Disordered Photosynthetic Aggregates Can Host Functional Vibronic Couplings At Room Temperature
Photosynthesis relies on a network of chlorophyll-like molecules which together lead to efficient long-range energy funneling. Evidence at cryogenic temperatures suggests that mechanistic details of energy/charge transfer must invoke delocalized vibronic states. Whether these survive at physiological temperature in large photosynthetic aggregates is an open question. Parallel research on artificial templates has relied on cyanines which are unlike chlorophylls. We report two-dimensional electro…

Powiedzmy, że potrzebujesz pobrać wersję biblioteki Intel #MKL.
Nie możesz do tego używać plików pkg-config, bo nie każda kombinacja dystrybucji z wersją mkl instaluje te pliki. Na dodatek, nie pokazując nikogo palcami, jedna dystrybucja instaluje pliki pkg-config z "debian" w polu wersji.
Jest stała INTEL_MKL_VERSION, którą można zgarnąć preprocesorem C. Tyle że semantyka tej stałe…

Dynamic Stall Characteristics and Modelling of Time-Varying Pitching Kinematics
We present an experimental investigation examining how the complexity of pitching kinematics influences dynamic stall characteristics, including the stall delay and aerodynamic force response. The study examines whether the pitch rate defined at the static stall angle adequately characterises time-varying pitching kinematics for stall onset prediction. We then evaluate the performance of the generalised Goman-Khrabrov model in predicting force responses of nonlinear pitching motions and propose…
