The depletion attraction: an underappreciated force driving cellular organization

The depletion attraction: an underappreciated force driving cellular organization

Cellular structures are shaped by hydrogen and ionic bonds, plus van der Waals and hydrophobic forces. In cells crowded with macromolecules, a little-known and distinct force-the "depletion attraction"-also acts. We review evidence that this force assists in the assembly of a wide range of cellular structures, ranging from the cytoskeleton to chromatin loops and whole chromosomes.

Autogynephilia: an underappreciated paraphilia.

Autogynephilia is defined as a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism. Autogynephilia encompasses sexual arousal with cross-dressing and cross-gender expression that does not involve women's clothing per se. The concept of autogynephilia ...

What Is The Driving Force Behind Industrial Development In Iran? Rent Seeking And Labor Exploitation As The Driving Force Of Industrial Growth

Evaluation of Biogas as an Alternative Driving Force of Electrically Operated Vehicles: A Case Study

In the present world, energy is indispensable for maintaining the comfort level and living standard of the human. On the other hand, the energy crisis is a major problem in most of the developing countries like Bangladesh. A possible reason is that, the decreasing level of conventional energy sources and the lack of initiatives for introducing the alternative sources of energy. Moreover, the in...

Computation of Potential and Attraction Force of an Ellipsoid

The paper examines the problem of computing the potential and the attraction force of an ellipsoid, which requires taking a triple integral with an analytically integrable kernel. We consider the kernel as a weight function, while the inner integral is approximated by a quadrature for the product of functions, one of which has an integrable singularity. Such an approach makes it possible to obt...
