LaSb _2 2 exhibits a large, non-saturating, linear magnetoresistance at low temperatures, defying the expectations of Fermi liquid theory. This is thought to be caused by charge density wave order emerging below an abrupt, hysteretic anomaly in resistivity \sim di...

The incompressible Stokes equations with prescribed normal stress (open) boundary conditions on part of the boundary are considered. It is shown that the standard pressure-correction method is not suitable for approximating the Stokes equations with open boundary conditions, whereas the rotational pressure-correction method yields reasonably good error estimates. These results appear to be the ...

It is widely known that dehydration increases the main phase transition temperature of phospholipids. A mathematical analysis now shows that hydration pressure can be calculated by the dehydration-induced shift of the phase transition temperature. The hydration-dependent piezotropic and thermotropic phase transitions were determined by using calorimetry and FT-IR spectroscopy, and the applicati...
