On the osmotic pressure of cells. [PDF]
AbstractThe chemical potential of water ($ {\mu}_{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}} $) provides an essential thermodynamic characterization of the environment of living organisms, and it is of equal significance as the temperature. For cells,$ {\mu}_{{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}} $is conventionally expressed in terms of the osmotic pressure (πosm).

A Note on Vestigial Osmotic Pressure. [PDF]
Recent experiments have indicated that at least a part of the osmotic pressure across the giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membrane was balanced by the rapid formation of the monodisperse daughter vesicles inside the GUVs through an endocytosis-like process.

Pressure exerted by a vesicle on a surface [PDF]
Several recent works have considered the pressure exerted on a wall by a model polymer. We extend this consideration to vesicles attached to a wall, and hence include osmotic pressure.

Flux limitation in ultrafiltration: Osmotic pressure model and gel layer model [PDF]
The characteristic permeate flux behaviour in ultrafiltration, i.e., the existence of a limiting flux which is independent of applied pressure and membrane resistance and a linear plot of the limiting flux versus the logarithm of the feed concentration ...

Generic transport coefficients of a confined electrolyte solution [PDF]
Physical parameters characterising electrokinetic transport in a confined electrolyte solution are reconstructed from the generic transport coefficients obtained within the classical non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamic framework.
