ABSTRACT

Diffusion of methane diluted in supercritical carbon dioxide is studied by experiment and molecular simulation in the temperature range from 292.55 to 332.85 K along the isobars 9.0, 12.5 and 14.7 MPa. Measurements of the Fick diffusion coefficient are carried out with the Taylor dispersion technique. Molecular dynamics simulation and the Green-Kubo formalism are employed to obtain Fick, Maxwell-Stefan and intradiffusion coefficients as well as shear viscosity. The obtained diffusion coefficients are on the order of 10-8 m2/s. The composition, temperature and density dependence of diffusion is analyzed. The Fick diffusion coefficient of methane in carbon dioxide shows an anomaly in the near-critical region. This behavior can be attributed to the crossing of the so-called Widom line, where the supercritical fluid goes through a transition between liquid-like and gas-like states. Further, several classical equations are tested on their ability to predict this behavior and it is found that equations that explicitly include the density are better suited to predict the sharp variation of the diffusion coefficient near the critical region predicted by molecular simulation.

ABSTRACT

Most existing methods used for gene regulatory network modeling are dedicated to inference of steady state networks, which are prevalent over all time instants. However, gene interactions evolve over time. Information about the gene interactions in different stages of the life cycle of a cell or an organism is of high importance for biology. In the statistical graphical models literature, one can find a number of methods for studying steady-state network structures while the study of time varying networks is rather recent. A sequential Monte Carlo method, namely particle filtering (PF), provides a powerful tool for dynamic time series analysis. In this work, the PF technique is proposed for dynamic network inference and its potentials in time varying gene expression data tracking are demonstrated. The data used for validation are synthetic time series data available from the DREAM4 challenge, generated from known network topologies and obtained from transcriptional regulatory networks of S. cerevisiae. We model the gene interactions over the course of time with multivariate linear regressions where the parameters of the regressive process are changing over time.
