A new transformation based on the Staudinger reaction is described, and its application in the design of a novel switch element to control peptide folding is demonstrated. We found that the azide switch is activated rapidly in water to promote acyl transfe ...
We have studied self-coordinated transportation systems using SU-8 microstructures in open microchannels and here present a stochastic model for the bacteria-driven microbarge that is designed to mimic the motion of this system with and without chemical gr ...
The obtimisation of water networks in a deinking mill has been carried out using Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming. The objective function included the costs of water and chemical usage, and of piping retrofitting. The constraints were stream compositio ...
Rankine cycles for low to medium power and low temperature heat using water as working fluid, were almost written off. The main arguments speaking against them are reviewed in this paper and the conceptual design of the equipment entirely revisited. An adv ...
Time resolved optical Kerr effect measurements have been used to det. the orientational dynamics of water in the pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. We demonstrate that local heating effects can safely be ignored and present our results which are manifestl ...
The cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CsA) has a remarkable spectrum of diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiparasitic as well as immunosuppressive activities. However, the low water solubility of this drug is a ser ...
We introduce a simplified protein model where the solvent (water) degrees of freedom appear explicitly (although in an extremely simplified fashion). Using this model we are able to recover the thermodynamic phenomenology of proteins over a wide range of t ...
The gas phase methylation of biphenyl with MeOH over HZSM-5 and HZSM-5 modified with Si(OEt)4 was investigated at atm. pressure in the presence of water. The modification of the outer surface of the catalyst pellets by silicate gives increased selectivity ...
A review with 59 refs. concerning characterization of compds. contg. metal-carbon bonds in aq. solns. and pressurization of organometallic systems in water. ...
The intensity of water absorption in the region of the solar spectrum plays a dominant role in atmospheric energy balance and hence strongly influences climate. Significant controversy exists over how to model this absorption accurately. We report dipole m ...
