We study the synchronization of a generalized Kuramoto system in which coupling weights are determined by phase differences between oscillators. employ fast-learning regime Hebbian-like plasticity rule so that interaction oscillators is enhanced approach phases. First, we well-posedness problem for singular weighted systems Lipschitz continuity deprived. present dynamics equipped with all subcr...

A theoretical model for describing the initial stages of the aggregation of partially covered colloidal particles is presented. It is based on the assumption of short-range interactions that may be modeled by a sticking probability on contact. Three types of sticking probabilities are distinguished depending on the collision type, i.e., for bare-bare, bare-covered, and covered-covered collision...

Organic-based aerosols may play an unexpectedly important role in the atmospheric processing of water vapor. In this paper, we report results of a molecular dynamics (MD) study on the sticking coefficient of water vapor on a coated particle (water droplet coated with fatty acid of radius approximately 4 nm). The sticking coefficient was found to be almost a constant (11-16%) for incident speeds...

Using the King and Wells method, we present experimental data on the dependence of the sticking of molecular hydrogen and deuterium on the beam temperature onto nonporous amorphous solid water ice surfaces of interstellar interest. A statistical model that explains the isotopic effect and the beam temperature behavior of our data is proposed. This model gives an understanding of the discrepancy...

The sticking and scattering of O(2)Pt(111) has been studied by tight-binding molecular dynamics simulations based on an ab initio potential energy surface. We focus, in particular, on the sticking probability as a function of the angle of incidence and the energy and angular distributions in scattering. Our simulations provide an explanation for the seemingly paradox experimental findings that ...

Fresh egg waffles are a sweet convenience product typically baked from eggs, water, sugar, flour, fat, leavening agents, emulsifiers, preservatives, and flavors. In industrial production, waffles are baked continuously in high amounts of up to 200 kg raw material per hour. Therefore, it is important that the waffles do not stick onto the baking plates, which can cause significant product loss a...

We present the observation of an efficient mechanism for positron sticking to surfaces termed here Auger-mediated sticking. In this process the energy associated with the positrons transition from an unbound scattering state to a bound image potential state is coupled to a valence electron which can then have sufficient energy to leave the surface. Compelling evidence for this mechanism is foun...

Following our recent system-bath modeling of the interaction between a hydrogen atom and a graphene surface [Bonfanti et al., J. Chem. Phys. 143, 124703 (2015)], we present the results of converged quantum scattering calculations on the activated sticking dynamics. The focus of this study is the collinear scattering on a surface at zero temperature, which is treated with high-dimensional wavepa...

the continuous development of global economy with decreasing in available hydrocarbon sources and increasing discovery and extraction costs due to decrease in-situ oil and gas reservoir, displays the necessity of using new techniques for the improve rate of penetration and productivity in well. nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in the energy industri...
