On short time scales an underlying Arrhenius temperature dependence of the diffusion constant can be extracted from the fragile, super-Arrhenius diffusion of a binary Lennard-Jones mixture. This Arrhenius diffusion is related to the true super-Arrhenius behavior by a factor that depends on the average angle between steps in successive time windows. The correction factor accounts for the fact th...

Diffusion is interesting because it is slow. As a result, many studies of diffusion seek ways to make the process fast and selective. For example, most membrane separations use thin polymer films to recover particular chemicals. Nitrogen is separated from air, and water is purified by ultrafiltration. This is an active and important area of diffusion research. However, in other cases, we may se...

We report the self-diffusion coefficients and hindrance factor of diffusion of ions into cylindrical silica nanopores. We compare with the hindered diffusion coefficients used in continuum-based models of NF. Hindrance factors for diffusion estimated from the macroscopic hydrodynamic theory were found to be in fair quantitative agreement with MD simulations for a protonated pore but they strong...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epidermal growth factor receptor amplification is a common molecular event in glioblastomas. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential usefulness of morphologic and diffusion MR imaging signs in the prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor gene amplification status in patients with glioblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed pretreatment MR imagin...

background and purpose : there has been no report in which preoperative evaluation of adc for prediction of post therapeutic outcome was presented. the aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluation the use of the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) for the prediction of malignancy and the outcome of malignant astrocytic tumors. methods: we reviewed mri of 26 male and 14 female patients wi...

Molten sodium bromide has been investigated by quasielastic neutron scattering focusing on the wave vector range around the first structure factor peak. The linewidth of the scattering function shows a narrowing around the wave number of the structure factor peak, known as deGennes narrowing. In a monatomic system, this narrowing or in the time domain slowing down, has been related to a self-di...
