Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
Investigation of Allosteric Coupling in Human Beta(2)-Adrenergic Receptor in the Presence of Intracellular Loop 3
(BMC, 2016)
Background: This study investigates the allosteric coupling that exists between the intra- and extracellular parts of human beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-AR) in the presence of the intracellular loop 3 (ICL3) which ...
The Electrochromic Performances of Single Phase VO2 Nanoparticled Films
(Elsevier Science SA, 2016)
In the present work pure phase vanadium oxide VO2 nanoparticled films were synthesized using acetate based sol-gel precursors. The effect of the water: Vanadyl acetylacetonate ratio on electrochemical and structural ...
Determination of growth kinetics and size dependent structural morphological optical characteristics of sol-gel derived silica nanoparticles in silica matrix
(De Gruyter Poland Sp Zoo, 2019)
Nanocomposite silica thin films made using the sol-gel method were studied. The nano-silica films were prepared using a mixture of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) deionized water ethanol and ammonia solution. To control ...
The Drosophila fragile X mental retardation protein participates in the piRNA pathway
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2015)
RNA metabolism controls multiple biological processes and a specific class of small RNAs called piRNAs act as genome guardians by silencing the expression of transposons and repetitive sequences in the gonads. Defects in ...
Microscopic nuclear level densities by the shell model Monte Carlo method
(Cern, 2015)
The configuration-interaction shell model approach provides an attractive framework for the calculation of nuclear level densities in the presence of correlations but the large dimensionality of the model space has hindered ...
Exploring distinct binding site regions of beta(2)-adrenergic receptor via coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey-Tubitak, 2013)
beta(2)-Adrenergic receptor (beta(2)AR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that is highly flexible and able to recognize a wide range of ligands through its conformational variations. Active and inactive conformations revealed ...
Signatures of phase transitions in nuclei at finite excitation energies
(Amer Inst Physics, 2012)
The mean-field approximation predicts pairing and shape phase transitions in nuclei as a function of temperature or excitation energy. However in the finite nucleus the singularities of these phase transitions are smoothed ...
Recent developments in the shell model Monte Carlo approach to nuclei
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2012)
The shell model Monte Carlo (SMMC) approach provides a powerful method for the microscopic calculation of statistical and collective nuclear properties in model spaces that are many orders of magnitude larger than those ...
Study of Thermal Phase Transitions in Iota Carrageenan Gels via Fluorescence Technique
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
The effect of carrageenan concentration on thermal phase transitions of the iota carrageenan gels was investigated by using fluorescence technique. During heating and cooling processes scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence ...
