Coal-CO[subscript 2] Slurry Feed for Pressurized Gasifiers: Slurry Preparation System Characterization and Economics
(Elsevier, 2013-08)Gasification-based plants with coal-CO[subscript 2] slurry feed are predicted to be more efficient than those with coal-water slurry feed. This is particularly true for high moisture, low rank coal such as lignite. ... -
Coalescence Model for Crumpled Globules Formed in Polymer Collapse
(American Physical Society, 2015-08)The rapid collapse of a polymer, due to external forces or changes in solvent, yields a long-lived “crumpled globule.” The conjectured fractal structure shaped by hierarchical collapse dynamics has proved difficult to ... -
Coalitional game theory based local power exchange algorithm for networked microgrids
(Elsevier BV, 2019)© 2019 Elsevier Ltd The future distribution network may encompass a large number of microgrids, in which case local networked microgrids can be formed and all the microgrids in the network be connected to the main grid ... -
Coalitional game with opinion exchange
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-01)In coalitional games, traditional coalitional game theory does not apply if different participants hold different opinions about the payoff function that corresponds to each subset of the coalition. In this paper, we propose ... -
A Coarray Fortran implementation to support data-intensive application development
(Springer US, 2013-10)In this paper, we describe our experiences in implementing and applying Coarray Fortran (CAF) for the development of data-intensive applications in the domain of Oil and Gas exploration. The successful porting of reverse ... -
A coarse-grained mechanical model for folding and unfolding of tropoelastin with possible mutations
(Elsevier BV, 2021)We propose a simple general framework to predict folding, native states, energy barriers, protein unfolding, as well as mutation induced diseases and other protein structural analyses. The model should not be considered ... -
Coarse-Grained Model of Tropoelastin Self-Assembly into Nascent Fibrils
(Elsevier BV, 2019-06)Elastin is the dominant building block of elastic fibers that impart structural integrity and elasticity to a range of important tissues, including the lungs, blood vessels, and skin. The elastic fiber assembly process ... -
Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of immobilized micelle systems and their interactions with hydrophobic molecules
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2022-06-22)<jats:p>Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of immobilized micelles show that immobilizing constraints can strengthen micelle–small molecule interactions with important implications for drug delivery, water ... -
A Coarse-Grained Molecular Model for Glycosaminoglycans: Application to Chondroitin, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Hyaluronic Acid
(Elsevier, 2005-06)A coarse-grained molecular model is presented for the study of the equilibrium conformation and titration behavior of chondroitin (CH), chondroitin sulfate (CS), and hyaluronic acid (HA)—glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) that play ... -
Coarse-grained reduced Mo Ti1−Nb2O7+ anodes for high-rate lithium-ion batteries
(Elsevier BV, 2020-10)High-volumetric-energy-density lithium-ion batteries require anode material with a suitable redox potential, a small surface area, and facile kinetics at both single-particle and electrode level. Here a family of coarse-grained ... -
Coarse-Grained Simulations Suggest the Epsin N-Terminal Homology Domain Can Sense Membrane Curvature without Its Terminal Amphipathic Helix
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020)© 2020 American Chemical Society. Nanoscale membrane curvature is a common feature in cell biology required for functions such as endocytosis, exocytosis and cell migration. These processes require the cytoskeleton to exert ... -
Coarse-grained, density dependent implicit solvent model reliably reproduces behavior of a model surfactant system
(American Institute of Physics, 2009-05)Density dependent, implicit solvent (DDIS) potentials, the generation of which has been described previously [ E. C. Allen and G. C. Rutledge, J. Chem. Phys. 128, 154115 (2008) ; E. C. Allen and G. C. Rutledge, J. Chem. ... -
Coarse-graining auto-encoders for molecular dynamics
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12)Molecular dynamics simulations provide theoretical insight into the microscopic behavior of condensed-phase materials and, as a predictive tool, enable computational design of new compounds. However, because of the large ... -
Coarsening and solidification via solvent-annealing in thin liquid films
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-04)We examine solidification in thin liquid films produced by annealing amorphous Alq[subscript 3] (tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium) in methanol vapour. Micrographs acquired during annealing capture the evolution of the ... -
Coarsening by network restructuring in model nanoporous gold
(2011-12)Using atomistic modeling, we show that restructuring of the network of interconnected ligaments causes coarsening in a model of nanoporous gold. The restructuring arises from the collapse of some ligaments onto neighboring ... -
Coastal Bacterial Community Response to Glacier Melting in the Western Antarctic Peninsula
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-01-01)Current warming in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has multiple effects on the marine ecosystem, modifying the trophic web and the nutrient regime. In this study, the effect of decreased surface salinity on the marine ... -
