On the thinning of films (I)

We investigate, from a mathematical perspective, the problem of a layer of fluid attracted to a horizontal plate when the layer is in equilibrium with a bulk reservoir. It is assumed that as the temperature varies, the bulk undergoes a continuous phase transition. On the basis of free energetics, this initially causes thinning of the layer but, at lower temperatures, the layer recovers and rebu...

PEACHES and Peers

How to distribute resource locators is a fundamental problem in PKI. Our PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP), recently presented at IETF, provides a standard method to query for PKI resources locators. However the distribution of locators across PKIs is still an unsolved problem. In this paper, we propose an extension to PRQP in order to distribute PRQP messages over a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network...

The Effect of Chemical Thinning on Seasonal Changes of Mineral Nutrient Concentrations in Leaves and Fruits of ‘Soltani’ Apple Trees

ABSTRACT- The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of chemical thinning on seasonal variations of leaf and fruit mineral compositions of ‘Soltani’ apple trees. Treatments, including unthinned control, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 5 and 10 mg L-1, naphthaeneacetamide (NAD) at 25 and 50 mg L-1, benzyladenine (BA) at 50 and 100 mg L-1 and carbaryl at 500 and 1000 mg L-1 were appl...

I-11: Dedifferentiation of Mouse Fibroblast Cells by Chemical Induction

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated by ectopic expression of four transcription factors have great promises for regenerative medicine in humans. Since the initial report of iPSCs by viral transfection, ample efforts have been made in the generation of iPSCs through nonviral approaches. Small molecules offer the advantages of low cost without genomic modification and have been used ...
