The response function of domain growth processes, and in particular the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, are studied both analytically and numerically. In the asymptotic limit of large times, the fluctuation-dissipation ratio X, which quantifies this violation, tends to one if C...

We show that the numerical method based on the off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relation does work and is very useful and powerful in the study of disordered systems which show a very slow dynamics. We have verified that it gives the right information in the known cases (diluted...

For the computation of the morphological changes on reservoir beds, in scale model experiments, a hydrodynamic model is combined with the sediment continuity equation. The hydrodynamic model is based upon the equations of mass and momentum conservation. The sediment transport capacity appearing...

The in vivo variable fluorescence of chlorophyll a is used as a non-intrusive probe of the physiological state of intact leaves. It was established that the origin of this signal is the antenna system of photosystem II (PSII). The PSII population is heterogeneous with respect to antenna size,...
