Active nematic multipoles: Flow responses and the dynamics of defects and colloids
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 We introduce a general description of localised distortions in active nematics using the framework of active nematic multipoles. We give the Stokesian flows for arbitrary multipoles in terms of differentiation of a fundamental flow response and describe ...

Phase behaviour of colloidal superballs mixed with non-adsorbing polymers [PDF]
, 2018 .: Inspired by experimental work on colloidal cuboid-polymer dispersions (Rossi et al., Soft Matter, 7, 4139 (2011)) we have theoretically studied the phase behaviour of such mixtures.

COLLOID RELEASE AND TRANSPORT IN AGRICULTURAL SOIL AS IMPACTED BY SOLUTION CHEMISTRY
Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, 2011 Colloid release from the agricultural soil under unsaturated conditions was controlled by the hydrodynamic force, capillary force and electrostatic force that were determined by the solution chemistry in terms of solution ionic strength and pH.

Investigation of co-migration of heavy metal with colloid under preferential flow
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020 Most of the heavy metal pollutants in soil come from external industrial and agricultural activities. Surface soil layer is the only access through which the heavy metal can migrate downward.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

Temperature and Concentration Dependence of Human Whole Blood and Protein Drying Droplets
Biomolecules, 2021 The drying of bio-colloidal droplets can be used in many medical and forensic applications. The whole human blood is the most complex bio-colloid system, whereas bovine serum albumin (BSA) is the simplest. This paper focuses on the drying characteristics

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Pore-scale study of flow rate on colloid attachment and remobilization in a saturated micromodel [PDF]
, 2015 Colloid attachment is an important retention mechanism. It is influenced by colloid size, pore size, and flow rate, among other factors. In this work, we studied colloid attachment experimentally under various flow rates, as well as colloid release in ...
