Rare-EarthMetal Triflates Inclusion Complexes withCobalt(II) Hemicryptophane Tren Cage

Abstract Rare-earth metal triflates can modulate the structure, redox properties, and reactivity of transition-metal complexes when confined in supramolecular hosts. In this paper, we have investigated the inclusion of rare-earth metal triflates (Ln(OTf)3, Ln = Dy, Yb, La, Lu) in...

Optimized and Aligned Anisotropic Monte Carlo Sampling Patterns

Abstract Path tracing uses Monte Carlo integration to solve the rendering equation by evaluating the integrand at random sampling points. The convergence rate of the error can be significantly improved by using correlated instead of random sampling, especially on smooth integrand...

Simulation of Particle Structure Rearrangement and Reaction in Wall-Flow Filters at High Flow Velocities with Lattice Boltzmann Methods

Wall-flow filters are used in exhaust gas after treatment systems to reduce particulate matter emissions from internal combustion engines. The particles accumulate on the filter surface during operation, forming a layer that progressively increases the flow resistance and thus th...
