Over the past decade, research workers have started to investigate problems of subsurface contaminant transport through physical modelling on a geotechnical centrifuge. A major advantage of this apparatus is its ability to model complex natural systems in ...
Aeromonas glycerophospholipid:cholesterol acyl transferase undergoes a conformational transition upon activation by treatment with trypsin. Chemical cross-linking and sedimentation velocity analysis showed that the lipase dimerizes due to removal of a regi ...
The scaled modelling of non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) transport in porous media is examined with particular reference to the use of a geotechnical centrifuge as a tool for modelling this phenomenon. Scaling relationships for NAPL mobility are derived. Th ...
The water permeability of ADH target epithelial cells is believed to be regulated by a cycle of exo-endocytosis of vesicles containing functional water channels. These vesicles were selectively labeled in intact frog urinary bladders with an impermeant flu ...
Rat liver mitochondria were isolated by a combination of differential and Percoll gradient centrifugation, resulting in a highly pure and intact preparation, as assessed by marker enzyme analysis, latency of cytochrome-c oxidase, respiratory control index ...
This technical note examines the feasibility of physically modelling unstable water flow in the form of fingers in the vadose zone. A scaling analysis is performed based on published expressions for the width and velocity of fingers, as well as the distanc ...
Transthyretin (TTR) amyloid fibril formation is observed systemically in familial amyloid polyneuropathy and senile systemic amyloidosis and appears to be the causative agent in these diseases. Herein, we demonstrate conclusively that thyroxine (10.8 micro ...
We describe a simple subcellular fractionation scheme aimed at separating early endosomes from the plasma membrane in view of studying the possible arrival of plasma membrane-bound toxins, proteins or other extracellular ligands in endosomes. Plasma membra ...
Centrifuge modelling is a technique that has proved useful in the study of miscible transport processes through porous media. This report presents a discussion on the feasibility of modelling immiscible flow processes using a geotechnical centrifuge, with ...
Antibodies to an Mr 64,000 protein from human or rat islets have been detected at high frequency in newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic patients. In this study, we show that the antigenic and amphiphilic properties of the rat islet Mr 64,000 protein ...
