Critical particle sizes for the engulfment of nanoparticles by membranes and vesicles with bilayer asymmetry.
The adhesion and engulfment of nanoparticles by biomembranes is essential for many processes such as biomedical imaging, drug delivery, nanotoxicity, and viral infection. Many studies have shown that both surface chemistry, which determines the adhesive strength of the membrane-particle interactions, and particle size represent key parameters for these processes. Here, we show that the asymmetr...
متن کاملFluid membranes exchanging material with external reservoirs.
We investigate the dynamics of a single component fluid bilayer, which exchanges material with the surrounding fluid. We derive covariant equations of motion taking into account solvent permeation, exchange of lipids between solvent and the membrane and discuss the sources of noise in these equations. Different lipid concentrations on both sides of the membrane lead to a non-equilibrium state. ...
متن کاملStrongly asymmetric soliton explosions.
We have observed, in numerical simulations, strongly asymmetric soliton explosions in dissipative systems modeled by the one-dimensional complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau equation. The explosions occur at one side of the soliton, in spite of the fact that the initial conditions and the equation itself are symmetric. From one explosion to the next, the side of the soliton where it occurs alt...
متن کاملAsymmetric polygons with maximum area
We say that a polygon inscribed in the circle is asymmetric if it contains no two antipodal points being the endpoints of a diameter. Given n diameters of a circle and a positive integer k < n, this paper addresses the problem of computing a maximum area asymmetric k-gon having as vertices k < n endpoints of the given diameters. The study of this type of polygons is motivated by ethnomusiciolog...
متن کاملEcological study in an area supplied with Drinking Water from Cyanotoxin Contaminated Reservoirs
Objectives Sardinia populations experienced continuous shortage of water resources for thousands of years. To solve this problem, during 1950-1980, the main rivers were dammed creating 45 reservoirs which rapidly became eutrophic or hypertrophic, with toxic cyanobacterial blooms and a generally poor water quality. In order to investigate relations between some cancers occurrence and drinking ...
