We generate a porous structure by computer simulation in (2+1) dimension using a bidisperse ballistic deposition model. Particles of two different sizes are deposited randomly creating a porous bulk bounded by a highly irregular upper surface. The structure of the interface is connected to the...

In this work we study the problem of tax evasion on a fully-connected population. For this purpose, we consider that the agents may be in three different states, namely honest tax payers, tax evaders and undecided, that are individuals in an intermediate class among honests and evaders. Every...

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for eight different metals to calculate their constant volume heat capacity and latent heat in both liquid and solid phases. The atomic interaction for the simulations is taken as modeled by the n-body semi-empirical Gupta potential. The per atom...

A CO+NO→CO2+12N2 surface reaction model is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The surface is represented by triangular and square lattices and the diffusion of N and lateral interaction between reactant nearest-neighbor adatoms is considered. The influence of diffusion of N to...

Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in order to study adsorption thermodynamics of pairwise interacting particles on fractal surfaces. Diffusion-limited aggregates (DLA) have been used as a substrate where interacting particles are adsorbed. In order to obtain aggregates...

In the present paper, patterns of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) grown on nonuniform substrates are investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We consider a nonuniform substrate as the largest percolation cluster of dropped particles with different structures and forms that occupy...

Based on both the theories of cellar biology and the results of experimental observations a dynamical model of birth and death-diffusion type has been suggested for popular growth of bacillus and evolution of nutrition in the single-species bacillus system with a growth–propagation source. It...

Volcán Citlaltépetl (Pico de Orizaba) with an elevation of 5,675 m is the highest volcano in North America. Its most recent catastrophic events involved the production of pyroclastic flows that erupted approximately 4,000, 8,500, and 13,000 years ago. The distribution of mapped deposits from...

Rainwater harvesting has been studied in different countries as a way of easing water availability problems and reducing potable water demand in buildings. The most important factor relating to the efficiency of a rainwater system is the correct sizing of the rainwater tank. Therefore, the...

In the conventional Avrami–Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl model, the reaction or phase transition occurring in the 2D or 3D infinite medium is considered to start and proceed around randomly distributed and/or appearing nucleation centers. The radius of the regions transformed is assumed to...
