Based on the results of a pilot study, the following rhetorical patterns were analyzed in the corpus: text-referring expressions, degree of epis...

Predicting transport from equilibrium structure is a challenging problem in liquid state physics. Here we probe glass forming composed of self-propelled “active” particles and show that increasing the duration self-propulsion makes pair excess entropy negatively larger. The associated reduction number accessible configurations per particle leads to self-diffusivity. At moderate supercooling, se...
