Dimensional reduction occurs when the critical behavior of one system can be related to that of another system in a lower dimension. We show that this occurs for directed branched polymers (DBP) by giving an exact relationship between DBP…
We treat the accurate simulation of the calcination reaction in particles, where the particles are large and, thus, the inner-particle processes must be resolved. Because these processes need to be described with coupled partial…

Polymer chains dissolved in a solvent take random conformations due to large internal degrees of freedom and are characterized geometrically by their average shape and size. The diffusive dynamics of such large macromolecules play an…
Effective models for slender structures derived from well-known plate (or shell) theories are justified within the limit of a small thickness, and may therefore prove limited for intermediate slenderness. On the other hand, direct 3D…
