The modification of the curvature moduli due to surface charges in lipid bilayers is analyzed using the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the relationship between the charge density and surface potential. An expansion in a small parameter epsilon, which is the ratio of the Debye length and the radius of curvature, is used. At low charge densities, previous results obtained from the Debye...

the kinetics of mn(vii) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of mn(ii) as catalyst. the reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to mn(vii). the results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [h2so4], [(mn)ii], and [lysine]. the dependence ofthe...

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H+ + cytidine 5-monophosphate (CMP)and H+ + cytidine 5-monophosphate + Tl (I) ion have been determined in aqueous solution in a widepH range of 1.5 to 10.5 at 25 °C and different ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 moldm-3NaClO4, NaNO3, and NaCl using potentiometric-spectrophotometric technique. The composition ofthe complexes was...

The gas of magnetic monopoles in spin ice is governed by one key parameter: the monopole chemical potential. A significant variation of this parameter could access hitherto undiscovered magnetic phenomena arising from monopole correlations, as observed in the analogous electrical Coulomb gas, like monopole dimerization, critical phase separation, or charge ordering. However, all known spin ices...

Most dyes constitute a class of electrolytes display ing peculiar properties in their relationship with water. There is a great deal of evidence that dye ions aggregate in aqueous solutions.15 Several methods have been proposed for the study of this phenomenon. Although very promising, vapour pressure osmometry has been almost completely neglected. Milicevic and Eigenmann6 reported the values o...

The gelation of water suspension of a synthetic clay (Laponite) has been studied by dynamic light scattering in a wide range of clay weight concentration (C(w)=0.003-0.031). At variance with previous determination, indicating a stable liquid phase for C(w)<C(*)(w) approximately 0.015-0.018, we find that gelation actually takes place in the whole examined C(w) range. We find also that C(*)(w) ma...

   In this study, linearized transport pore model (LTPM) is applied for modeling nanofiltration (NF) membrane separation process. This modeling approach is based on the modified extended Nernst-Planck equation enhanced by Debye-Huckel theory to take into account the variations of activity coefficient especially at high salt concentrations. Rejection of single-salt (NaCl) electrolyte is inve...
