Multiple Wavelength Free-Space Laser Communications

open access: yes, 2003
Free-space optical communications systems in the atmosphere, based on intensity modulation and direct detection, are heavily affected by fading caused by turbulence cells of varying scale and motion.

Progress in organic solar cells: Materials, challenges, and novel strategies for niche applications

open access: yesAPL Energy
Organic solar cells (OSCs) are emerging as a viable alternative, and complementary niche of applications, to the conventional silicon-based photovoltaics due to their unique attributes, including flexibility, lightweight, semitransparency, and ease of ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Optical and transport properties of polyaniline films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This thesis presents the results of a comprehensive study on the transport and optical properties of polyaniline (PANI) films. The films are derived by protonation (doping) of the emeraldine base form of polyaniline, as synthesized in Durham, with either

Singular systematic phases, transparencies, and invisibilities produced by parity-time-symmetric Thue–Morse optical waveguide networks

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2021
To study the effect of structural symmetry on both the quantity and quality of singular optical properties, a one-dimensional parity-time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) Thue–Morse (TM) optical-waveguide networks family is built and investigated.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

AOPs Are Not Additive: On the Biogeo-Optical Modeling of the Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Commonly we see the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance (Kd) expressed as a sum of the contributions of various constituents. We show here that, both theoretically and numerically, because Kd is an apparent optical property (AOP ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Dielectric and optical properties of organic photorefractive materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The work presented in this thesis is derived from experimentation in the field of polymeric photorefractive materials. Low T(_g) polymeric composites were prepared, based on the well-known photoconductive polymer PVK (maximum 50% w/w), sensitized with ...
