| 11:00 - 12:30 Technical Groups Meeting- Vacuum System of LTB & BTS (Vacuum Group) School ILSF List of ILSF Technical Groups Meeting ... 13:30 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar (Online) https://www.skyroom.online/ch/soa/weekly-seminar School ASTRONOMY In this talk I review the recent works on the astrophysical implications of Mashhoon-Hehl nonlocal gravity (NLG) theory. I discuss the physical characteristics of the effective dark matter in NLG specifically within the dwarf galaxies like the ultra-diffuse galaxies AGC 114905, 242019, and 219533. Furthermore, I present the results of some high-resolution galactic simulations conducted in NLG, and discuss the analytical computation of the dynamical friction force in NLG in the presence and absence of tidal effects. This force plays significant roles in connection with the dynamics of the stellar bars. ... 14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar Atomistic and Coarse-grained Simulations of Polymer Melts and Nanocomposites School NANO SCIENCES Molecular simulations are powerful and predictive tools for studying polymers in bulk and at interfaces. However, simulation of high molecular weight entangled polymers is not straightforward, because of the broad ranges of time and length scales involved in their motions. Here we present a hierarchical simulation methodology for the calculation of the dynamical and linear viscoelastic properties of polymer melts. At the finest level, chains are described via an atomistic model. At a moderately coarse-grained (mCG) level, few atoms (e.g., one monomer) of the chain are lumped into one CG bead. The mCG potentials are derived based on the finer ... |
