It helped that Ms. Gadbois is an outsider, an energetic relative newcomer from Boston — she came here in 2002 — with a professed love for the city that easily outpaces the resignation of more established residents.
Inspired by the well known robustness analysis framework used in Electronic Design Automation, we introduced a notion of robustness for proteins and two dimensionless quantities: the energetic yield and the energetic relative entropy.
We used the energetic yield in order to quantify the robustness of a protein, and to detect sensitive regions and sensitive residues in the protein, whereas we adopted the energetic relative entropy to measure the discrepancy between two potential energy distributions.
Together, these results suggest that fish swimming at the front of the school gain an energetic advantage relative to swimming alone, but the effect of different ranks within the school is comparatively modest.
To specifically test whether all school members, including those swimming at the very front of the school (rank = 1) gain an energetic advantage relative to swimming alone or at any other position within a school, we constructed a linear mixed effects model (LME) with tail-beat frequency as the response variable and swimming speed and context as explanatory variables.
Relative energetic positions, varied also by intra-molecular interactions of functional side groups, determine the effective band gap.
We investigate the relative energetic stability of a variety of nanographene structures such as graphene nanoflakes, nanoribbons, nanodisks, and nanocones.
Some of the structural and electronic properties were investigated, such as the ionization potential, electron affinity, Fermi energy, chemical hardness, and relative energetic stability.
This problem can be overcome using other approximations, such as GW; however, in this work, we focused on the relative energetic stability and electronic property differences between the pores and, hence, did not apply any correction.
As carbyne has been stated to take either a cumulene (=C = C=) or a polyyne form (-C ≡ C-), small test structures (rings with n = 20 and n = 36) were minimized using ReaxFF to check the relative energetic stability of each structure (Figure 2).
The observed strong isotopic fractionation in solar energetic particle events relative to solar wind abundances is explained as a possible three-step process: 1) Depending on their charge-to-mass ratio, ions are selectively pre-accelerated by plasma waves in the solar atmosphere or in interplanetary space.
