We present a molecular theory to study the adsorption of different species within pH-sensitive hydrogel nanofilms. The theoretical framework allows for a molecular-level description of all the components of the system, and it explicitly accounts for the acid-base equilibrium. We concentrate on the adsorption of hexahistidine, one of the most widely used tags in bio-related systems, particularly...

Imagine a family going out for a walk. The mother reasons beyond what she is seeing: she may guess “why her husband suddenly looks at their son”, “what his gesture means”, and “where to move next”. The son riding a bicycle may reason about “how hard I would pedal my way up the slope”. My research goal is identifying such deep reasoning based on my conjecture—a wearable camera can tap into their...

A father recounts a transformative journey of love, loss, and learning as his son developed and eventually died of a fungal infection that occurred during a period of immunocompromise after a bone marrow transplantation to treat hypodiploid leukemia. He then thanks the many physicians, researchers, family members, and friends who came together to memorialize his son and create knowledge, hope, ...

h, Jacopo, if you had my drawing and I had your color, I would defy the devil himself to enable Tit-ian, Raphael, and the rest to make any show beside us, " exclaimed Tintoretto as he discussed contemporary painting with his friend Jacopo da Ponte, known as Bassano for his hometown Bassano del Grappa, near Venice. At the foot of the Alps and surrounded by chestnut woods, this small town once on...

I n early 2003 an Israeli agent in the Gaza Strip telephoned Mustafa, a wealthy Palestinian merchant in Gaza, to inform him that over the previous three months his son Ahmad had been preparing for a suicide bombing mission in Israel. Mustafa was told that if his son followed through with his plans, he and his family would suffer severe consequences: their home would be demolished, and Israel wo...

As patrons and editors, I and Dr. Mirza had to work on few very vital issues. First and foremost concern was that it should not be looked upon an isolated Indo-Pak venture! Though in the first five years, 2/3rd of the contributions are from these two neighboring countries, the other 1/3rd valuable share comes from all parts of the globe (Table 1 and Fig. 1). We have an international reach now. ...

and approaching its definitive links with genetic studies, especially through studies of bacteriophage. The famous "green paper" by Timofeeff-Ressovsky, Zimmer and Delbruck was published in 1933; Schlesinger pointed to the resemblance in chemical composition of phage and of chromosomes, carriers of genetic information, three years later; the Wollmans in Paris made pioneering contributions to th...
