Global Free-Energy Landscapes as a Smoothly Joined Collection of Local Maps

Michele Ceriotti, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Federico Giberti

Enhanced sampling techniques have become an essential tool in computational chemistry and physics, where they are applied to sample activated processes that occur on a time scale that is inaccessible to conventional simulations. Despite their popularity, i ...

On decoupling rate processes in chemical reaction systems - Methods and applications

Michael Amrhein, Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

Models of chemical reaction systems can be complex as they need to include information regarding the reactions and the mass and heat transfers. The commonly used state variables, namely, concentrations and temperatures, express the interplay between many p ...

Experimental Characterization of a T-Shaped Programmable Multistable Mechanism

Simon Nessim Henein, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Programmable multistable mechanisms (PMM) exhibit a modifiable stability behavior in which the number of stable states, stiffness, and reaction force characteristics are controlled via their programming inputs. In this paper, we present experimental charac ...

Inference for binomial probability based on dependent Bernoulli random variables with applications to meta-analysis and group level studies

Stephan Morgenthaler

We study bias arising as a result of nonlinear transformations of random variables in random or mixed effects models and its effect on inference in group-level studies or in meta-analysis. The findings are illustrated on the example of overdispersed binomi ...

Identifying important state variables for a blind controller

Nicolas Morel, David Daum

In literature many different blind controller have been proposed and it has been shown in most cases, that they can provide energy savings and better comfort. In the early approaches they where based only on one state variable, but over time more variables ...
