This study investigates the influence of excess water on lipidic mesophase during phase transition from diamond cubic (Pn3m) to reverse hexagonal (HII). By a combination of...

failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. this study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...

We study the behavior of five proteins at the air-water and oil-water interfaces by all-atom molecular dynamics. The proteins are found to get distorted when pinned to the interface. This behavior is consistent with the phenomenological way of introducing the interfaces in a coarse-grained model through a force that depends on the hydropathy indices of the residues. Proteins couple to the oil-w...

It is inferred that the formation of an electrical double layer in phospholipid membranes is affected by the modified water. structure at the membrane/water interface. Theoretical evidence is presented indicating a decrease in the number density of water hydrogen bonds and the appearance of a layer of spontaneously polarized water at the solid/water interface which are the eonsequence of the or...
