BACKGROUND Nonimmobilizers are agents that lack anesthetic properties, although their chemical structure is very similar to known anesthetics. The primary action site of both agents, whether at the membrane or target protein level, is still a matter of debate. However, increasing evidence points to the distinct modifications of the membrane physical properties that such agents induce. Such modi...

The major goal of this research was to examine how coumarin affects lipid model membranes. For reason, liposome membranes were formed using dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) as zwitterionic lipid. influence on the morphology, packing order, fluidity, and hydration state specifically investigated by means microscopic (field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)) spectroscopic (atte...

Addition of DMPC considerably inhibits the degradation of Carmofur in neutral phosphate buffer solutions and this drug becomes less influenced by pH. Carmofur stabilization at neutral pH caused by DMPC addition for in vitro studies was characterized and monitored by 1H NMR. Antiproliferative activity studies on various tumor cell lines showed considerable increase of Carmofur ability to prevent...

Using a classical simulation protocol for nonlinear optical signals, we predict the two-dimensional (2D) spectra of water near a monolayer of [1,2-dimytristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine] (DMPC) generated by three IR probe pulses followed by one visible probe pulse. Sum-frequency-generation 1D spectra show two peaks of the OH stretch representing two environments: near-bulk water nonadjac...

Biochanin A is a naturally occurring isoflavone, most commonly found in legumes, especially in soya beans or in red clover. The spectrum of biochanin As biological activities is very wide: it displays antioxidative, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and enzyme inhibitory properties. At least some of those activities may involve the interaction of biochanin A with the lipid phase o...

In this paper, we present an analysis of the vulnerability a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme in context cyber-security. We consider different types so-called insider attacks. particular, situation where one local controllers sends false information to others manipulate costs for its own advantage. Then, propose popular scenario-based mechanism protect or, at least, relieve co...

Distributed Model Predictive Control (DMPC) has received significant attention in the literature. However, the robustness of DMPC with respect to model errors has not been explicitly addressed. In this paper, an online algorithm that deals explicitly with model errors for DMPC is proposed. The algorithm requires decomposing the entire system into N subsystems and solving N convex optimization p...

Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind power system with full rating converter configuration is especially suitable for energy applications. Direct model predictive control (DMPC) has led to more possibilities in terms of choice because its straightforward concept PMSG turbine systems high-power off-shore farms. However, due complete dependence on the knowledge, parameter mismatches...

The selectivity of interaction between bovine spinal cord myelin basic protein (MBP) and eight different spin-labeled lipid species in complexes with dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) and between spin-labeled phosphatidylglycerol and spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine in complexes of MBP with various mixtures of DMPG and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been studied by electron spin...
