We demonstrate successful incorporation of the G protein coupled receptor 5-HT1A into giant unilamellar vesicles using an agarose rehydration method. With direct observation using fluorescence techniques, we report preferential segregation of 5-HT1A into the cholesterol-poor liquid disordered phase of the membrane, contradicting previous reports of lipid raft segregation. Furthermore, altering ...

T he controllability properties of thermally coupled distillation sequences for the separation of ternary mixtures are compared with those of the conventional direct and indirect sequences. Closed loop responses to set point changes were performed, and controllers were tuned to minimize their ISE values. The results indicate that the integrated systems exhibit better control properties than seq...

We present results of the study of the non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line as a function of temperature in ternary homopolymer/diblock-copolymer mixtures. The non-monotonous behavior of the Lifshitz line is due to the wave vector dependence of fluctuational corrections, which we treat in the framework of the renormalization group method. Our results are in agreement with the experiment...

Mixtures of randomly methylated cyclodextrins of various sizes have been evaluated in the rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of higher olefins in an aqueous biphasic medium. A marked positive non-linear effect on 1-tetradecene conversion is observed when the CD molar ratio in the mixture is modified. The formation of 2:1 ternary inclusion complexes between RAME-CDs and the olefin is supposed to...

Mixed solutions of konjac glucomannan supplemented with xanthan and alginate were studied using the technique of sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge. Interactions – as manifested by changes in the sedimentation coefficient distributions compared to unmixed controls – were observed for ternary mixtures in the presence of alginate. The complexes observed also appeared sensiti...

In this work an analytical equation of state has been employed to calculate the PVT properties ofternary refrigerant mixtures. The theoretical EoS is that of Ihm, Song and Mason, which is based onstatistical-mechanical perturbation theory, and the two constants are enthalpy of vaporization ΔHvapand molar density ρnb, both at the normal boiling temperature. The following three temperaturedepende...
