We propose an encoding method of numerical data in DNA using temperature gradient. We introduce melting temperature (Tm) for this purpose. Melting temperature is a unique characteristic to manipulate the hybridization and denaturation processes that used in the key steps in DNA computing such as the solution generation step and the amplification step. DNA strands of lower melting temperature te...

Simulations of small unilamellar lipid bilayer vesicles have been performed to model their response to an instantaneous rise in temperature, starting from an initial low-temperature structure, to temperatures near or above the main chain transition temperature. The MARTINI coarse-grained force-field was used to construct slabs of gel-phase DPPC bilayers, which were assembled into truncated icos...

High-pressure melting experiments on the Homestead L5 ordinary chondrite were performed at 5 GPa in a multi-anvil device over a temperature interval that ranged from near solidus to near liquidus conditions. Near solidus silicate liquids of Homestead have higher CaO/Al2O3 and lower Mg# compared to solidus liquids of terrestrial peridotite (e.g.: KLB-1) at this pressure. The silicate portion of ...

Melting of crystalline solids ~superlattices! of octadecanethiol and octanethiol protected silver clusters has been studied with x-ray powder diffraction ~XRD!, differential scanning calorimetry ~DSC!, and infrared ~IR! spectroscopy. These solids have been compared with the silver thiolate layered compounds in view of their similarity in alkyl chain packing and x-ray diffraction patterns. Super...

Previously unknown phenomena, scale, and kinetic effects are revealed by introducing the finite width ξ of the particle-exterior interface as the additional scale parameter and thermally activated melting in the phase field approach. In addition to traditional continuous barrierless premelting and melting for ξ = 0, barrierless hysteretic jumplike premelting (melting) and thermally activated pr...

Motivation: The overall performance of several molecular biology techniques involving DNA/DNA hybridization depends on the accurate prediction of the experimental value of a critical parameter: the melting temperature. To date, many computer software based on different methods and/or parameterizations are available for the theoretical estimation of the experimental melting temperature value of ...

Melting points and fusion enthalpies are predicted for a series of 81 compounds by combining experimental solubilities in a variety of solvents and analyzed according to the theory of mobile order and disorder (MOD) and using the total phase change entropy estimated by a group additivity method. The error associated in predicting melting points is dependent on the magnitude of the temperature p...
