Quantifying the Role of the Surfactant and the Thermophoretic Force in Plasmonic Nano-Optical Trapping [PDF]
Plasmonic nano-tweezers use intense electric field gradients to generate optical forces able to trap nano-objects in liquids. However, part of the incident light is absorbed into the metal, and a supplementary thermophoretic force acting on the nano-object arises from the resulting temperature gradient.

Fast and Versatile Thermo-osmotic Flows with a Pinch of Salt [PDF]
Thermo-osmotic flows - flows generated in micro and nanofluidic systems by thermal gradients - could provide an alternative approach to harvest waste heat. However, such use would require massive thermo-osmotic flows, which are up to now only predicted for special and expensive materials.

Emulsifying activity in thermophilic and extremely thermophilic microorganisms
Thermophilic and extremely thermophilic enrichments from several different environments produced cell-associated emulsifiers as did several pure cultures ofArchaea. The bioemulsifiers were effective over a wide range of pH, at NaCl concentrations up to 200 g L−1, and at temperatures up to 80°C.

Unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbons (UAHs) are recalcitrant molecules abundant in crude oil, which is accumulated in subsurface reservoirs and occasionally enters the marine environment through natural seepage or human-caused spillage.

Characterisation of dairy strains of Geobacillus stearothermophilus and a genomics insight into its growth and survival during dairy manufacture : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The thermophilic bacilli, such as G. stearothermophilus, are an important group of contaminants in the dairy industry. Although these bacilli are generally not pathogenic, their presence in dairy products is an indicator of poor hygiene and high numbers ...

Die stark negativ geladenen Phosphodiestergruppen von Nukleinsäuren und zyklischen (Di‐)Nukleotiden interagieren häufig mit Aminosäuren, die polare oder positiv geladene Seitenketten enthalten. Aufgrund der Ladungsabstoßung mit ihren negativ geladenen Carboxylatgruppen enthaltenden Seitenketten gelten Glutamat und Aspartat generell als ungeeignet für ...

Sporulation of the “Thermophilic Anaerobes.” [PDF]
A reasonable degree of synchrony in the sporulation of Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum 3814 was obtained by using three 10% transfers of 8-hr cultures in a medium containing 0.5% L-arabinose, 0.5% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract, and Gc minerals.

Protein and DNA sequence determinants of thermophilic adaptation [PDF]
Prokaryotes living at extreme environmental temperatures exhibit pronounced signatures in the amino acid composition of their proteins and nucleotide compositions of their genomes reflective of adaptation to their thermal environments. However, despite significant efforts, the definitive answer of what are the genomic and proteomic compositional ...
