mKate red-to-green photoconversion is a non-canonical type of phototransformation in fluorescent proteins, with poorly understood mechanism. We have hypothesized that the daughter mKate2 protein may also be photoconvertible, and this phenomenon would connected mKate(2) chromophore photoreduction. Indeed, upon intense irradiation sample supplemented by sodium dithionite, accumulation green as we...

This paper reviews results about the existence of spatially localized waves in nonlinear chains of coupled oscillators, and provides new results for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice. Localized solutions include solitary waves of permanent form and traveling breathers which appear time periodic in a system of reference moving at constant velocity. For FPU lattices we analyze the case when the ...

We describe herein the design and synthesis of asymmetric, pentadentate ligands, which are able to coordinate to Ni(II) cations leading to quasi-diastereomeric complexes displaying two new elements of chirality: stereogenic axis and helix along with configurational stabilization of the stereogenic center on the nitrogen. Due to the stereocongested structural characteristics of the corresponding...

This work aims at evaluating the durability of a carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composite under different aging conditions. The absorption and desorption deionised water in (CF) Elium material were measured gravimetrically over two temperatures. Water uptake experimental data fitted to Langmuir type diffusion model order identify compare parameters kinetics evaluate their dependence It w...
