Comparing particle-particle and particle-hole channels of random-phase approximation [PDF]
We present a comparative study of particle-hole and particle-particle channels of random-phase approximation (RPA) for molecular dissociations of different bonding types. We introduced a \textit{direct} particle-particle RPA scheme, in analogy to the \textit{direct} particle-hole RPA formalism, whereby the exchange-type contributions are excluded. This

Unified gas-kinetic wave-particle methods VI: Disperse dilute gas-particle multiphase flow [PDF]
In this paper, a unified gas-kinetic wave-particle scheme (UGKWP) for the disperse dilute gas-particle multiphase flow is proposed. The gas phase is always in the hydrodynamic regime. However, the particle phase covers different flow regimes from particle trajectory crossing to the hydrodynamic wave interaction with the variation of local particle ...

Synthetic biology for bioengineering virus‐like particle vaccines
Vaccination is the most effective method of disease prevention and control. Many viruses and bacteria that once caused catastrophic pandemics (e.g., smallpox, poliomyelitis, measles, and diphtheria) are either eradicated or effectively controlled through

One-Particle and Few-Particle Billiards [PDF]
We study the dynamics of one-particle and few-particle billiard systems in containers of various shapes. In few-particle systems, the particles collide elastically both against the boundary and against each other. In the one-particle case, we investigate the formation and destruction of resonance islands in (generalized) mushroom billiards, which are a

Fluid particle dynamics: a synthesis of dissipative particle dynamics and smoothed particle dynamics [PDF]
We present a generalization of dissipative particle dynamics that includes shear forces between particles. The new algorithm has the same structure as the (isothermal) smoothed particle dynamics algorithm, except that it conserves angular momentum and includes thermal fluctuations consistently with the principles of equilibrium statistical mechanics ...

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Radiative View Factor Correlations in Particulate Media from Ray Tracing Simulations and Data-Driven Modeling [PDF]
Thermal radiation in particulate media has been extensively modeled by solving the radiative transport equation with effective radiative properties or with statistical ray tracing techniques. While effective for static particles, this approach is not compatible with the more common discrete formulation of heat fluxes in particle flow systems.
