Partition Constant of Binary Mixtures for the Equilibrium between a Bulk and a Confined Phase
(2022-09-15)It is well-known that the thermodynamic, kinetic and structural properties of fluids, and in particular of water and its solutions, can be drastically affected in nanospaces. A possible consequence of nanoscale confinement ... -
Existence, Uniqueness, and Numerical Modeling of Wine Fermentation Based on Integro-Differential Equations
(2022)Predictive modeling is key for saving time and resources in manufacturing processes such as fermentation arising in food and chemical manufacturing. To make reliable predictions, realistic models representing the most ... -
Numerical Regge pole analysis of resonance structures in state-to-state reactive differential cross sections
(2022-04-19)This is the third (and the last) code in a collection of three programs [Sokolovski et al. (2011), Akhmatskaya et al. (2014)] dedicated to the analysis of numerical data, obtained in an accurate simulation of an atom-diatom ... -
On the interfacial lithium dynamics in Li7La3Zr2O12:poly(ethylene oxide) (LiTFSI) composite polymer-ceramic solid electrolytes under strong polymer phase confinement
(2022-05-27)A better molecular-level understanding of Li+ diffusion through ceramic/polymer interfaces is key to designing high-performance composite solid-state electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries. By considering as a case ... -
Wigner's friends, tunnelling times and Feynman's "only mystery of quantum mechanics"
(2022-01-13)Recent developments in elementary quantum mechanics have seen a number of extraordinary claims regarding quantum behaviour, and even questioning internal consistency of the theory. These are, we argue, different disguises ... -
The topology of higher-order complexes associated with brain hubs in human connectomes
(2020-12-01)Higher-order connectivity in complex systems described by simplexes of different orders provides a geometry for simplex-based dynamical variables and interactions. Simplicial complexes that constitute a functional geometry ... -
Tunnelling times, Larmor clock, and the elephant in the room
(2021-05-11)A controversy surrounding the “tunnelling time problem” stems from the seeming inability of quantum mechanics to provide, in the usual way, a definition of the duration a particle is supposed to spend in a given region of ... -
Multiscale Modelling and Simulation of Advanced Battery Materials
(2021)Development of efficient strategies for the rational design of materials involved in the production and storage of renewable energy is essential for accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. To contribute to ... -
Unveiling Interfacial Li-Ion Dynamics in Li7La3Zr2O12/PEO(LiTFSI) Composite Polymer-Ceramic Solid Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries
(2021-06-23)Unlocking the full potential of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) is key to enabling safer and more-energy dense technologies than today’s Li-ion batteries. In particular, composite materials comprising a conductive, flexible ... -
A Tool for Custom Construction of QMC and RQMC Point Sets
(2021)We present LatNet Builder, a software tool to find good parameters for lattice rules, polynomial lattice rules, and digital nets in base 2, for quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) and randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) sampling over ... -
Density Estimation by Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo
(2021)Estimating the density of a continuous random variable $X$ has been studied extensively in statistics, in the setting where $n$ independent observations of $X$ are given a priori and one wishes to estimate the density from ... -
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Density Estimation via Conditioning
(2021)Estimating the unknown density from which a given independent sample originates is more difficult than estimating the mean, in the sense that for the best popular non-parametric density estimators, the mean integrated ... -
Variance Reduction with Array-RQMC for Tau-Leaping Simulation of Stochastic Biological and Chemical Reaction Networks
(2021)We explore the use of Array-RQMC, a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method designed for the simulation of Markov chains, to reduce the variance when simulating stochastic biological or chemical reaction networks with ... -
