Abstract:
Generalized Langevin equations with non-linear forces and position-dependent linear friction memory kernels, such as commonly used to describe the effective dynamics of coarse-grained variables in molecular dynamics, are rigorously derived within the Mori-Zwanzig formalism. A fluctuation-dissipation theorem relating the properties of the noise to the memory kernel is shown. The derivation also yields Volterra-type equations for the kernel, which can be used for a numerical parametrization of the model from all-atom simulations.

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...
