We discuss recent developments in macroscopic-microscopic mass models, including the 1992 finite-range droplet model, the 1992 extended-ThomasFermi Strutinsky-integral model, and the 1994 Thomas-Fermi model, with particular emphasis on how well they extrapolate to new regions of nuclei. We also address what recent developments in macroscopic-microscopic mass models are teaching us about such ph...

objective (s): scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. this study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation around the sciat...

The infrared emission band spectrum associated with many different interstellar objects can be modeled successfully by using combined laboratory spectra of neutral and positively charged polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These model spectra, shown here for the first time, alleviate the principal spectroscopic criticisms previously leveled at the PAH hypothesis and demonstrate that mixtur...

Interaction of charged particles with each other and/or with external fields results in emission of electromagnetic radiation. This article considers the emission arising as fast (nonthermal) particles move through media with random inhomogeneities. The nature of these inhomogeneities might be rather arbitrary. One of the simplest examples of inhomogeneities is a distribution of the microscopic...

The goal of this paper is to derive rigorously macroscopic traffic flow models from microscopic models. More precisely, for the models, we consider follow-the-leader type with different types drivers and vehicles which are distributed randomly on road. After a rescaling, show that cumulative distribution function converges solution model. We also establish connection between model so-called Lig...
