Supercritical fluids derived from magmas may have different cooling paths depending on the confining pressures. Shallowly emplaced magmas generate supercritical fluids, which, during cooling form hypersaline fluid and vapor. Supercritical fluid derived from deeper emplaced magmas does not undergo phase separation and the fluids cool below the solvus curve to form a single aqueous-dominated phas...

Low-temperature aqueous processes have been implicated in the generation of jarosite and hematite on the martian surface, but little is known regarding the role that high-temperature magmatic fluids may have played in producing similar assemblages on Mars. We have identified jarosite and hematite in a clinopyroxene-hosted melt inclusion in martian meteorite MIL 03346 that shows evidence of havi...

Foetal loss and intrauterine growth restriction are major problems in mammals, but there are few effective ways in preventing it. Intriguingly, chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a biomaterial derived from chitosan, can promote foetal survival and growth. Therefore, we have investigated how COS affects foetal survival and growth in a pig model. Fifty-two sows were divided into two treatment groups...

We report a Monte Carlo simulation study of the properties of highly asymmetric binary hard-sphere mixtures. This system is treated within an effective fluid approximation in which the large particles interact through a depletion potential [R. Roth, Phys. Rev. E 62 5360 (2000)] designed to capture the effects of a virtual sea of small particles. We generalize this depletion potential to include...

A new description of the binary fluid problem via the lattice Boltzmann method is presented which highlights the use of the moments in constructing two equilibrium distribution functions. This offers a number of benefits, including better isotropy, and a more natural route to the inclusion of multiple relaxation times for the binary fluid problem. In addition, the implementation of solid colloi...

background: the over-expression of recombinant proteins in large amount is important for production of therapeutic proteins and structural study. there are several systems for expression of recombinant proteins. one of the most relevant expression systems is escherichia coli (e. coli). although this organism has many advantages, most of recombinant proteins expressed in e. coli hosts form inclu...
