Discrete molecular dynamics studies of the folding of a protein-like model

Nikolay V. Dokholyan, Sergey V. Buldyrev, H. Eugene Stanley +1

Background: Many attempts have been made to resolve in time the folding of model proteins in computer simulations. Different computational approaches have emerged. Some of these ap…

Identifying the protein folding nucleus using molecular dynamics

Nikolay V. Dokholyan, Sergey V. Buldyrev, H. Eugene Stanley +1

Molecular dynamics simulations of folding in an off-lattice protein model reveal a nucleation scenario, in which a few well-defined contacts are formed with high probability in the…

Tsallis statistics with normalized q-expectation values is thermodynamically stable: illustrations

A. R. Lima, T. J. P. Penna

We present a study of both the ``Iterative Procedure'' and the `` transformation'', proposed by Tsallis et al (Physica A261, 534) to find the probabilities of a syst…

Dynamic behavior of driven interfaces in models with two absorbing states

Sungchul Kwon, WonMuk Hwang, Hyunggyu Park

We study the dynamics of an interface (active domain) between different absorbing regions in models with two absorbing states in one dimension; probabilistic cellular automata mode…

A thermodynamically reversible generalization of Diffusion Limited Aggregation

Raissa M. D'Souza, Norman H. Margolus

We introduce a lattice gas model of cluster growth via the diffusive aggregation of particles in a closed system obeying a local, deterministic, microscopically reversible dynamics…

Spontaneous Stratification in Granular Mixtures

Hernan A. Makse, Shlomo Havlin, Peter R. King +1

Granular materials size segregate when exposed to external periodic perturbations such as vibrations. Moreover, mixtures of grains of different sizes spontaneously segregate in the…

Mechanisms of Granular Spontaneous Stratification and Segregation in Two-Dimensional Silos

Pierre Cizeau, Hernan A. Makse, H. Eugene Stanley

Spontaneous stratification of granular mixtures has been reported by Makse et al. [Nature 386, 379 (1997)] when a mixture of grains differing in size and shape is poured in a quasi…

Dynamics of Granular Stratification

Hernan A. Makse, Robin C. Ball, H. Eugene Stanley +1

Spontaneous stratification in granular mixtures has been recently reported by H. A. Makse et al. [Nature 386, 379 (1997)]. Here we study experimentally the dynamical processes lead…

Kinematic Segregation of Flowing Grains in Sandpiles

Hernan A. Makse

We study the segregation of granular mixtures in two-dimensional silos using a set of coupled equations for surface flows of grains. We study the thick flow regime, where the grain…

Microscopic Model for Granular Stratification and Segregation

Hernan A. Makse, Hans J. Herrmann

We study segregation and stratification of mixtures of grains differing in size, shape and material properties poured in two-dimensional silos using a microscopic lattice model for…

Stratification Instability in Granular Flows

Hernan A. Makse

When a mixture of two kinds of grains differing in size and shape is poured in a vertical two-dimensional cell, the mixture spontaneously stratifies in alternating layers of small…

Possible Stratification Mechanism in Granular Mixtures

Hernan A. Makse, Pierre Cizeau, H. Eugene Stanley

We propose a mechanism to explain what occurs when a mixture of grains of different sizes and different shapes (i.e. different repose angles) is poured into a quasi-two-dimensional…

Persistence of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang Interfaces

Harald Kallabis, Joachim Krug

The probabilities that a growing Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface remains above or below the mean height in the time interval are shown numerically to decay…

Interacting Monomer-Dimer Model with Infinitely Many Absorbing States

WonMuk Hwang, Hyunggyu Park

We study a modified version of the interacting monomer-dimer (IMD) model that has infinitely many absorbing (IMA) states. Unlike all other previously studied models with IMA states…

Universality in sandpiles

Alessandro Chessa, H. Eugene Stanley, Alessandro Vespignani +1

We perform extensive numerical simulations of different versions of the sandpile model. We find that previous claims about universality classes are unfounded, since the method prev…

Maxwell Model of Traffic Flows

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

We investigate traffic flows using the kinetic Boltzmann equations with a Maxwell collision integral. This approach allows analytical determination of the transient behavior and th…

Influence of Island Diffusion on Submonolayer Epitaxial Growth
