This paper argues that significant research and teaching in experimental phonetics at UCL preceded the establishment of the laboratory in 1912 by almost a decade. The forgotten work of E. R. Edwards [1] combined descriptive and experimental approaches in a pioneering study of Japanese. Recently recovered artefacts, and a close reading of the early publications of Daniel Jones (DJ), reveal a sur...

MOTIVATION Computational studies of the energetics of protein association are important for revealing the underlying fundamental principles and for designing better tools to model protein complexes. The interaction cutoff contribution to the ruggedness of protein-protein energy landscape is studied in terms of relative energy fluctuations for 1/r(n) potentials based on a simplistic model of a p...

The nature of Bence Jones proteins is developed by a review of the pertinent literature. This is followed by a discussion of their metabolism and catabolism under normal and abnormal clinical conditions. Various methods for the detection of Bence Jones proteins are critically reviewed and the significance of these pro­ teins in various disorders is assessed.

We use classical molecular dynamics simulations to investigate temperature control of unsupported clusters using a noble gas atmosphere. The simulations are performed using a many-body interaction scheme for the intra-cluster potential, while a pairwise Lennard-Jones potential is used to model the interaction between the noble gas and the clusters. In order to isolate different parameters deter...

A free energy functional for a crystal which contains both the symmetry-conserved and symmetry-broken parts of the direct pair correlation function has been used to investigate the fluid-solid transition in systems interacting via purely repulsive Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Lennard-Jones potential and the full Lennard-Jones potential. The results found for freezing parameters for the fluid-face ce...

Adsorption of biomolecules on surfaces is a perennial and general challenge relevant to many fields in biotechnology. A change of the Helmholtz free energy DeltaA takes place when a molecule becomes adsorbed out of a bulk solution. The purpose of our investigations is to explore routes for the calculation of DeltaA by molecular simulations. DeltaA can be obtained both by integration over the me...

Rosenfeld's perturbative method [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 8126 (1993)]] for constructing the Helmholtz energy functional of classical systems is applied to studying inhomogeneous Lennard-Jones fluids, in which the key input-the bulk direct correlation function-is obtained from the first-order mean-spherical approximation (FMSA) [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 4140 (2003)]]. Preserving its high fidelity at the b...
