Three-Dimensional patchy lattice model for empty fluids

The phase diagram of a simple model with two patches of type A and ten patches of type B (2A10B) on the face centred cubic lattice has been calculated by simulations and theory. Assuming that there is no interaction between the B patches the behavior of the system can be described in terms of the ratio of the AB and AA interactions, r. Our results show that, similarly to what happens for related off-lattice and two-dimensional lattice models, the liquid-vapor phase equilibria exhibit reentrant behavior for some values of the interaction parameters. However, for the model studied here the liquid-vapor phase equilibria occur for values of r lower than 1/3, a threshold value which was previously thought to be universal for 2AnB models. In addition, the theory predicts that below r = 1/3 (and above a new condensation threshold which is < 1/3) the reentrant liquid-vapor equilibria are so extreme that it exhibits a closed loop with a lower critical point, a very unusual behavior in single-component systems. An order-disorder transition is also observed at higher densities than the liquid-vapor equilibria, which shows that the liquid-vapor reentrancy occurs in an equilibrium region of the phase diagram. These findings may have implications in the understanding of the condensation of dipolar hard spheres given the analogy between that system and the 2AnB models considered here.

An integrated approach to Physcomitrella patens transcriptomics reveals importantclues of the evolutionary development of plant organs and sexual reproduction

Land plant evolution required the generation of a new body plan that could resist the harsher and fluctuating environmental conditions found outside of aquatic environments. Unraveling the genetic basis of plant developmental innovations is not only revealing in terms of an evolutionary point of view, but it is also important for understanding the emergence of agronomically important traits. Comparative genetic studies between basal and modern land plants, both at the genome and trancriptome levels, can help in the generation of hypotheses related to the genetic basis of plant evolutionary development.(...)

Experiments in square lattice with a common treatment in all blocks

This paper deals with a generalization of square lattice designs, with k² treatments in blocks of k + 1 plots, the extra plot in each block receiving a standard treatment, the same for all blocks. The new design leads to lower variances for contrasts between adjusted treatment means

The existence of periodic solutions of a two dimensional Lattice

We consider a two dimensional lattice coupled with nearest neighbor interaction potential of power type. The existence of infinite many periodic solutions is shown by using minimax methods.

Diseño de filtros de onda acústica basados en estructuras "half lattice"

En los últimos tiempos la telefonía móvil ha experimentado una reducción de los terminales gracias a la miniaturización de los filtros a frecuencias de microondas. Los filtros pasa banda más utilizados son los basados en la tecnología SAW, sin embargo son incompatibles con tecnologías de silicio y su comportamiento se degrada a frecuencias superiores de 3 GHz, por ello los estudios actuales se centran en la tecnología BAW. Las dos arquitecturas convencionales de filtros basados en resonadores BAW unidos eléctricamente son el ladder y lattice. Sin embargo, en este proyecto se estudiará la topología half lattice, la cual presenta un mejor comportamiento y unas dimensiones más reducidas. Para ello se obtendrán las ecuaciones de diseño del filtro, y con ellas se realizará la implementación a partir de la frecuencia central y el ancho de banda relativo.
