We investigate the stationary state of Symmetric and Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Processes with local resetting, on a one-dimensional lattice with periodic boundary conditions, using mean-field approximations, which appear to be…
In a previous study we developed a mean-field theory of dynamical transitions for the totally-asymmetric simple-exclusion process (TASEP) with open boundaries and Langmuir kinetics, in the so-called balanced regime, characterized by equal…
We study the dynamics of an asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries and local interactions using a pair approximation which generalizes the 2-node cluster mean field theory and the Markov chain approach to kinetics and…
We investigate a lattice-fluid model of water, defined on a 3-dimensional body-centered cubic lattice. Model molecules possess a tetrahedral symmetry, with four equivalent bonding arms. The model is similar to the one proposed by Roberts…
In the framework of Husimi and Bethe lattices, we investigate a generalized polymer model that incorporates as special cases different models previously studied in the literature, namely, the standard interacting self-avoiding walk, the…
In a previous paper [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 024506 (2008)] we studied a 3 dimensional lattice model of a network-forming fluid, recently proposed in order to investigate water anomalies. Our semi-analytical calculation, based on a…
We consider a 3-dimensional lattice model of a network-forming fluid, which has been recently investigated by Girardi and coworkers by means of Monte Carlo simulations [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{126}, 064503 (2007)], with the aim of describing…
We consider a lattice polymer model (random walk), in which the walk is allowed to visit lattice bonds at most twice. Such a model might have some relevance to describe statistical properties of RNA molecules. In order to mimic base…
In a previous work, we investigated a two-dimensional lattice-fluid model, displaying some waterlike thermodynamic anomalies. The model, defined on a triangular lattice, is now extended to aqueous solutions with apolar species. Water…
We investigate a lattice-fluid model of water, defined on a three-dimensional body centered cubic lattice. Model molecules possess a tetrahedral symmetry, with four equivalent bonding arms, aiming to mimic the formation of hydrogen bonds.…
We investigate a lattice-fluid model defined on a two-dimensional triangular lattice, with the aim of reproducing qualitatively some anomalous properties of water. Model molecules are of the "Mercedes Benz" type, i.e., they possess a D3…
