Experimental Investigation and Constitutive Description of Mechanical Anisotropy in Soft, Porous Rock

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
AbstractThe mechanical properties of Maastricht Calcarenite, a carbonatic sandstone with high porosity, are investigated through an extensive laboratory program. The mechanical response under different stress conditions, including compression and extension tests, is studied and the influence of anisotropy is investigated.

Quantum Mechanics Unscrambled [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Is quantum mechanics about 'states'? Or is it basically another kind of probability theory? It is argued that the elementary formalism of quantum mechanics operates as a well-justified alternative to 'classical' instantiations of a probability calculus ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Ethanol evaporation drives ester assembly and particle deposition in droplets of Chinese distilled liquors

open access: yesDroplet
Chinese distilled liquor, known as Baijiu, typically has a relatively high ethanol content (52 or 53% alcohol by volume, ABV) and is characterized by a powerful, heady scent.

A first-order phase transition at the random close packing of hard spheres

open access: yes, 2016
Randomly packing spheres of equal size into a container consistently results in a static configuration with a density of ~64%. The ubiquity of random close packing (RCP) rather than the optimal crystalline array at 74% begs the question of the physical ...
