggested in 1961 that the creation of quantized vortex line in superfluid 4He is impeded by an energy barrier. Measurements of the rate ν at which negative ions nucleate vortices in isotopically pure 4He have vindicated this idea. Barrier heights derived from the measured temperature dependence of ν are in good agreement with values calculated by Muirhead, Vinen and Donnelly (MVD) on...
متن کاملSuperfluid Vortex Nucleation
In an earlier paper 2] the author introduced a nonlinear Schrr odinger model for superruid that captures the process of mutual friction between the super-uid and normal uid components of helium II. Topological defects in the solution of this equation are identiied as superruid vortices, and in that paper, an asymp-totic dynamics for the vortices was derived in the case they are widely separated...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation from a rotating thermal cloud: Vortex nucleation and lattice formation
We develop a stochastic Gross-Pitaveskii theory suitable for the study of Bose-Einstein condensation in a rotating dilute Bose gas. The theory is used to model the dynamical and equilibrium properties of a rapidly rotating Bose gas quenched through the critical point for condensation, as in the experiment of Haljan et al. #Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 210403 !2001"$. In contrast to stirring a vortex-fr...
