Capture of particles of dust by convective flow
Interaction of particles of dust with vortex convective flows is under theoretical consideration. It is assumed that the volume fraction of solid phase is small, variations of density due to nonuniform distribution of particles and those caused by ...

Autocyclic Secondary Channels Stabilize Deltaic Islands Undergoing Relative Sea Level Rise
Understanding what sets the size and stability of deltaic islands is critical for predicting how deltas will respond to sea level rise. Models of overbank sedimentation produce an exponentially decaying sedimentation profile, seemingly incompatible with ...

The Fusion Activity of HIV-1 gp41 Depends on Interhelical Interactions [PDF]
Infection by human immunodeficiency virus type I requires the fusogenic activity of gp41, the transmembrane subunit of the viral envelope protein. Crystallographic studies have revealed that fusion-active gp41 is a "trimer-of-hairpins" in which three ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Effect of concentrated brine on coal slurry stability and sedimentation
In order to solve the problem of comprehensive utilization of concentrated brine in coal chemical industry, the flocculating settlement test was carried out by using concentrated brine instead of coagulant in coal chemical industry, and the effect of pH ...
