Bioaccumulation of Metals in Tissues of Marine Animals, Part I: the Role and Impact of Heavy Metals on Organisms
PublikacjaHeavy metals contribute to the anthropogenic contamination of marine ecosystems. Some of them are essential to the life processes of organisms; others are toxic, even at low concentrations. They penetrate organisms via food, respiratory pathways or the skin. The extent to which metals penetrate organisms is measured by the bioconcentration and bioaccumulation factors and also by their transport between organisms at different trophic...

Quantum-classical calculations of the nanomechanical properties of metals
PublikacjaTradycyjnie symulacje komputerowe układów w skali atomowej prowadzone są przy użyciu klasycznej metody dynamiki molekularnej (MD) bądź kwantowych metod ab initio. Główną wadą ujęcia klasycznego jest jego empiryczna natura, a co za tym idzie - niewielka przenośność, jego prostota natomiast pozwala na przeprowadzanie symulacji układów zawierających miliony atomów. W wyniku zastosowania metod kwantowych otrzymuje się bardziej wiarygodne...
