A statistical-mechanical model for calculating equilibrium properties of a nematic liquid crystal
Journal de Physique I, 1992 We have proposed an optimized statistical-mechanical model of a nematic liquid crystal using the method of conditional distributions due to Rott. The calculations have been carried out for hexagonal and cubic close packings with the nearest neighbour Gay-Berne intermolecular potential. The theory takes pair intermolecular correlations into account. The

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

The Emergence and Interpretation of Probability in Bohmian Mechanics [PDF]
, 2007 A persistent question about the deBroglie–Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics concerns the understanding of Born’s rule in the theory. Where do the quantum mechanical probabilities come from? How are they to be interpreted? These are the problems of

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

A statistical mechanics approach to autopoietic immune networks
, 2010 In this work we aim to bridge theoretical immunology and disordered statistical mechanics. We introduce a model for the behavior of B-cells which naturally merges the clonal selection theory and the autopoietic network theory as a whole.
