Exact Solution of the Discrete (1+1)-dimensional RSOS Model in a Slit with Field and Wall Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present the solution of a linear Restricted Solid--on--Solid (RSOS) model confined to a slit. We include a field-like energy, which equivalently weights the area under the interface, and also include independent interaction terms with both walls. This

Cell-compatible isotonic freezing media enabled by thermo-responsive osmolyte-adsorption/exclusion polymer matrices

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry, 2023
During the long-term storage of cells, it is necessary to inhibit ice crystal formation by adding cryoprotectants. Non-cell-permeable cryoprotectants have high osmotic pressure which dehydrates cells, indirectly suppressing intracellular ice crystal ...

Root Osmotic Adjustment under Osmotic Stress in Maize Seedlings 1. Transient Change of Growth and Water Relations in Roots in Response to Osmotic Stress

open access: yesPlant Production Science, 2006
The transient changes in seminal root elongation rate, osmotic potential, water potential, and turgor pressure in maize after the onset of stress treatments were examined using polyethylene glycol 6000 to evaluate the process of osmotic adjustment in ...

Virial coefficients and osmotic pressure in polymer solutions in good-solvent conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We determine the second, third, and fourth virial coefficients appearing in the density expansion of the osmotic pressure of a monodisperse polymer solution in good-solvent conditions.

Effects of osmotic pressure on motility, plasma membrane integrity and viability in fresh and frozen-thawed buffalo spermatozoa

open access: yesAnimal, 2008
In the first experiment, osmotic pressure of semen and seminal plasma in a semen sample from each of the 20 mature Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls was determined. In the second experiment, effects of osmotic pressure on motility (%), plasma membrane integrity (%)

Measuring the force ejecting DNA from phage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We discuss how a balance can be established between the force acting to eject DNA from viral capsids and the force resisting its entry into a colloidal suspension which mimics the host cell cytoplasm.

Increased xerotolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during an osmotic pressure ramp over several generations

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary Although mechanisms involved in response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to osmotic challenge are well described for low and sudden stresses, little is known about how cells respond to a gradual increase of the osmotic pressure (reduced water ...

Pressure exerted by a vesicle on a surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Membrane Permeability Threshold for Osmotic Power Plant Efficiency

open access: yesJournal of Contemporary Urban Affairs, 2017
In a context of ever-growing electricity consumption and need for less polluting sources of energy, salinity gradient power (SGP) based on osmosis is a promising technology. Salinity difference between two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane

Giant osmotic pressure in the forced wetting of hydrophobic nanopores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The forced intrusion of water in hydrophobic nanoporous pulverulent material is of interest for quick storage of energy. With nanometric pores the energy storage capacity is controlled by interfacial phenomena.
