PFG NMR Diffusion Experiments for Complex Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present examples of robust, versatile diffusion experiments that can be used with non-deuterated solvents and at non-ambient temperatures, including CONVEX, which combines excitation-sculpting solvent suppression with double-echo convection-compensating PGSE, DQDiff, which implements double-quantum filtered diffusion measurements in a convection compensating mode; and applications of Oscillating-Gradient Spin-Echo to systems with homonuclear scalar couplings.

4 Modeling Biogeochemical Cycles

TL;DR: In this article, the basic concepts used in the description and modeling of biogeochemical cycles are introduced and defined, including the turnover time, the ratio between the content (M) of a reservoir and the total flux out of it (S), and the residence time, defined as the time spent in a reservoir by an individual atom or molecule.

GENERIC guide to the multiscale dynamics and thermodynamics

TL;DR: GENERIC as mentioned in this paper is an abstract equation collecting themathematical structure guaranteeing agreement of its solutions with results of certain basic experimental observations (conservations ofmass and energy and the approach to equilibrium atwhich the classical equilibrium thermodynamics applies).

Space-Time Continuous Models of Swarm Robotic Systems: Supporting Global-to-Local Programming

Heiko Hamann
TL;DR: A generic model in as far as possible mathematical closed-formis developed that predicts the behavior of large self-organizing robot groups (robot swarms) based on their control algorithm.

Thermokinetic approach of the generalized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with spin-polarized current

TL;DR: In this article, the thermokinetic theory is applied to a metallic ferromagnet in contact with a reservoir of spin-polarized conduction electrons, and the spin-flip relaxation of the conduction electron is described thermodynamically as a chemical reaction.
