Biomolecules are the prime information processing elements of living matter. Most of these inanimate systems are polymers that compute their own structures and dynamics using as input seemingly random character strings of ...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of several consumer characteristics (gender, age, education, agreeableness, conscientiousness and prior online experience) on consumers frustration levels with retail ...

Natural protein domains must be sufficiently stable to fold but often need to be locally unstable to function. Overall, strong energetic conflicts are minimized in native states satisfying the principle of minimal frustration. ...

We study, by means of the density matrix renormalization group, the infinite U Hubbard model—with one hole doped away from half filling—in triangular and square lattices with frustrated hoppings, which invalidate Nagaoka’s ...

The energy landscape theory has been an invaluable theoretical framework in the understanding of biological processes such as protein folding, oligomerization, and functional transitions. According to the theory, the energy ...

We theoretically investigate atomic frustrated states in diatomic molecules hosted by the bilayer graphene setup twisted by the first magic angle and with broken inversion symmetry in the Dirac cones of the system mini ...

During extinction a previously learned behavior stops being reinforced. Besides the decrease in the rate of the instrumental response, it produces an aversive emotional state known as frustration. This state, at the ...

The magnetic phase diagram of a plaquette dimerized and frustrated antiferromagnetic ladder system is studied by using a combination of numerical and analytical techniques. For the strongly frustrated regime, series ...

Frustration can be defined as an emotional state generated by the omission or devaluation in the quantity or quality of an expected appetitive reward. Thus, reactivity to a reward is affected by prior experience with the ...
