US Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
In 1996, the US Congress mandated that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) create and regulate the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program. The program tests industrial and agricultural chemicals for hormonal impacts in humans [3] and in wildlife that may disrupt organisms' endocrine systems. The endocrine system regulates the release of small amounts of chemical substances called hormon...

متن کاملRotational diffusion of bacteriorhodopsin in lipid membranes.
New techniques for measuring the diffusion of proteins in cell membranes have recently been reported [l-7] . Such measurements should in principle test to what extent proteins are freely floating in the fluid lipid bilayer, as envisaged in currently popular concepts of membrane structure [8]. They may also provide a method of investigating structural features of membranes which restrict or prev...
متن کاملDynamics of Phase Separation in Confined Two-component Fluid Membranes
We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, being consist...
