A new solvation model that combines discrete and continuum descriptions of the solvent has been developed. The discrete solvent molecules are represented by effective fragment potentials (EFP), while the continuum is represented by the Onsager model. This (EFP+Onsager) model has been applied to the relative stabilities of the neutral and zwitterionic forms of glycine. Other supermolecule-contin...

Solid polycrystalline materials undergoing diffusion creep are usually described by Cauchy continuum models with a Newtonian viscous rheology dependent on the grain size. Such lacks rotational degrees of freedom needed to describe rotation. Here we provide more general description that includes rotation, and identifies deformation material micropolar (Cosserat) fluid. We derive expressions for ...
