Graphene oxide (GO) coated hollow fiber filters could selectively capture three target water contaminants. The separation mechanism relies on synergic physical size exclusion and intercalation of solute 6 molecules between GO layers

Combination of standard approaches like pepsin digestion and slab gel electrophoresis with capillary separations allows a relatively easy identification of in vivo occurring collagen fragments. Capillary electrophoresis can be done either in 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) or in a 25 mM phosphate buffer (pH 4.5) made 0.1% with respect to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). While in the first case pep...

VeriFast is a verifier for single-threaded and multithreaded C and Java programs. It takes a C or Java program annotated with preconditions and postconditions in a separation logic notation, and verifies statically that these preconditions and postconditions hold, using symbolic execution. In plain separation logic, a thread either has full ownership of a memory location and knows the value at ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation, driven by collective interactions among multivalent and intrinsically disordered proteins, is thought to mediate the formation of membrane-less organelles in cells. Using parallel cellular and in vitro assays, we show that the Nephrin intracellular domain (NICD), a disordered protein, drives intracellular phase separation via complex coacervation, whereby the neg...

The mechanism of plasmon-induced charge separation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on TiO2 was investigated with the help of anionic ligands. Au NPs are oxidized in the presence of KX (X = SCN, Br or Cl), chiefly via direct oxidation to [AuX4](-). The reactivity of Au NPs depends on the solution pH, the type of anion ligands and the excitation wavelength, suggesting that the photopotential of Au...

Active colloids exhibit persistent motion, which can lead to motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). However, there currently exists no microscopic theory to account for this phenomenon. We report a first-principles theory, free of fit parameters, for active spherical colloids, which shows explicitly how an effective many-body interaction potential is generated by activity and how this can ra...

Lorentz-covariant harmonic oscillator wave functions are constructed from the Lorentz-invariant oscillator differential equation of Feynman, Kislinger, and Ravndal for a two-body bound state. The wave functions are not invariant but covariant. As the differential equation contains the time-separation variable, the wave functions contain the same time-separation variable which does not exist in ...

Molecules that only differ by their chirality, so-called enantiomers, often possess different properties with respect to their biological function. Therefore, the separation of enantiomers presents a prominent challenge in molecular biology and has long been a main pursuit of organic chemistry. We suggest a new separation technique for chiral molecules that is based on the transport properties ...

We study mechanism which operate on ordinal preference information (i.e., rank ordered lists of alternatives) on the full domain of weak preferences that admits indifferences. We present a novel decomposition of strategyproofness into three axioms: separation monotonic, separation upper invariant, and separation lower invariant. Each axiom is a natural restriction on how mechanisms can react wh...
