We introduce a method for the acquisition of single molecule force measurements of ligand-receptor interactions using the photonic force microscope (PFM). Biotin-functionalized beads, manipulated with an optical trap, and a streptavidin-functionalized cove ...
The simulation of the fast ions dynamics experiment in the TORPEX device is presented. The experiment consists of a fast particles source that injects lithium ions in the TORPEX plasma, characterized by interchange-driven turbulence. The simulations are pe ...
I consider the two-body decay of a particle at a hadron collider into a visible and an invisible particle, generalizing W -> ev, where the masses of the decaying particle and the invisible decay particle are, a priori, unknown. I prove that the transverse ...
In this work we use the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics methodology (SPH) to simulate incompressible viscous flows of Newtonian fluids. The SPH is a meshfree Lagrangian method which simulates the flow like a set of moving fluid particles that interact one ...
We present the study of the radiative penguin Bs0 → ϕγ and Bs0 → γγ decays and the resonant B+ → K+h → K+γγ decays. We use data samples recorded at the Υ(4S) and Υ(5S) resonances with the Belle detector at KEKB, an electron-positron collider located ...
We consider the application of endpoint techniques to the problem of mass determination for new particles produced at a hadron collider, where these particles decay to an invisible particle of unknown mass and one or more visible particles of known mass. W ...
We present a microfluidic device where micro- and nanoparticles can be continuously functionalized in flow. This device relies on an element called particle exchanger, which allows for particles to be taken from one medium and exposed to some reagent while ...
We have investigated the motion of a single optically trapped colloidal particle close to a limiting wall at time scales where the inertia of the surrounding fluid plays a significant role. The velocity autocorrelation function exhibits a complex interplay ...
This thesis presents, develops and applies new methodologies that can quantitatively probe the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of biomaterials at the nanoscale. Elastic and viscous properties are important characteristics of materials, such as many ...
Diffusion-limited reactions are commonly found in biochemical processes such as enzyme catalysis, colloid and protein aggregation and binding between different macromolecules in cells. Usually, such reactions are modeled within the Smoluchowski framework b ...
