A numerical-statistical approach to determining the representative elementary volume (REV) of cement paste for measuring diffusivity

open access: yesMateriales de Construccion, 2010
Concrete diffusivity is a function of its microstructure on many scales, ranging from nanometres to millimetres. Multi-scale techniques are therefore needed to model this parameter.

Robustness of an effective diffusivity diagnostic in oceanic flows

open access: yes, 2009
The robustness of Nakamura's effective diffusivity diagnostic for quantifying eddy diffusivities of tracers within a streamwise-average framework is carefully examined in an oceanographic context, and the limits of its applicability are detailed.

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

The lumped approach in drying modeling of roofing tiles – variable effective diffusivity determination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In this paper, the drying modeling of roofing tiles was done using a "lumped" approach. In other words, several forces that are influencing internal moisture transport are combined to create effective moisture diffusivity.

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Evaluation of drying parameters and sorption isotherms of mint leaves (M. pulegium)

open access: yesRevue des Énergies Renouvelables, 2009
This paper deals with sorption isotherms and drying kinetics of mint leaves (M. pulegium). The sorption isotherms have been determined using a static gravimetric method and then fitted by GAB, equation at 30, 40 and 50 °C over a range of relative ...

Prediction of the Effective Thermal Diffusivity of Discretely Inhomogeneous Media

open access: yes, 2009
An extended definition of the effective thermal diffusivity is posed via an analogy to acoustic and EM wave propagation in discretely inhomogeneous media.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Effective Thermal Diffusivity Study of Powder Biocomposites via Photoacoustic Method

open access: yes, 2017
The effective thermal diffusivity for biocomposites of hydroxyapatite (HAp), and niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) on powder form was studied via photoacoustic method adapted for porous materials.
