Co-produced decentralised surveys as a trustworthy vector to put employees' well-being at the core of companies' performance
Adèle Bréart De Boisanger, Wendy Sims-Schouten, Francois Sicard
Assessing employees' well-being has become central to fostering an environment where employees can thrive and contribute to companies' adaptability and competitiveness in the marke…
Biohybrid membrane formation by directed insertion of Aquaporin into a solid-state nanopore
Francois Sicard, A. Ozgur Yazaydin
Technical challenges in molecule sensing and chemical detection have created an increasing demand for transformative materials with high sensitivity and specificity. Biohybrid nano…
Role of Structural Rigidity and Collective Behaviour in the Molecular Design of Gas Hydrates Anti-Agglomerants
François Sicard, Alberto Striolo
Antiagglomerants (AAs) are surface active molecules widely used in the rubber and petroleum industry, among others. In the petroleum industry, it is believed that AAs strongly adso…
Nanoparticles actively fragment armored droplets
François Sicard, Jhoan Toro-Mendoza, Alberto Striolo
Understanding the complexity of fragmentation processes is essential for regulating intercellular communication in mechanistic biology and developing novel bottom-up approaches in…
Emergent Properties of Antiagglomerant Films Control Methane Transport: Implications for Hydrate Management
François Sicard, Tai Bui, Deepak Monteiro +4
The relation between collective properties and performance of antiagglomerants (AAs) used in hydrate management is handled using molecular dynamics simulations and enhanced samplin…
Buckling in Armored Droplets
François Sicard, Alberto Striolo
The issue of the buckling mechanism in droplets stabilized by solid particles (armored droplets) is tackled at a mesoscopic level using dissipative particle dynamics simulations. W…
Numerical analysis of Pickering emulsion stability: insights from ABMD simulations
François Sicard, Alberto Striolo
The issue of the stability of Pickering emulsions is tackled at a mesoscopic level using dissipative particle dynamics simulations within the Adiabatic Biased Molecular Dynamics fr…
DNA denaturation bubbles: free-energy landscape and nucleation/closure rates
François Sicard, Nicolas Destainville, Manoel Manghi
The issue of the nucleation and slow closure mechanisms of non superhelical stress-induced denaturation bubbles in DNA is tackled using coarse-grained MetaDynamics and Brownian sim…
Scaling quasi-stationary states in long range systems with dissipation
Michael Joyce, Jules Morand, François Sicard +1
Hamiltonian systems with long-range interactions give rise to long lived out of equilibrium macroscopic states, so-called quasi-stationary states. We show here that, in a suitably…
Reconstructing the free-energy landscape of Met-enkephalin using dihedral Principal Component Analysis and Well-tempered Metadynamics
Francois Sicard, Patrick Senet
Well-Tempered Metadynamics (WTmetaD) is an efficient method to enhance the reconstruction of the free-energy surface of proteins. WTmetaD guarantees a faster convergence in the lon…
Exponents of non-linear clustering in scale-free one dimensional cosmological simulations
David Benhaiem, Michael Joyce, François Sicard
One dimensional versions of cosmological N-body simulations have been shown to share many qualitative behaviours of the three dimensional problem. They can resolve a large range of…
Non-linear gravitational clustering of cold matter in an expanding universe: indications from 1D toy models
Michael Joyce, François Sicard
Studies of a class of infinite one dimensional self-gravitating systems have highlighted that, on the one hand, the spatial clustering which develops may have scale invariant (frac…
A dynamical classification of the range of pair interactions
Andrea Gabrielli, Michael Joyce, Bruno Marcos +1
We formalize a classification of pair interactions based on the convergence properties of the {\it forces} acting on particles as a function of system size. We do so by considering…
1-d gravity in infinite point distributions
Andrea Gabrielli, Michael Joyce, Francois Sicard
The dynamics of infinite, asymptotically uniform, distributions of self-gravitating particles in one spatial dimension provides a simple toy model for the analogous three dimension…
