Thermal excitations of a bilipid membrane.

چکیده
Propagating modes of vibration of a bilipid membrane have been detected with light beating spectroscopy. The dependence of omega on q is consistent with a model of a fluid film of surface tension sigma = 2.5 +/- 0.5 dyn cm-1 surrounded by a medium with rho = 1 g cm-3 and eta = 1.01 X 10(-2) P.

Calcium-Dependent Exocytosis, Biophysical Models of
Calcium-dependent exocytosis is the biochemically controlled fusion of the bilipid secretory vesicle membrane with the bilipid cell membrane, triggered by the binding of several Ca ions to control proteins such as synaptotagmins anchored at the interface between these two membranes. Exocytosis results in the release of vesicle contents into the extracellular space, namely, the release of neurot...
متن کاملOn Designing of Membrane Thickness and Thermal Conductivity for Large Scale Membrane Distillation Modules
Membrane distillation has the potential to concentrate solutions to their saturation level, thus offering the possibility to recover valuable salts from the solutions. The process performance and stability, however, is strongly dependent upon the features of membranes applied. In addition, several other parameters, membrane thickness and thermal conductivity significantly affect the process per...
متن کاملNon-thermal Production of Natural betalain Colorant Concentrate from Red Beet Extract by Using the Osmotic Distillation
Background and Objectives: Red beet extract concentrate can be used as a natural colorant in food products; however, destructive effects of thermal methods to produce juice concentrate decrease nutritional value in the final product. Materials and Methods: In this study, red beet extract was concentrated using osmotic distillation method, and the best pretreatment was evaluated to increase t...
متن کاملStudies on the SPEEK membrane with low degree of sulfonation as a stable proton exchange membrane for fuel cell applications
Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with a low degree of sulfonation (DS = 40%) was prepared for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was sulfonated in concentrated H2SO4 under N2 atmosphere and characterized by the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) technique. After preparation of the SPEEK polymer, the obtained polymer was dissolved i...
متن کاملEffect of thermal expansion, electronic excitations, and disorder on the Curie temperature of Ni1-xCuxMnSb alloys
We demonstrate the importance of thermal effects such as temperature-induced electronic, magnetic and vibrational excitations, as well as structural defects in the first-principles calculations of the magnetic critical temperature of complex alloys using half-Heusler Ni 1−x Cu x MnSb alloys as a case study. The thermal lattice expansion and one-electron excitations have been accounted for self-...
