Ion channels are specific proteins present in the membranes of living cells. They control the flow of specific ions through a cell, initiated by an ion channel’s electrochemical gradient. In doing so, they control important physiological processes such as muscle contraction and neuronal connectivity, which cannot be properly activated if these channels go haywire, leading to life-threatening di...

The geomeffy, bond valences, and polymerization ofhexavalent uranium polyhedra from 105 well-refined structures are analyzed. The Utu cation is almost always present in crystal stnrctures as part of a nearly linear (UOr)z* uranyl ion that is coordinated by four, five or six equatorial anions in an approximately planar arangement perpendicular to the uranyl ion, giving square, pentagonal and hex...

homogenizer and ultrasonicator that we call as mechanical methods were used in the lab scale production of alcohol free reduced glutathione (alcohol free gsh) from baker’s yeast. the study was done to determine the effects of specific parameters of the methods and the ph of the medium on the production of the gsh. the cell disruptions were run at a wide range of those parameters at the suitable...

The effect of ion binding on the structural, mechanical, dynamic and electrostatic properties of a 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) bilayer in a 0.5 M aqueous NaCl solution is investigated using classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulation with different force-field descriptions for ion-ion and ion-lipid interactions. Most importantly, the repulsive Lennard-Jones par...

Hot potassium carbonate (PC) solution in comparison with amine solution had a decreased energy of regeneration and a high chemical solubility of . To present vapor and liquid equation (VLE) of this system and predict  solubility, the ion specific non-electrolyte Wilson-NRF local composition model (isNWN) was used in this study; the framework of this model was molecular. Therefore, it was suitab...

A recently published model for the excess Gibbs energy of aqueous solutions containing mixed electrolytes (Lu and Maurer, 1993) is extended from 298 K to temperatures up to 573 K. The extension is achieved by introducing a universal relation for the influence of temperature on some model parameters. Although parameters are still ion specific, the influence of temperature on those parameters is ...

An investigation into the use of Bayesian learning of the parameters of a multivariate Gaassian mixture density has been carried out. In a continuous density hidden Markov model (CDHMM) framework, Bayesian learning serves as a unified approach for parameter smoothing, speaker adaptation, speaker clustering, and corrective training. The goal of this study is to enhance model robustness in a CDHM...

in this paper, we study the effects of hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. by means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...
