Hydrophobic hydration driven self-assembly of Curcumin in water: Similarities to nucleation and growth under large metastability, and an analysis of water dynamics at heterogeneous surfaces

, 2014
As the beneficial effects of curcumin have often been reported to be limited to its small concentrations, we have undertaken a study to find the aggregation properties of curcumin in water by varying the number of monomers.

Taxonomic reanalysis of the genus Richtersius (Tardigrada; Eutardigrada), with description of two new species from Italy and Sweden

European Journal of Taxonomy
The tardigrade genus Richtersius Pilato & Binda, 1989 has been considered monotypic for more than 30 years since its establishment and is frequently used in experimental studies on physiological adaptations to stress. Only recently, integrative taxonomy

Habitat use and selection patterns inform habitat conservation priorities of an endangered large carnivore in southern Europe

Endangered Species Research, 2021
Understanding the habitat use and selection patterns of endangered species is essential in developing management measures that will protect critical habitat and mitigate human-wildlife conflicts. This understanding is particularly important in areas with

Hedge fund seeding via fees-for-seed swaps under idiosyncratic risk [PDF]

, 2016
We develop a dynamic valuation model of the hedge fund seeding business by solving the consumption and portfolio-choice problem for a risk-averse manager who launches a hedge fund through a seeding vehicle. This vehicle, i.e.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
