The mechanism of fragmentation processes in aqueous nanodroplets charged with ions is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. By using constant-temperature MD, the evaporation of the water is naturally taken into account and sequences of ion fragmentation events are observed. The size of the critical radius of the charged droplet just before the fragmentation and the distribution of the...

Theory predicts widespread loss of genetic diversity from drift and inbreeding in trees subjected to habitat fragmentation, yet empirical support of this theory is scarce. We argue that population genetics theory may be misapplied in light of ecological realities that, when recognized, require scrutiny of underlying evolutionary assumptions. One ecological reality is that fragment boundaries of...

Abstract Bayesian confirmation theory is our best formal framework for describing inductive reasoning. The problem of old evidence a particularly difficult one theory, because it suggests that this fails to account central and important cases reasoning scientific inference. I show we can appeal the fragmentation doxastic states solve theory. This solution independently well-motivated success in...

This paper is concerned with the formulation and analysis of particle fragmentation by a mathematical approach of the kinetic theory. We consider a fairly general model which may require a description of the internal configuration of each particle, like internal energy. The fragmentation process is supposed to occur due to the configuration of the corresponding particle; An easy modification wo...
