Information visibility and its effect on supply chain dynamics
Supply chains are nonlinear dynamic systems, the control of which is complicated by long, variable delays in product and information flows. In this thesis, we present a novel framework for improving the visibility of information in supply chains by reducing the delays in information flow. We first …

Chain dynamical theories of protein folding
… of protein folding must take into account chain dynamics. The energy landscape description of protein folding accommodates two rather distinct behaviors of the polypeptide chain: the glassy dynamics expected for heteropolymers with random interactions and the organized dynamics expected for …

Polymer and sphere diffusion in confinement
… even at very high confinement whereas polymer chains at high confinement can not be modeled by this far field approach. We find that the polymer chain dynamics at high confinement can be explained well by a blob model scaling.
