The wetting of water on corrugated and flat hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers on Rh(111) is studied within a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. Water is treated by QM methods, whereas the interactions between liquid and substrate are described at the MM level. The electrostatic properties of the substrate are reproduced by assigning specifically generated par...

We study analytically how noninteracting weakly active particles, for which passive Brownian diffusion cannot be neglected and activity can treated perturbatively, distribute behave near boundaries in various geometries. In particular, we develop a perturbative approach the model of particles driven by an exponentially correlated random force (active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles). This involves...

response surface methodology (rsm) is a statistical method useful in the modeling and analysis of problems in which the response variable receives the influence of several independent variables, in order to determine which are the conditions under which should operate these variables to optimize a corrugated box production process. the purpose of this research is to create response surface mode...

The affected pig should be restrained and the corrugated tube gently inserted into the lumen of the prolapsed rectum the halfway-point on the tube needs to be inserted as far as the anal sphincter. The rubber bands should be stretched over the prolapse and placed as near as possible to the perianal skin; they must be tight enough to stop the blood supply to the prolapse. Faeces may move down th...

We investigate the transport of suspended Brownian particles dc driven along corrugated narrow channels in a regime of finite damping. We demonstrate that inertial corrections cannot be neglected as long as the width of the channel bottlenecks is smaller than an appropriate particle diffusion length, which depends on both the temperature and the strength of the dc drive. Therefore, transport th...

The corrugated steel plate shear wall (CoSPSW) is a new type of wall, in which plates instead flat are adopted. lateral stiffness and buckling capacity the system could be significantly enhanced, then, under gravity loads would mitigated. This paper presents study on probabilistic assessment seismic performance vulnerability CoSPSWs using fragility functions. damage states corresponding repair ...

A quantum Markovian activated atom-surface diffusion model with interacting adsorbates is proposed for the intermediate scattering function, which is shown to be complex-valued and factorizable into a classical-like and a quantum-mechanical factor. Applications to the diffusion of Na atoms on flat (weakly corrugated) and corrugated-Cu(001) surfaces at different coverages and surface temperature...

Hydrocarbon explosions are one of most hazardous events for workers on offshore platforms. To protect structures against explosion loads, corrugated blast walls are typically installed. However, the profiles of real explosion loads are quite different depending on the congestion and confinement of Topside structures. As the level of congestion and confinement increases, the explosion load incre...
