Rotational friction on proteins and macromolecules is known to derive contributions from at least two distinct sources – hydrodynamic (due to viscosity) and dielectric friction (due to polar interactions). In the existing theoretical approaches, the effect of the latter is taken into account in an ad hoc manner, by increasing the size of the protein with the addition of a hydration layer. Here ...

This paper presents an analysis of the motion of an neutral impurity species in a nanometer scale 4He cluster, extending a previous study of the dynamics of an ionic impurity. It is shown that for realistic neutral impurity–He potentials, such as those of SF6 and OCS, the impurity is kept well away of the the surface of the cluster by long range induction and dispersion interactions with He, bu...

Hydrodynamic size-minimized quantum dots (QDs) have outstanding physicochemical properties for applications in multicolor molecular and cellular imaging at the level of single molecules and nanoparticles. In this study, we have reported the aqueous synthesis of Ag2S QDs by using thiol-based multidentate polymers as capping reagents. By regulating the composition of the precursors (AgNO3 and sul...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

We study a model of assisted diffusion of hard-core particles on a line. Our model is a special case of a multispecies exclusion process, but the long-time decay of correlation functions can be qualitatively different from that of the simple exclusion process, depending on initial conditions. This behaviour is a consequence of the existence of an infinity of conserved quantities. The configurat...
