Mean field theory of n-layer unbinding
نویسنده
چکیده
-A two term Ginzburg-Landau Hamiltonian for the free energy density of n-layer systems is in~roduced. It is used to derive a distribution function for such systems and to obtain scaling laws involving the number of components. We discuss the validity of this mean-field theory for stretched polymers in two-dimensional space and for fluid membranes.

Analytical study of an exclusive genetic switch
The nonequilibrium stationary state of an exclusive genetic switch is considered. The model comprises two competing species and a single binding site which, when bound to by a protein of one species, causes the other species to be repressed. The model may be thought of as a minimal model of the power struggle between two competing parties. Exact solutions are given for the limits of vanishing b...
متن کاملSurface Tension Prediction of n-Alkanes by a Modified Peng-Robinson Equation of State Using the Density Functional Theory
Through this study, the ability of a modified Peng-Robinson (MPR) equation of state in predicting the surface tension of n-alkanes based on the density functional theory approach was investigated and compared with other studies. The interfacial layer thickness and the density profile were calculated simultaneously at different temperatures from triple point to near critical point using the modi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Laminated Soft Core Sandwich Plate Having Interfacial Imperfections by an Efficient C0 FE Model
An efficient C0 continuous two dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model is developed based on a refined higher order shear deformation theory (RHSDT) for the static analysis of soft core sandwich plate having imperfections at the layer interfaces. In this (RHSDT) theory, the in-plane displacement field for the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a globally varying cubic displa...
متن کاملUnbinding of fluorinated oxime drug from the AChE gorge in polarizable water: a well-tempered metadynamics study.
Despite the fact that fluorination makes a drug more lipophilic, the molecular level understanding of protein-fluorinated drug interactions is very poor. Due to their enhanced ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier, they are suitable for reactivation of organophosphorus inactivated acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the central nervous system. We systematically studied the unbinding of fluori...
متن کاملA Mean Field Theory of Layer IV of Visual Cortex and Its Application to Artificial Neural Networks
683 A single cell theory for the development of selectivity and ocular dominance in visual cortex has been presented previously by Bienenstock, Cooper and Munrol. This has been extended to a network applicable to layer IV of visual cortex2 . In this paper we present a mean field approximation that captures in a fairly transparent manner the qualitative, and many of the quantitative, results of ...
