Nonlinear modeling technique for the analysis of DNA chains.

Using a simple computational procedure, we examine DNA chains from different species in order to prove their nonlinear deterministic structures. This procedure applies a nonlinear modeling technique based upon quantitative comparison of the neighborhoods from similar DNA subsegments of size d. Our results reveal that noncoding regions exhibit a deterministic signature at sizes larger than a characteristic dimension d(c). Applications to evolutionary categories and recognition of different DNA regions are discussed.

Molecular-dynamics simulation of two-dimensional thermophoresis

A numerical technique is presented for the thermal force exerted on a solid particle by a gaseous medium between two flat plates at different temperatures, in the free molecular or transition flow. This is a two-dimensional molecular-dynamics simulation of hard disks in a inhomogeneous thermal environment. All steady-state features exhibited by the compressible hard-disk gas are shown to be consistent with the expected behaviors. Moreover the thermal force experienced by a large solid disk is investigated, and compared to the analytical case of cylinders moving perpendicularly to the constant temperature gradient for an infinite Knudsen number and in an infinite medium. We show precise examples of how this technique can be used simply to investigate more difficult practical problems, in particluar the influence of nonlinear gradients for large applied differences of temperature, of proximity of the walls, and of smaller Knudsen numbers.
