We report the first 4-component phase diagram for the lipid bilayer mixture, DSPC/DOPC/POPC/chol (distearoylphosphatidylcholine/dioleoylphosphatidylcholine/1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol). This phase diagram, which has macroscopic Ld+Lo phase domains, clearly shows that all phase boundaries determined for the 3-component mixture containing DOPC transition smoothly into the...

Ternary erbium doped BiVO4/TiO2 complexes are synthesized by means of a simple impregnation method with good photoactivities under sun-like excitation for the degradation of phenol. From the structural and morphological characterization it has been stated that the presence of Er induces a slight stabilization of the tetragonal phase probably due to its incorporation in the BiVO4 lattice. Theref...

The odors we perceive are mainly the result of mixtures of odorants that, however, are commonly perceived as single undivided entities; nevertheless, the processes involved remain poorly explored. It has been recently reported that perceptual blending based on configural olfactory processing can cause odorant mixtures to give rise to an emergent odor not present in the components. The present s...

Physicochemical studies of the human serum albuminCu(II)-L-histidine (HSA-Cu(II)-L-His) ternary complex at pH 7.5 indicate several interesting features. 1. The dissociation constants of the HSA-Cu(II)-L-His ternary complex and the HSA-Cu(I1) binary complex are 1.38 X 1O-22 and 6.61 x lOen, respectively. 2. The absorption spectrum of the ternary complex system has characteristics similar to thos...

Este trabalho mostra como modelos estatísticos podem ajudar na obtenção de misturas poliméricas complexas. Neste caso foram estudadas misturas poliméricas ternárias cujos valores de energia e tensão de ruptura foram medidos para treze amostras com proporções diferentes. As respostas foram tratadas estatisticamente usando modelos cúbicos especial e completo. O comportamento dos valores das respo...
