Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub-mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer membrane also contains an endogenous protein translocation activity which can function independently of the inner membrane. To selectively stud...

A new Schwarz method for nonlinear systems is presented, constituting the multiplicative variant of a straightforward additive scheme. Local convergence can be guaranteed under suitable assumptions. The scheme is applied to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction problems. Numerical examples validate the theoretical results. Further improvements are discussed by means of introducing overlappin...

Mitochondria are enveloped by two closely apposed boundary membranes with different properties and functions. It is known that they undergo fusion and fission, but it has remained unclear whether outer and inner membranes fuse simultaneously, coordinately or separately. We set up assays for the study of inner and outer membrane fusion in living human cells. Inner membrane fusion was more sensit...

We consider a general nonsymmetric second-order linear elliptic PDE in the framework of Lax-Milgram lemma. formulate and analyze an adaptive finite element algorithm with arbitrary polynomial degree that steers mesh-refinement inexact iterative solution arising systems. More precisely, solver employs, as outer loop, so-called Zarantonello iteration to symmetrize system and, inner uniformly cont...

A theoretical solution is presented for the forced convection heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid obeying the Giesekus constitutive equation in a concentric annulus under steady state, laminar, and purely tangential flow. A relative rotational motion exists between the inner and the outer cylinders, which induces the flow. A constant temperature was set in both cylinders, in this study. The f...

In this study, we introduce a new two-way relay channel and obtain an inner bound and an outer bound for the discrete and memoryless multiple access relay channels with receiver-source feedback via two-way relay channel in which end nodes exchange signals by a relay node. And we extend these results to the Gaussian case. By numerical computing, we show that our inner bound is the same with o...

In this work, the effects of As-doped on the adsorption of oxygen gas on the outer and inner surface ofboron nitride nanotube (BNNTs) is investigated. The structural parameters, quantum properties involving:bond length, bond angle, HOMO-LUMO orbital, gapenergy, electron affinity, electronegativity, chemicalpotential, global hardness, global softness and NMR parameters of BNNTs are calculated at...
