Diamond stabilization of ice multilayers at human body temperature.
Diamond is a promising material for wear-resistant medical coatings. Here we report a remarkable increase in the melting point of ice resting on a diamond (111) surface modified with a submonolayer of Na+. Our molecular dynamics simulations show that the interfacial ice bilayer melts at a temperature 130 K higher than in free ice, and relatively thick ice films (2.6 nm at 298 K and 2.2 nm at 31...
متن کاملOsmolality of normal human saliva at body temperature.
IN AN ATTEMPT to establish normal osniotic pressure values for mixed humamm saliva, it was decided to measure the osnmolality of this biologic fluid by the vapor pressure lowering niethod reported earlier (1). It was found timat centrifugatioiu of the organic debris usually fommd in mixed saliva yielded a supernataimt fluid capable of benig analyzed by this technic. Samples of saliva were colle...
متن کاملPairing transition of nuclei at finite temperature
Pairing transition at finite temperature was investigated by the shell model and BCS calculations. The definitive signature of pairing transition is identified by a “transition temperature” Tt estimated from a “thermal” odd-even mass difference, while there is no sharp phase transition because of the finiteness of nucleus. It is found that Tt is in good agreement with predictions of critical te...
متن کاملHemoglobin dynamics in red blood cells: correlation to body temperature.
A transition in hemoglobin behavior at close to body temperature has been discovered recently by micropipette aspiration experiments on single red blood cells (RBCs) and circular dichroism spectroscopy on hemoglobin solutions. The transition temperature was directly correlated to the body temperatures of a variety of species. In an exploration of the molecular basis for the transition, we prese...
متن کاملFrom powder to solution: hydration dependence of human hemoglobin dynamics correlated to body temperature.
A transition in hemoglobin (Hb), involving partial unfolding and aggregation, has been shown previously by various biophysical methods. The correlation between the transition temperature and body temperature for Hb from different species, suggested that it might be significant for biological function. To focus on such biologically relevant human Hb dynamics, we studied the protein internal pico...
