Alignment of Nematic Liquid Crystal 5CB Using Graphene Oxide

Crystals, 2023
In this article, we employed the saturation voltage method (SVM) to investigate the interaction between a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and a graphene oxide (GO) substrate.

Surface-anchored carbon nanomaterials for antimicrobial surfaces

Nanoscale
We demonstrate that after anchoring at the surface of silicone, carbon nanomaterials exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram+ or Gram− bacteria depending on their surface chemistry.

Clostridium difficile has a single sortase, SrtB, that can be inhibited by small-molecule inhibitors. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Bacterial sortases are transpeptidases that covalently anchor surface proteins to the peptidoglycan of the Gram-positive cell wall. Sortase protein anchoring is mediated by a conserved cell wall sorting signal on the anchored protein ...

Optimization of anchorage location of three dimensional slopes based on improved differential evolution algorithm

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
Based on the improved differential evolution algorithm, considering the 3D spatial distribution of anchoring force through calculation of the 3D anchoring force, the anchorage position of 3D slope is optimized reasonably to save the number of bolts.

Rotational and translational diffusion of anisotropic gold nanoparticles in liquid crystals controlled by varying surface anchoring. [PDF]

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2013
We study translational and rotational diffusion of anisotropic gold nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed in the bulk of a nematic liquid crystal fluid host. Experimental data reveal strong anisotropy of translational diffusion with respect to the uniform far ...

Model Test Study on Landslide Treatment With Unequally Spaced Single Row Steel Pipe Anti-sliding Pile

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
By using the large physical test to analyze the mechanical effects of the anti-sliding pile towards the slope, this research can analyze the displacement of the top, cut export and the moment. Besides, the changeable rule about the change of the load and

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Proposal for a simple polarization converter based on integrated optical ion exchanged waveguide [PDF]

, 2010
A simple, compact, low-cost electro-optic polarization converter based on a nematic liquid crystal (LC) sandwiched between two ion-exchanged glass channel waveguides is proposed.

Effects of Photopatterning Conditions on Azimuthal Surface Anchoring Strength

Crystals
Spatially varying alignment of liquid crystals is essential for research and applications. One widely used method is based on the photopatterning of thin layers of azo-dye molecules, such as Brilliant Yellow (BY), that serve as an aligning substrate for ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.
