Hybrid lipids as a biological surface-active component.
Cell membranes contain small domains (on the order of nanometers in size, sometimes called rafts) of lipids whose hydrocarbon chains are more ordered than those of the surrounding bulk-phase lipids. Whether these domains are fluctuations, metastable, or thermodynamically stable, is still unclear. Here, we show theoretically how a lipid with one saturated hydrocarbon chain that prefers the order...
متن کاملHybrid Series & Shunt Active DC Line Conditioner
In this paper a hybrid active DC line conditioner for fluctuations and ripples reduction in voltage and current of DC power systems is proposed. Malfunctions in operation of equipments and systems which are supplied by low quality distribution power systems are one of the main effects of DC voltage ripple. In the proposed configuration a hybrid system including series and shunt active line ...
متن کاملLine active hybrid lipids determine domain size in phase separation of saturated and unsaturated lipids.
A simple model of the line activity of a hybrid lipid (e.g., POPC) with one fully saturated chain and one partially unsaturated chain demonstrates that these lipids preferentially pack at curved interfaces between phase-separated saturated and unsaturated domains. We predict that the domain sizes typically range from tens to hundreds of nm, depending on molecular interactions and parameters suc...
متن کاملReconfiguring a Lisp System as a Hybrid Lisp/(Java) Component
We describe our experience in converting OMAR, a large human-performance modeling simulation environment, originally written completely in Lisp, into Distributed OMAR [D-OMAR] a distributed, hybrid Lisp/Java system. In the resulting system: • The kernel simulation system (Core-OMAR) remains written purely in Common Lisp, and as such is able to take full advantage of the relevant features of Lis...
متن کاملThe Behavior of Biological Lipids
Lipids active in biological systems demonstrate a broad range of behavior in water, from hydrocarbons which are insoluble, to molecules such as bile salts that possess potent detergent properties and interact with water rather dynamically. The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the physical properties of lipids with respect to their inter— action with aqueous systems, and to classify ...
