Lepidoptera Recorded From the Islands of Western Lake Erie, With a Brief Account of Geology and Flora
A list of Lepidoptera from the islands of western Lake Erie is presented along with a brief account of the geology, flora, and human activities in the area. The checklist contains 169 species representing 27 families. Suggestions are made for the improvement of this preliminary checklist as well as for future research
Generalised Einstein Relation for Hot Brownian Motion
The Brownian motion of a hot nanoparticle is described by an effective Markov
theory based on fluctuating hydrodynamics. Its predictions are scrutinized over
a wide temperature range using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of a
hot nanoparticle in a Lennard-Jones fluid. The particle positions and momenta
are found to be Boltzmann distributed according to distinct effective
temperatures and . For we
derive a formally exact theoretical prediction and establish a generalised
Einstein relation that links it to directly measurable quantities
Hot Brownian Motion
We derive the generalized Markovian description for the non-equilibrium
Brownian motion of a heated particle in a simple solvent with a
temperature-dependent viscosity. Our analytical results for the generalized
fluctuation-dissipation and Stokes-Einstein relations compare favorably with
measurements of laser-heated gold nano-particles and provide a practical
rational basis for emerging photothermal technologies.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
