Revisiting the Excitation Energy Transfer in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson Complex

It is believed that the quantum coherence itself cannot explain the very high excitation energy transfer (EET) efficiency in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex. In this paper, we show that this is not the case if the inter-site couplings take complex values. By phenomenologically introducing phases into the inter-site couplings, we obtain the EET efficiency as high as 0.8972 in contrast to ...

Revisiting methanotrophic communities in sewage treatment plants.

The methanotrophic potential in sewage treatment sludge was investigated. We detected a diverse aerobic methanotrophic community that potentially plays a significant role in mitigating methane emission in this environment. The results suggest that community structure was determined by conditions specific to the processes in a sewage treatment plant.

This paper provides a quantitative study of the economic effects of a stylised simulation of trade liberalisation for Ireland using the GTAP model. The experiment incorporates the liberalisation of agricultural, manufacturing and services trade as well as measures to improve trade facilitation. The simulation is implemented against a baseline projection of the Irish and world economy over the n...

Lemuel Matthews Griffiths

The Bristol Medico-Chirurgical Society mourns the loss of Lemuel Matthews Griffiths, who died on September 22nd, lri eightieth year, an Ex-President and one of its earliest an(i most active members. With this issue already in the Press it is quite impossible to do justice to his memory or give a(lequate expression to the well-earned gratitude of his medical c?nfreres in Bristol for the many yea...
