Interacting Growth Walk on a honeycomb lattice

The Interacting Growth Walk (IGW) is a kinetic algorithm proposed recently for generating long, compact, self avoiding walks. The growth process in IGW is tuned by the so called growth temperature $T' = 1/(k_B \beta ')$. On a square lattice and at $T' = 0$, IGW is attrition free and hence grows indefinitely. In this paper we consider IGW on a honeycomb lattice. We take contact energy, see text, as $\epsilon=-|\epsilon|=-1$. We show that IGW at $\beta' =\infty$ ($T'=0$) is identical to Interacting Self Avoiding Walk (ISAW) at $\beta=\ln 4$ ($k_B T = 1/\ln 4=0.7213$). Also IGW at $\beta ' = 0$ ($T' = \infty$) corresponds to ISAW at $\beta = \ln 2$ ($k_B T= 1/ln 2 = 1.4427$). For other temperatures we need to introduce a statistical weight factor to a walk of the IGW ensemble to make correspondence with the ISAW ensemble.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, REVTEX fil

C−\mathcal {C}-IBI: Targeting cumulative coordination within an iterative protocol to derive coarse-grained models of (multi-component) complex fluids

We present a coarse-graining strategy that we test for aqueous mixtures. The method uses pair-wise cumulative coordination as a target function within an iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) like protocol. We name this method coordination iterative Boltzmann inversion ($\mathcal {C}-$IBI). While the underlying coarse-grained model is still structure based and, thus, preserves pair-wise solution structure, our method also reproduces solvation thermodynamics of binary and/or ternary mixtures. Additionally, we observe much faster convergence within $\mathcal {C}-$IBI compared to IBI. To validate the robustness, we apply $\mathcal {C}-$IBI to study test cases of solvation thermodynamics of aqueous urea and a triglycine solvation in aqueous urea

The Interrelationship between Domestic Space Planning and the Chosen Peristyle Flooring

UIDB/00417/2020 UIDP/00417/2020Within the RoGeMoPorTur project, a specifc approach was adopted to analyse the importance of the peristyle not only as a central element of communication and link between the diferent architectural components of the villa, but also as an expression of a vision very specifc to its owner as a member of a Roman or Romanised elite: The peristyle, as the entrance to the villa from outside, was at the same time the frst recipient of its cultural message and socio-economic power. This study aims at a typologisation of the spatial dialogue chosen by the landowner for the introduction to that message through the pavement decoration of the peristylepublishersversionpublishe
