Because numerical simulations with classical Johnson-Cook formulation of explosively formed projectiles induce non representative projectiles, a modified Johnson-Cook model taking into account the thermally activated and viscous regimes as well as the notion of saturation stress in the 10 s regime has been developed. Using both models, numerical experimental comparisons of Taylor and explosivel...

OBJECTIVE Youth with ADHD and comorbid anxiety (ADHD+ANX) experience increased social and academic impairment compared with youth with ADHD without anxiety (ADHD). Group differences in attentional and impulse control may underlie this increased impairment. Examination of group differences using behavioral measures of attentional and impulse control has yielded inconsistent findings. This study ...

1) Introduction In 2003 Sony introduced the use of MPEG-2 video compression for broadcast production applications in the family of Optical and memory-based tapeless solutions known as XDCAM. Today, with more than 400,000 devices, encompassing from EFP/ENG camcorders to studio record/play-back decks, servers and complete suites of editing systems and powerful workflows, XDCAM has become the most...

Interactions between halide ions (fluoride and iodide) and t-butyl alcohol (TBA) dissolved in water are probed using a recently developed hydration-shell spectroscopic technique and theoretical cluster and liquid calculations. High ignal-to-noise Raman spectroscopic measurements are combined with multivariate curve resolution (Raman-MCR) to reveal that while there is little interaction between ...

A force matching technique based on previous work by Voth and co-workers is developed and employed to coarse grain intermolecular potentials for three common solvents: carbon tetrachloride, benzene, and water. The accuracy of the force-matching approach is tested by comparing radial distribution functions (RDF) obtained from simulations using the atomistic and coarse-grained potentials. Atomist...

The surface affinity of the hydronium ion in water is investigated with umbrella sampling and classical molecular dynamics simulations, in which the system is described with the effective fragment potential (EFP). The solvated hydronium ion is also explored using second order perturbation theory for the hydronium ion and the empirical TIP5P potential for the waters. Umbrella sampling is used to...

Structures and binding in small water-benzene complexes (1-8 water molecules and 1-2 benzene molecules) are studied using the general effective fragment potential (EFP) method. The lowest energy conformers of the clusters were found using a Monte Carlo technique. The binding energies in the smallest clusters (dimers, trimers, and tetramers) were also evaluated with second order perturbation the...
