Lattice Boltzmann for quantum field theory

Analysis of contrast-enhanced dynamic MR images of the lung

Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describing pulmonary perfusion. However, breathing motion, susceptibility artifacts, and a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) make automatic pixel-by-pixel analysis difficult. In the present…

Friction forces in cosmological models

Large deviations of Poisson cluster processes

We prove scalar and sample path large deviations principles for Poisson cluster processes and apply the results to Hawkes processes.

Tethered Semiflexible Polymer under Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear

The properties of a semiflexible polymer with fixed ends exposed to oscillatory shear flow are investigated by simulations. The two-dimensionally confined polymer is modeled as a linear bead-spring chain, and the interaction with the fluid is described by the Brownian multiparticle collision…

Ten years of MIPAS measurements with ESA Level 2 processor V6-Part 1: Retrieval algorithm and diagnostics of the products

The MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) instrument on the Envisat (Environmental satellite) satellite has provided vertical profiles of the atmospheric composition on a global scale for almost ten years. The MIPAS mission is divided in two phases: the full resolution…

Conformational freedom of proteins and the maximal probability of sets of orientations

We study the inverse problem of determining the relative orientations of the moving C- and N-terminal domains in a flexible protein from measurements of its mean magnetic susceptibility tensor ?¯ . The latter is an integral average of rotations of the corresponding magnetic susceptibility tensor…

Amplitude effects on seismic velocities: How low can we go?

alpha-quartz is one of the most important SiO2 polymorphs because it is the basis of very common minerals, especially for seabed materials with geoscientific importance. The elastic characterization of these materials is particularly relevant when the properties governing phonon and sound…

Splitting schemes and energy preservation for separable Hamiltonian systems

It is known that symplectic algorithms do not necessarily conserve energy even for the harmonic oscillator. However, for separable Hamiltonian systems, splitting and composition schemes have the advantage to be explicit and can be constructed to preserve energy. In this paper we describe and test…
