Two dynamin-related protein (DRP) families are essential for fusion of the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, Fzo1 (yeast)/Mfn1/Mfn2 (mammals) and Mgm1 (yeast)/Opa1 (mammals), respectively. Fzo1/Mfns possess two medial transmembrane domains, which pl ...
(La,Sr)FeO3 mixed conducting perovskites are considered as interesting candidates for oxygen separation membranes but they suffer from limited structural stability in a large oxygen partial pressure (pO2) gradient, because of their propensity for chemical ...
The overall objective of the present work was to estimate by membrane autopsy the level of performances degradation of old reverse osmosis (RO) membranes/modules in order to envisage their reuse A mechanistic approach using the Spiegler-Kedem-Karchalsky mo ...
The toxicity of amyloid-forming proteins is correlated with their interactions with cell membranes. Binding events between amyloidogenic proteins and membranes result in mutually disruptive structural perturbations, which are associated with toxicity. Memb ...
A mathematical frame for modeling batch and semi-batch membrane filtration processes is provided. The approach followed in this work uses the feed concentrations as a basis for the calculations, rather than the concentration factor. A practical computation ...
An analytical calculation of the acoustic transmission loss of sound propagating through a thin cylindrically curved piezoelectric membrane, which is rigidly clamped at its straight ends, is presented. The membrane is placed inside an acoustic tube and con ...
Sophisticated quality control mechanisms prolong retention of protein-folding intermediates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) until maturation while sorting out terminally misfolded polypeptides for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The presence of structu ...
One of the key factors to obtain large displacements and high efficiency with dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAPs) actuators is to have compliant electrodes. Attempts to scale DEAPs down to the mm or micrometer range have encountered major difficulties ...
The effect of mechanical loading on the tuning performance of a tunable Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator (TFBAR) based on a Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (BST) thin film has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A membrane-type TFBAR was fabricated by ...
A straightforward theoretical description of the time-dependent response of ion-selective membrane electrodes to multiple sample changes is presented. The derivation makes use of an approximation for the ion fluxes in the membrane, and of the superposition ...
