New insights into the acid mediated disproportionation of pentavalent uranyl

Marinella Mazzanti

The reaction of benzoic acid with the uranyl(v) complex [(UO 2Py5)(KI2Py2)] in pyridine leads to immediate disproportionation with formation of a hexanuclear U(iv) benzoate cluster, a bis-benzoate complex of uranyl(vi) and water. © 2010 The Royal Society o ...

Water around thermophilic proteins: the role of charged and apolar atoms

The thermal response of three proteins with mesophilic, thermophilic and hyperthermophilic character hints at the essential role played in thermostability by the protein-water interface. The formation of spanning water clusters enveloping the macromolecule ...

Definition and experimental determination of a soil-water retention surface

Simon Salager

This paper deals with the definition and determination methods of the soil-water retention surface (SWRS), which is the tool used to present the hydromechanical behaviour of soils to highlight both the effect of suction on the change in water and total vol ...

Development of MEMS based Electric Propulsion

Herbert Shea

In recent years, there has been a large increase in the number of small satellites being designed, built and launched. Due to resource constraints, these spacecraft have not generally included any propulsion capability, and this has severely limited missio ...

A Systems-Based Generic Decision Support System Application to Urban Water Management

Colin Schenk

In the field of environmental management, inefficient piecemeal sectorial approaches are still widespread, particularly in water resources management, where concerns and decisions are usually split among a set of rather weakly linked stakeholders. Planning ...

A mathematical model of neural axons based on metric induced by Hamilton-Jacobi equation

Alessandro Daducci

Diffusion MRI is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method producing images of biological tissues weighted with the local characteristics of water diffusion. In our case we are concerned with neural axons of white matter in the brain. Diffusion through thi ...

Tuning of photonic crystal cavities by controlled removal of locally infiltrated water

Laurent Balet, Massimo Gurioli

We present a spectral tuning mechanism of photonic crystal microcavities based on microfluidics. The microinfiltration with water of one or few cavity holes and its subsequent controlled evaporation allow us to tune the cavity resonances in a spectral rang ...

Bioorganometallic chemistry-from teaching paradigms to medicinal applications

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger

In undergraduate level organometallic chem. courses students are usually taught that organometallic compds. are toxic and unstable in air and water. While this is true of many complexes, some are also non-toxic and stable in air and water. Indeed, bioorgan ...

Dynamic of cavitation bubble in a flowing liquid with a pressure gradient

Mohamed Farhat, Marc Tinguely

In the present study, a high energy pulsed laser is used to generate a millimetric cavitation bubble within a water °ow over a symmetric hydrofoil. The bubble is initiated at di®erent locations in the vicinity of the hydrofoil leading edge. A high speed ca ...

Switch peptide via Staudinger reaction

Hilal Lashuel

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 ...
