<Abstract:> Plumbing stains grow up from invisible attachment of urea and urolith in the molecular level to biofilms in which bacteria adsorb such nutrients and secrete extracellular polymer substances. In order to understand and control such biofilm growth, we have developed a multiscale simulation that can analyze from adhesion of stains on the molecular scale to accumulation of biofilm on actual scale. In the present study, the biofilm growth and peeling by shear flow was successfully simulated for the condition of typical toilet use.

<Abstract:> As an attempt at the electronic structure calculations of the B-type model-DNA, (poly-(guanine) poly-(cytosine)) model polymers is performed by means of ab initio crystal orbital method adapting the screw axis-symmetry which results in great reduction of computational efforts. All sugar backbones and ions are included in the calculations. Energy band structures are calculated at 3-21G and 6-31G levels. The effective mass of hole shows a relatively large value while that of electron shows a smaller value which suggests electron conduction in the DNA backbones.

<Abstract:> The mechanism of rolling frictions of wheel is discussed in relation with movement of Reuleaux-pentagons. In fact, driving and braking processes lead us to the suggestion that hysteresis-energy loss model is naturally obtained. In addition to this, the combined model of hysteresis-energy loss and differential-slip mechanisms is proposed so as to promote the computational investigations for rolling frictions of wheel.

<Abstract:> Thermal conductivity of 4-n-alkyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl (nCB) simulated by using molecular dynamics method. We modified the dihedral angle parameter and the LJ parameters of the original AMBER Force Field for nCB. The dihedral angle parameter was corrected by using quantum chemical calculation, and the LJ parameters were fitted to reproduce the experimental data. Thermal conductivity was calculated by Green-Kubo Method. MD calculation using the corrected force field gave good thermal conductivity close to experimental value and successfully reproduced the anisotropy of thermal conductivity in the liquid crystal phase.

<Abstract:> Mechanistic studies for linear cross-dimerization between 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and 2,5-dihydrofuran by a Ru(0) complex, Ru(η6-naphthalene) (η4 1,5-COD), were performed computationally. The rate-determining steps of main and side reactions are different mechanisms, and correspond to the reductive elimination step and the oxidative coupling step, respectively. This suggests that the yield of the main product may be improved by modification of the heterocyclic compound or catalyst structure. In addition, the computational studies predicted that cross-dimerization between 2,3-dimethylbuta-1,3-diene and 2,5-dihydropyrrole may occur via a similar reaction mechanism.

<Abstract:> Enumeration of the conformers and conformational analysis were successfully conducted for an octahedral [M(ABC)6] complex. In this report the methods and results were briefly described. In the enumeration, 7173 conformers were found by the computational group theory method, and among them, 130 conformers were found to have stable M(AB)6 cores of S6 symmetry. The structures of the 130 conformers of [Zn(DMSO)6]2+ (DMSO: dimethylsulfoxide) were optimized by the DFT method, and the most stable conformer was obtained.

<Abstract:> We estimated surface energies of all flat surfaces of forsterite within the framework of density functional theory. We found that surface energy of (120) surface is the lowest and those of (010), (130) and (112) surfaces are followed subsequently. Morphology of forsterite at 0 K is predicted. Calculated Si K-edge XANES spectra of silicon in forsterite are consistent with experiments.
