Classical radiation scattering experiments are related, via the first Born approximation, to the pair correlation function only. However statistical physics provides many inter-relationships between g(r) and higher correlation functions which can be exploited to study these functions. Some examples will be given and the limitations of this approach discussed. Many physical phenomena which invol...

Images from cell biology experiments often indicate the presence of cell clustering, which can provide insight into the mechanisms driving the collective cell behaviour. Pair-correlation functions provide quantitative information about the presence, or absence, of clustering in a spatial distribution of cells. This is because the pair-correlation function describes the ratio of the abundance of...

Abstract Five simulation models of chloroprene rubber (CR)/polyurethane (PU) with different composition ratios (9/1, 8/2, 7/3, 6/4, 5/5) are constructed and simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The effects PU content on blend compatibility mechanical properties investigated solubility parameters, the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, binding energy, glass transition temperatur...

In the present paper, inter-atomic pair potentials in alkali–metals and IB group metals, in crystal state and diatomic system, respectively, are systematically calculated by means of electronic density functional theory with several exchange-correlation (EC) functional approximations. In the absence of experimental potential function information, experimentally available bonding length and bind...

Having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. In present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and RAPD markers. Significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...
