Models of fluidized granular materials: examples of non-equilibrium stationary states
Andrea Puglisi, Fabio Cecconi, Angelo Vulpiani
We review some models of granular materials fluidized by means of external forces such as: random homogeneous forcing with damping, vibrating plates, flow in an inclined channel an…
Brownian motion and diffusion: from stochastic processes to chaos and beyond
Fabio Cecconi, Massimo Cencini, Massimo Falcioni +1
One century after Einstein's work, Brownian Motion still remains both a fundamental open issue and a continous source of inspiration for many areas of natural sciences. We first pr…
Topological thermal instability and length of proteins
R. Burioni, D. Cassi, F. Cecconi +1
We present an analysis of the effects of global topology on the structural stability of folded proteins in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath. For a large class of single domain…
Inelastic hard-rods in a periodic potential
Fabio Cecconi, Umberto Marini-Bettolo-Marconi, Fabiana Diotallevi +1
A simple model of inelastic hard-rods subject to a one-dimensional array of identical wells is introduced. The energy loss due to inelastic collisions is balanced by the work suppl…
