Maximum and Minimum Stable Random Packings of Platonic Solids
, 2010 Motivated by the relation between particle shape and packing, we measure the volume fraction $\phi$ occupied by the Platonic solids which are a class of polyhedron with congruent sides, vertices and dihedral angles.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

Experimental analysis of basal wall friction coefficient for a velocity controlled confined granular flow [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThis work presents a novel experimental design to measure the effective wall friction coefficient μw between a confined granular material and a flat wall under a controlled relative velocity and normal load, with concurrent monitoring of the solid volume

Force network ensemble: a new approach to static granular matter [PDF]
, 2004 An ensemble approach for force distributions in static granular packings is developed. This framework is based on the separation of packing and force scales, together with an a-priori flat measure in the force phase space under the constraints that the ...

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Jamming by compressing a system of granular crosses
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 A disordered stress-free granular packing can be jammed, transformed into a mechanically rigid structure, by increasing the density of particles or by applying shear deformation.

Impact Measurement on Apple and Orange Packinghouses Using a Wireless Instrumented Sphere
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015 Physical damage can be considered one of the main causes of postharvest losses for fruits and vegetables. One of the challenges is to measure the impact magnitude on packing lines.

Properties of non-FCC hard-sphere solids predicted by density functional theory
, 2006 The free energies of the FCC, BCC, HCP and Simple Cubic phases for hard spheres are calculated as a function of density using the Fundamental Measure Theory models of Rosenfeld et al (PRE 55, 4245 (1997)), Tarazona (PRL 84, 694 (2001)) and Roth et al (J.

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...
