Holographic Meson Melting

open access: yes, 2007
The plasma phase at high temperatures of a strongly coupled gauge theory can be holographically modelled by an AdS black hole. Matter in the fundamental representation and in the quenched approximation is introduced through embedding D7-branes in the AdS-

Why do gallium clusters have a higher melting point than the bulk? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Density functional molecular dynamical simulations have been performed on Ga$_{17}$ and Ga$_{13}$ clusters to understand the recently observed higher-than-bulk melting temperatures in small gallium clusters [Breaux {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91},

The generalized Lindemann melting coefficient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Lindemann developed the melting temperature theory over 100 years ago, known as the Lindemann criterion. Its main assumption is that melting occurs when the root-mean-square vibration amplitude of ions and atoms in crystals exceeds a critical fraction, h

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Influence of the nature of confinement on the melting of Wigner molecules in quantum dots

open access: yes, 2015
We analyze the quantum melting of two-dimensional Wigner molecules (WM) in confined geometries with distinct symmetries and compare it with corresponding thermal melting.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

THE ROLE OF MAGMATIC HEAT SOURCES IN THE FORMATION OF REGIONAL AND CONTACT METAMORPHIC AREAS IN WEST SANGILEN (TUVA, RUSSIA)

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2019
The tectonomagmatic evolution of the Sangilen massif has been described in detail in numerous publications, but little attention was given to heat sources related to the HT/LP metamorphism.

Melting and nonmelting of solid surfaces and nanosystems

open access: yes, 2005
We present an extensive but concise review of our present understanding, largely based on theory and simulation work from our group, on the equilibrium behavior of solid surfaces and nanosystems close to the bulk melting point.

Tailoring the flow of soft glasses by soft additives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We examine the vitrification and melting of asymmetric star polymers mixtures by combining rheological measurements with mode coupling theory. We identify two types of glassy states, a {\it single} glass, in which the small component is fluid in the ...
