When a sandpile relaxes under vibration, it is known that its measured angle of repose is bistable in a range of values bounded by a material-dependent maximal angle of stability; thus, at the same angle of repose, a sandpile can be stationary or avalanching, depending on its history. In the nearly jammed slow dynamical regime, sandpile collapse to a zero angle of repose can also occur, as a ra...

Due to the sufficient openness of Russian air transportation market, such factors as demand and investment activity, exchange rate fluctuations, economic sanctions against large companies other unfavorable conditions lead a slowdown (sometimes decrease) in sales growth companies, weakening their position financial stability. In this regard, it is necessary study opportunities for achieving sust...

Molecular switches have been implicated in the storage of information in biological systems. For small structures such as synapses, these switches are composed of only a few molecules and stochastic fluctuations are therefore of importance. Such fluctuations could potentially lead to spontaneous switch reset that would limit the lifetime of information storage. We have analyzed a model of the c...

DNA constructs labeled with cyanine fluorescent dyes are important substrates for single-molecule (sm) studies of the functional activity of protein-DNA complexes. We previously studied the local DNA backbone fluctuations of replication fork and primer-template DNA constructs labeled with Cy3/Cy5 donor-acceptor Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) chromophore pairs and showed that, contrary...

Background: Enzyme engineering by immobilization techniques has proven to be well compatible with the other chemical or biological approaches aiming to improve enzyme’s functions and stability. Zeolites are porous alumino-silicates with a wide range of porosity and particle size along with the other remarkable properties such as high surface area, high stability against a wide range temperature...

The Central Bank of the Republic Turkey (CBRT)’s main target was price stability until 2008 global crisis, it also focused on financial in post-crisis period. CBRT has implemented new monetary policies that would react against shocks apart from traditional practices to limit negative effects crisis since end 2010. aim this study is analyze effectiveness transmission channels by CBRT, comparing ...

The human rhinovirus 14 (HRV14) protomer, with or without the antiviral compound WIN 52084s, was simulated using molecular dynamics and rotational symmetry boundary conditions to model the effect of the entire icosahedral capsid. The protein asymmetrical unit, comprising four capsid proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) and two calcium ions, was solvated both on the exterior and the interior to fil...
