ABA triblock copolymer-based model networks in the bulk: Effect of the number of arms on microphase behavior
(2005)The microphase separation behavior in the strong segregation limit of model networks based on cross-linked ABA triblock copolymers in the bulk was investigated by calculating analytically the Gibbs free energies of the ...

Change of θ dependence in 4D SU(N) gauge theories across the deconfinement transition
(2013)We study the dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories on the topological θ term at finite temperature T. We exploit the lattice formulation of the theory, presenting numerical results for the expansion of the free energy up ...

Characterization of the Optimal Disturbance Attenuation for Nonlinear Stochastic Uncertain Systems
(2003)This paper is concerned with an abstract formulation of stochastic optimal control systems, in which uncertainty is described by a relative entropy constraint between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, while ...

Continuum treatment of long-range interactions in free energy calculations. Application to protein-ligand binding
(1997)A method is proposed to include long-range electrostatic interactions in free energy calculations that involve the creation or deletion of net charges in a macromolecule. The vicinity of the mutation site is treated ...

Dissecting the stabilization of iodide at the air-water interface into components: A free energy analysis
(2006)Recent experiments and simulations show that large chaotropic anions favor solvation at the water surface, mainly due to induction interactions dominated by ionic polarizabilities. We compare the solvation free-energy ...

Equation of state for star polymers in good solvents
(2000)A free-energy model for star polymers was developed in good solvents that accurately describes concentrated polymer solutions and displays the correct universal scaling behaviour, in the limit of infinite molecular weight, ...

The lattice free energy of QCD with clover fermions, up to three-loops
(2008)We calculate the perturbative value of the free energy in Lattice QCD, up to three loops. Our calculation is performed using Wilson gluons and the Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover) improved action for fermions. The free ...

Microphase separation in ABA triblock copolymer-based model conetworks in the bulk: Effect of loop formation
(2006)This work estimates the free energy and domain size and predicts the phase diagram of microphase-separated model polymer conetworks, consisting of end-linked ABA triblock copolymers with cross-link points of relatively low ...

Preadsorbed water-promoted mechanism of the water-gas shift reaction
(2008)In this work, a detailed first principle study of the mechanism of the heterogeneous catalytic water-gas shift (WGS) reaction on a rhodium cluster is presented. A large number of possible reaction mechanisms relevant to ...

Relations between information theory, robustness, and statistical mechanics of stochastic systems
(2004)The fundamental question, which will be addressed in this talk are the relations between dissipation, which is a concept of robustness, entropy rate, which is a concept of information theory, and statistical mechanics. ...

Robust control of uncertain context-sensitive probabilistic Boolean networks
(2009)Uncertainty is an intrinsic phenomenon in control of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). The presence of uncertainty is related to impreciseness of GRN models due to: (1) Errors caused by imperfection of measurement devices ...

θ Dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories at finite temperature
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)We report a study of the dependence of 4D SU(N) gauge theories on the topological θ term at finite temperature, and in particular in the large-N limit. We show that theθ dependence drastically changes across the deconfinement ...
