The motion of a eukaryotic cell presents a variety of interesting and challenging problems from both a modeling and a computational perspective. The processes span many spatial scales (from molecular to tissue) as well as disparate time…
Kinetic equations for the stationary state distribution function of ions moving through narrow pores are solved for a number of one-dimensional models of single ion transport. Ions move through pores of length $L$, under the action of a…
Cellular bioelectricity describes the biological phenomenon in which cells in living tissue generate and maintain patterns of voltage gradients induced by differing concentrations of charged ions. A growing body of research suggests that…
We present an efficient method for modeling the single and double ionization dynamics of the H$_2$ molecule in ultrashort intense laser fields. This method is based on a semi-analytical approach to calculate the time-dependent single and…
A kinetic theory is developed to describe radiating electrons whose motion is governed by the Lorentz-Dirac equation. This gives rise to a generalized Vlasov equation coupled to an equation for the evolution of the physical submanifold of…
We present numerical simulations of ultrafast multiphoton ionization dynamics in a two-dimensional atomic model driven by co- and counterrotating circularly polarized single-color and bichromatic carrier envelope phase (CEP) stable…
When plotted in linear transformations of the Michaelis-Menten equation, ion uptake in plants has been shown to be multiphasic, i.e. to be represented by a series of straight lines separated by discontinuous transitions (Nissen 1971, 1974,…
In our last paper, we have reported the direct interact between energetic ions and DNA, and its components, pointing out that damage to DNA is actually of highest biological consequence, as the integrity of DNA sequence is essential for…
Electroporation is increasingly used as a percutaneous ablation technique for tumours located near vital structures. Although effective, tumour regrowth may still occur. At the same time, in vitro studies on cell monolayers have shown that…
In this work we approach cell migration under a large-scale assumption, so that the system reduces to a particle in motion. Unlike classical particle models, the cell displacement results from its internal activity: the cell velocity is a…
The strong coupling between intense laser fields and valence electrons in molecules causes a distortion of the potential energy hypersurfaces which determine the motion of nuclei in a molecule and influences possible reaction pathways. The…
A one-dimensional Particle-In-Cell Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) method has been used to model the development and propagation of ionization waves in neon and argon positive columns. Low current conditions are considered, i.e. conditions…
The potential energy curves, permanent and transition dipole moments, and the static dipolar polarizability, of molecular ions composed of one alkali-metal atom and a Strontium ion are determined with a quantum chemistry approach. The…
Understanding and controlling the electronic as well as ro-vibrational motion and, thus, the entire chemical dynamics in molecules is the ultimate goal of ultrafast laser and imaging science. In photochemistry, laser-induced dissociation…
We show that when the unparticle sector is coupled to the Standard Model, unparticle excitations can decay to Standard Model particles. This radically modifies the signals of unparticle production. We present a method for the calculation of…
We study the rate of activated motion over multiple barriers, in particular the correlated double-jump of an adatom diffusing on a missing-row reconstructed Platinum (110) surface. We develop a Transition Path Theory, showing that the…
Extensions have been made recently to the coronal approximation for the purpose of modelling line emission from carbon and oxygen in the lower solar atmosphere. The same modelling is used here for other elements routinely observed in the…
Aspects of cell metabolism are modeled by ordinary differential equations describing the change of intracellular chemical concentrations. There is a correspondence between this dynamical system and a complex network. As in the classic…
Virtually all cells use energy and ion-specific membrane pumps to maintain large transmembrane gradients of Na$^+$, K$^+$, Cl$^-$, Mg$^{++}$, and Ca$^{++}$. Although they consume up to 1/3 of a cell's energy budget, the corresponding…
We extend the semiclassical two-step model [Phys. Rev. A 94, 013415 (2016)] to include a multielectron polarization-induced dipole potential. Using this model we investigate the imprints of multielectron effects in the momentum…
