Mesoscale Simulation Based on the Dynamic Mean-Field Density Functional Method on Block-Copolymeric Ionomers for Polymer Electrolyte Membranes

open access: yesMembranes, 2023
Block copolymers generally have peculiar morphological characteristics, such as strong phase separation. They have been actively applied to polymer electrolyte membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to obtain well-defined hydrophilic ...

HPV Infection Affects Human Sperm Functionality by Inhibition of Aquaporin-8

open access: yesCells, 2020
Human sperm cells express different aquaporins (AQPs), AQP3, 7, 8, 11, which are localized both in the plasma membrane and in intracellular structures. Besides cell volume regulation and end stage of cytoplasm removal during sperm maturation, the role of

Modelling of the Terahertz Communication Channel for In-vivo Nano-networks in the Presence of Noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper focuses on the modelling of communication channel noise inside human tissues at the THz band (0.1-10THz). A novel model is put forward based on the study of the physical mechanism of the channel noise in the medium, which takes into account ...

Using virtual simulation in a geographic information system to optimize abundance survey designs when logistic and biological conditions are constrained

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Estimating wildlife abundance is central to many resource and ecosystem management problems. Early statistical work on wildlife abundance estimation focused on small‐scale problems, but there is a growing need for such information at large spatial scales.

Exploring aquaporin functions during changes in leaf water potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Maintenance of optimal leaf tissue humidity is important for plant productivity and food security. Leaf humidity is influenced by soil and atmospheric water availability, by transpiration and by the coordination of water flux across cell membranes ...

Intermittent permeation of cylindrical nanopores by water

open access: yes, 2002
Molecular Dynamics simulations of water molecules in nanometre sized cylindrical channels connecting two reservoirs show that the permeation of water is very sensitive to the channel radius and to electric polarization of the embedding material.

Assessing the backwater rise of floating barriers with racks for various blockages in open channels

open access: yesJournal of Engineering and Applied Science
One major risk in the stream is thought to be debris. The general effects of debris spreading have a detrimental effect on water infrastructure and water activities.
