Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics model for mesoscopic multiphase flows in the presence of thermal fluctuations

open access: yes, 2015
Thermal fluctuations cause perturbations of fluid-fluid interfaces and highly nonlinear hydrodynamics in multiphase flows. In this work, we develop a novel multiphase smoothed dissipative particle dynamics model.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Density and Temperature Dependencies of Liquid Surface Tension [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2011
In this paper the density and temperature dependencies of surface tension are investigated. Using the Lennard-Jones (12,6), as an effective pair interaction potential, a linear expression is derived for isotherms of g /r2  versus r2 for some normal and ...

Tension at the surface: which phase is more important, liquid or vapor? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Tension at the surface is a most fundamental physicochemical property of a liquid surface. The concept of surface tension has widespread implications in numerous natural, engineering and biomedical processes.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

Computational Modeling of Electro-Elasto-Capillary Phenomena in Dielectric Elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a new finite deformation, dynamic finite element model that incorporates surface tension to capture elastocapillary effects on the electromechanical deformation of dielectric elastomers. We demonstrate the significant effect that surface tension can have on the deformation of dielectric elastomers through three numerical examples: (1 ...

Offset coalescence behaviour of impacting low-surface tension droplet on high-surface-tension droplet [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Impact of droplets of varying surface tension and subsequent spreading over a solid surface are inherent features in printing applications. In this regard, an experimental study of impact of two drops of varied surface tension is carried out where the sessile water droplet on a hydrophilic substrate is impacted upon by another droplet of sequentially ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Well-posedness of the water-wave problem with surface tension [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2008
In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of the water wave problem with surface tension in the case of finite depth by working in the Eulerian setting. For the flat bottom, as surface tension tends to zero, the solution of the water wave problem with surface tension converges to the solution of the water wave problem without surface tension.

Curved and diffuse interface effects on the nuclear surface tension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We redefine the surface tension coefficient for a nuclear Fermi-liquid drop with a finite diffuse layer. Following Gibbs-Tolman concept, we introduce the equimolar radius R_e of sharp surface droplet at which the surface tension is applied and the radius of tension surface R_s which provides the minimum of the surface tension coefficient \sigma.
