The problem of electrostatic potential distribution in superconductors is studied based on the microscopic theory of superconductors. Local chemical potential of the superconductor is introduced, and an approximation is made to BG theory, which is similar to the Thomas-Fermi (TF) method used in quantum mechanics. The electrostatic potential and charge distribution around an isolated vortex in t...

A procedure to derive the electrostatic potential (ESP) for dynamic charge densities obtained from structure models or maximum-entropy densities is introduced. The ESP essentially is obtained by inverse Fourier transform of the dynamic structure factors of the total charge density corresponding to the independent atom model, the multipole model or maximum-entropy densities, employing dedicated ...

The high charge density of nucleic acids and resulting ion atmosphere profoundly influence the conformational landscape of RNA and DNA and their association with small molecules and proteins. Electrostatic theories have been applied to quantitatively model the electrostatic potential surrounding nucleic acids and the effects of the surrounding ion atmosphere, but experimental measures of the po...

Pulsed energization of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) may represent one of the most promising solutions to comply with strict environmental regulation in case of high resistivity dust. Performs a parametric cost comparison between conventional and pulsed ESP with reference to four main industrial areas: electric power generation, cement manufacturing, iron and steel production, glass industry...

ESPSim is an open source JAVA program that enables the comparisons of protein electrostatic potential maps via the computation of an electrostatic similarity measure. This program has been utilized to demonstrate a high degree of electrostatic similarity among the potential maps of lysozyme proteins, suggesting that protein electrostatic states are conserved within lysozyme proteins. ESPSim is ...

The dimerizations of membrane proteins, Outer Membrane Phospholipase A (OMPLA) and glycophorin A (GPA), have been simulated by an adapted Brownian Dynamics program. To mimic the membrane protein environment, we introduced a hybrid electrostatic potential map of membrane and water for electrostatic interaction calculations. We added a van der Waals potential term to the force field of the curren...
