TLDR
The optimized δ-expansion is a nonperturbative approach for field theoretic models which combines the techniques of perturbation theory and the variational principle as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The optimized δ-expansion is a nonperturbative approach for field theoretic models which combines the techniques of perturbation theory and the variational principle This technique is discussed in the λφ4 model and then implemented in the Walecka model for the equation of state of nuclear matter The results obtained with the δ expansion are compared with those obtained with the traditional mean field, relativistic Hartree and Hartree-Fock approximations

Quantum mechanical continuum solvation models.

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling procedure called "Continuum Methods within MD and MC Simulations 3072", which automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of integrating discrete and continuous components into a discrete-time model.

Inference of macromolecular assemblies from crystalline state.

TL;DR: A new method, based on chemical thermodynamics, is developed for automatic detection of macromolecular assemblies in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries that are the results of X-ray diffraction experiments, as found, biological units may be recovered at 80-90% success rate, which makesX-ray crystallography an important source of experimental data on macromolescular complexes and protein-protein interactions.

Force fields for protein simulations

TL;DR: The chapter focuses on a general description of the force fields that are most commonly used at present and gives an indication of the directions of current research that may yield better functions in the near future.

The role and utilization of pseudocapacitance for energy storage by supercapacitors

TL;DR: In this paper, the double-layer capacitance of carbon powder electrodes has been used as a means of storing electrical energy in a supercapacitor or an ultracapacitor, where the pseudocapacitance arises when, for thermodynamic reasons, the charge q required for progression of an electrode process is a continuous function of potential, V ; then the derivative d q /d V corresponds to a capacitance but one of a Faradaic kind.
