A designed protein interface that blocks fibril formation [PDF]
Protein fibril formation is implicated in many diseases, and therefore much effort has been focused toward the development of inhibitors of this process.

Kinetics of the monomer-monomer surface reaction model
The two-dimensional monomer-monomer ([ital AB]) surface reaction model without diffusion is considered for infinitesimal, finite, and infinite reaction rates [ital k]. For equal reactant adsorption rates, in all cases, simulations reveal the same form of slow poisoning, associated with clustering of reactants.

Logarithmic corrections in the free energy of monomer-dimer model on plane lattices with free boundaries [PDF]
Using exact computations we study the classical hard-core monomer-dimer models on m x n plane lattice strips with free boundaries. For an arbitrary number v of monomers (or vacancies), we found a logarithmic correction term in the finite-size correction of the free energy.

How large are the monomers of dust aggregates in planet-forming disks?: Insights from quantitative optical and near-infrared polarimetry [PDF]
Context: The size of the constituent particles (monomers) of dust aggregates is one of the most uncertain parameters directly affecting collisional growth of aggregates in planet-forming disks. Despite its importance, the monomer size has not yet been meaningfully constrained by disk observations.

In this work, a chain of reactions has been proposed as a new heterogeneous technique, based on the use of natural treated clays as an environmentally friendly catalysts for the synthesis of poly(1,4-bis(methacryloyl)piperazine). We first synthesized the

Coupled cluster benchmarks of water monomers and dimers extracted from DFT liquid water: the importance of monomer deformations [PDF]
To understand the performance of popular density-functional theory (DFT) exchange-correlation (xc) functionals in simulations of liquid water, water monomers and dimers were extracted from a PBE simulation of liquid water and examined with coupled cluster with single and double excitations plus a perturbative correction for connected triples [CCSD(T)].

Equilibrium Properties of A Monomer-Monomer Catalytic Reaction on A One-Dimensional Chain [PDF]
We study the equilibrium properties of a lattice-gas model of an $A + B \to 0$ catalytic reaction on a one-dimensional chain in contact with a reservoir for the particles.

Monomer distributions and intra-chain collisions of a polymer confined to a channel [PDF]
We study the conformations of a self-avoiding polymer confined to a channel by computing the cross-sectional distributions of the positions of its monomers. By means of Monte-Carlo simulations for a self-avoiding, freely-jointed chain we determine how the cross-sectional distribution for a given monomer depends on its location in the polymer, and how ...

Di(bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-yl)dimethylsilane
Di(bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1(6),2,4-trien-3-yl)dimethylsilane (DiBCB-DMS) was synthesized as a promising monomer for polymer coating production with good dielectric properties for electronics.
