Boltzmann inversion method

Both the inverse Monte Carlo and iterative Boltzmann inversion methods are semi-automatic since the radial distribution function needs to be re-evaluated at... 

RDFs calculated from a CG simulation using these initial interaction potentials differ from those calculated from the atomistic simulation. An inverse Monte Carlo algorithm is therefore used to iteratively refine these interaction potentials by correcting them by the difference between the CG and atomistic RDFs. This is essentially the same method that was used by Shelley et al to derive the parameters between the CG lipid head group particles, and is also similar to the Boltzmann inversion method, " which also uses an iterative procedure that uses RDFs measured from atomistic simulations to derive CG interaction potentials. Lyubartsev has used this method to fully parameterize his own CG model of DMPC. 

In another approach, He et al. (He et al., 2013) proposed a 2-site per nucleotide (NARES-2P, nucleic acid united residue 2-point model) CG model where chain connectivity, excluded volume and base dipole interactions are sufficient to form helical DNA and RNA structures. This model was parametrized using a bottom-up strategy by employing a set of statistical potentials, derived from DNA and RNA structures from the Protein Data Bank, and the Boltzmann inversion method to reproduce the structural features. The base-base interactions were parametrized by fitting the potential of mean force to detailed all-atoms MD simulations using also the Boltzmann inversion approach. The respective potentials do not explicitly define the nucleic-acid structure, dynamics and thermod3mamics, but are derived as potentials of mean force. By detailed analysis of the different contribution to the Hamiltonian, the authors determined that the multipole-multipole interactions are the principal factor responsible for the formation of regular structures, such as the double helical structures.

In structure matching methods, potentials between the CG sites are determined by fitting structural properties, typically radial distribution functions (RDF), obtained from MD employing the CG potential (CG-MD), to those of the original atomistic system. This is often achieved by either of two closely related methods, Inverse Monte Carlo [12-15] and Boltzmann Inversion [5, 16-22], Both of these methods refine the CG potentials iteratively such that the RDF obtained from the CG-MD approaches the corresponding RDF from an atomistic MD simulation. 

Summary. The semiclassical Boltzmann-Langevin method is extended to calculations of higher cumulants of current. Rs efficiency is demonstrated for mesoscopic diffusive contacts and chaotic cavities. We show that in addition to a dispersion at the inverse RC time characteristic of charge relaxation, higher cumulants of noise have a low-frequency dispersion at the inverse dwell time of electrons in the system. 

Concerning the secrnid option to generate numerically a tabulated potential that closely reproduces a given melt structure, the iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBl) method [29,41, 51, 52] has been developed. 

This is a sequential method, the simulations at atomistic and CG levels are treated separately. Potentials for collection of atoms i.e., CG beads) are derived from the all atomistic MD simulations. There are different ways to get the potentials for the coarse grained systems. Derivation of potentials from Boltzmann inversion of several bonded and non-bonded distributions (structure based) and force matching from all atomistic MD trajectories followed by their applications will be discussed in the following sections.

The production of MO in ground and electronically excited states by the reactions of M + 02, NO, N20, N02, 03 and S02 has been studied by laser-induced fluorescence and visible chemiluminescence methods. The reactions M + 02 have been particularly well studied. For Y + 02 and Sc + 02, emission is observed [389] from the A2Tl and A 2A states of MO and the branching ratios for population of these states are statistical. The MO vibrational population distribution in the A2Yli/2 state is statistical, whilst the distributions for the other states show inversion. The MO (A) rotational distributions can be fitted by Boltzmann forms with temperatures which differ from the vibrational temperatures [392]. For...
