Molecular View of Cholesterol Flip-Flop and Chemical Potential in Different Membrane Environments

The relative stability of cholesterol in cellular membranes and the thermodynamics of fluctuations from equilibrium have important consequences for sterol trafficking and lateral domain formation. We used molecular dynamics computer simulations to investig ...

Prediction of solidification behaviour via microstructure models based on granular structures

Michel Rappaz, André Phillion, Stéphane Vernède

Two important factors affecting hot tearing - semi-solid constitutive behaviour and grain percolation - have been simulated through the use of microstructure models based on granular structures. The semi-solid model geometry is based on a modified Voronoi ...

Calcined clayey soils as a potential replacement for cement in developing countries

Rodrigo Fernandez Lopez

Concrete is the building material with the greatest potential for meeting the increasing housing demand in developing countries. Locally available materials should be considered as cement replacement in order to lower the costs and the environmental impact ...

Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Dynamics with Constant Bowen Ratio

Motivated by the observation that the diurnal evolution of sensible and latent heat fluxes tends to maintain a constant Bowen ratio, we derive approximate solutions of the ordinary differential equations of a simplified atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) mod ...

Trace Metal Speciation and Bioavailability in Surface Waters of the Black Sea Coastal Area Evaluated by HF-PLM and DGT

Trace metal speciation in seawater from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied in situ by hollow fiber permeation liquid membrane (HF-PLM) and by diffusion gradients in thin-film gels (DGT). The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb determined by HF-PLM ...

Characterization of surface functional groups present on laboratory-generated and ambient aerosol particles by means of heterogeneous titration reactions

Michel Rossi, Michel Guillemin

A Knudsen flow reactor has been used to quantify surface functional groups on aerosols collected in the field. This technique is based on a heterogeneous titration reaction between a probe gas and a specific functional group on the particle surface. In the ...

In-situ determination of trace metal species in surface waters of Black Sea coastal area: comparison to bioavailability by green microalgae

Trace metal speciation in seawater from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied in situ by hollow fiber permeation liquid membrane (HF-PLM) and by diffusion gradients in thin- film gels (DGT). The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb determined by HF- ...

Effect of electrode potential on the tribocorrosion of tungsten

Michel Declercq, Didier Bouvet, Stefano Mischler, Jelena Stojadinovic

The tribocorrosion behavior of tungsten sliding against an alumina ball was evaluated in sulfuric acid under applied electrode potential. Surface chemistry of worn and unworn surfaces was evaluated using XPS and AES. Quasi-potentiostatic polarization curve ...

Voltammetry for surface-active ions at polarisable liquid|liquid interfaces

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Bin Su

Adsorption of charged species at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is simulated taking into account both the mutual influence between the potential dependent surface excess charge and the potential distribution between the ...

Interplay between superfluidity and magnetic self-trapping of exciton polaritons

Timothy Chi Hin Liew

In dilute magnetic semiconductor microcavities, exciton polaritons self-localize in real space due to the magnetic polaron effect. The resulting circularly polarized classical condensates can be transformed into superfluids by increasing the temperature an ...
