This book demonstrates, via formal statements and empirical illustrations, that nonlinearities in social processes can be modeled systematically to create solutions with practical applications in the institutional forms of paid employment, schooling, and familial relations including marital and...

In this work we study, at the single molecular level, the thermodynamic and dynamic characteristics of an enzymatic reaction comprising a rate limiting step. We investigate how the stability of the enzyme-state stationary probability distribution, the reaction velocity, and its efficiency of...

The motion of a particle on a flexible one-dimensional base is investigated numerically. It is regarded as a barrier-overcoming process in a multi-dimensional phase space. Driving the system far from equilibrium, a directional flow of the particle is observed. In order to understand the...

Steady-state flow and structural profiles of immiscible components A and B (molecular weights MA and MB, MAMB) in a non-conservative open system are studied by an interacting lattice gas Monte Carlo simulation. Concentration gradient and hydrostatic bias H drive the constituents (A,B) which are...
