Electronic Elements Governing the Binding of Small Molecules to a [Fe]-hydrogenase Mimic

[Fe]-hydrogenase, one of three types of hydrogenases, activates molecular hydrogen. Here, using DFT computations, we examine the electronic elements governing the binding of small ligands to a recently synthesized [Fe]-hydrogenase biomimic. Computed reacti ...

Nanostructuring and lattice dynamics of materials by femtosecond lasers

Ahmad Odeh

Physically, the colour of an object is a complex result of its intrinsic surface properties, its transmission properties and its emission properties, all of which contribute to the mix of wavelengths in the light leaving the surface of the object. Structur ...

Melanic color-dependent antipredator behavior strategies in barn owl nestlings

Xavier Falourd

The arms race between predators and prey has led to morphological and behavioral adaptations. Different antipredator strategies can coexist within a population if each strategy is the result of a trade-off with competing demands. Antipredator behavior can ...

Evidence Of Adaptation From Ancestral Variation In Young Populations Of Beach Mice

Jeffrey David Jensen

To understand how organisms adapt to novel habitats, which involves both demographic and selective events, we require knowledge of the evolutionary history of populations and also selected alleles. There are still few cases in which the precise mutations ( ...

Laser interactions with embedded Ca metal nanoparticles in single crystal CaF2

Single crystal calcium fluoride (CaF2) is an important material for vacuum-ultraviolet optics. Nevertheless, prolonged exposure to energetic radiation can color the material by producing calcium metal nanoparticles. We compare the effectiveness of laser co ...
