Prolonged river water pollution due to variable-density flow and solute transport in the riverbed

A laboratory experiment and numerical modeling were used to examine effects of density gradients on hyporheic flow and solute transport under the condition of a solute pulse input to a river with regular bed forms. Relatively low-density gradients due to a ...

Reactive oxygen species production and signalling as a component of salinity tolerance mechanism in cereals

Amandine Massart

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive and toxic by-products of the aerobic metabolism, which are overproduced during period of stress. They disturb the cell machinery and induce oxidative damages on important biological macromolecules. Salinity ...

Thermodynamics of Writhe in DNA Minicircles from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Jonathan Mitchell

DNA supercoiling plays a role in genetic control by imposing torsional stress. This can induce writhe, which changes the global shape of the DNA. We have used atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to partition the free energy changes driving the writhin ...

Force spectroscopy of barnase-barstar single molecule interaction

Giovanni Dietler, Mélanie Favre, Dmitry Klinov

Results of the single molecule force spectroscopy study of specific interactions between ribonuclease barnase and its inhibitor barstar are presented. Experimental data obtained for the force loading rate ranging 2-70 nN/s are well approximated by a single ...

Modeling snow drift in the turbulent boundary layer

Gian-Duri Lieberherr

The modeling of snow redistribution in turbulent conditions plays an important role for the prediction of snow accumulation and avalanche risk. For this aim two Lagrangian models, one for the suspension and one for the saltation of snow were coupled. The s ...

Characterization of PEI-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for transfection: Size distribution, colloidal properties and DNA interaction

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were coated with polyethylenimine. Here, we briefly describe the synthesis as well as DNA:PEI:SPION complexes and the characterization of the compounds according to their particle size, zeta-potential, mo ...

New strategies for highly efficient medical MRI contrast agents

Sabrina Laus

During the last two decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into one of the most powerful techniques in medical diagnosis. Among the various medical diagnostic modalities, such as X-ray or ultra-sound imaging, MRI is the technique of choice e ...

Bioconjugates for bioseparation by affinity precipitation

Matteo Costioli

Recent advances in the fields of biotechnology and medicine have intensified the necessity for pharmaceutical-grade biomacromolecules purification (e.g. enzymes, antibodies, plasmid DNA). One of the key factors for a successful downstream process is the po ...

Experimental and numerical modelling comparative study of ion-exchange chromatography

Chromatography is increasingly being used for large-scale preparative separation of precious biological components such as recombinant proteins and DNA. Several kinds of mathematical models are used to describe the liquid chromatography process. The aim of ...

On the validity of Darcy’s law for stable high- concentration displacements in granular porous media

David Andrew Barry

Recently, it has been suggested that Darcy's Law might not be applicable for modelling miscible, density-dependent flow in porous media. To investigate this, three sets of careful laboratory column experiments were performed on coarse and medium sands, con ...
