Arguments in favour of physical reality of the peculiar (200÷300) Mpc scale in the distribution of the rich clusters of galaxies

Improved Gaussian self-consistent method—applications to homopolymers with different architectures in dilute solution

“…More importantly, this well known deficiency of the theory by des Cloizeaux becomes irrelevant when considering the theta-point or the poor solvent conditions. Therefore, activity on further extending and improving the GSC theory has persisted, notably in Milan by G. Allegra and F. Ganazzoli et al 21,5,3,2,22,23,10 , in Saclay by H. Orland and T. Garel et al 17,18,6 , as well as in our Group in Dublin 8,7,1,4,11,12 , and some collaborations between these have emerged 9 . Furthermore, extensions of the GSC theory to kinetics, as well as to essentially any polymeric system, have been also achieved.…”

Comparison of the energy histograms and conformations between different lattice models of copolymers

“…Depending on which particular feature one is trying to describe thus there are models of amphiphilic [7,8] and charged copolymers [2] after solvent molecules have been effectively excluded from the consideration by integration (see Refs. [9,10] for details). The model with a quadratic term in composition variables, σ i σ j V (r ij ), in the Hamiltonian is often called the random 'charge' model.…”
