Revisiting the work "Brownian motion with time-dependent friction and single-particle dynamics in liquids" by Lad, Patel, and Pratap [Phys. Rev. E 105, 064107 (2022)]
Recently, Lad, Patel, and Pratap (LP&P) [Phys. Rev. E 105, 064107 (2022)] revisited a microscopic theory of molecular motion in liquids, proposed by Glass and Rice [Phys. Rev. 176, 239 (1968)]. Coming from this theory, LP&P derived a new equation of motion for the velocity autocorrelation function (VAF) and argued that the friction coefficient of particles in liquids should exponentially depend on time. The numerical solution of this equation was fitted to the results of molecular dynamics simu…

Evolution of coronal mass ejections with and without sheaths from the inner to the outer heliosphere -- statistical investigation for 1975-2022
This study covers a thorough statistical investigation of the evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) with and without sheaths, through a broad heliocentric distance and temporal range. The analysis treats the sheath and magnetic obstacle (MO) separately to gain more insight about their physical properties. In detail, we aim to unravel different characteristics of these structures occurring over the inner and outer heliosphere. The method is based on a large statistical sampl…
