ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. the ion channels control many physiological functions and they can show selectivity for a specific ion. ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. the influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...

In the present work, the integral equations method is used to calculate transport properties of polar fluids. For this goal, we use the Stockmayer potential and examine theoretically the thermal conductivity of several refrigerant mixtures such as R125+R134a, R125+R32, R125+R152a, R134a+R32, R152a+R32, R134a+R143a, and R125+R143a. We solve numerically the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation usin...

in this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (swcnt) is reported. methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...

in present research work, homogeneous anion exchange membranes based on polysulfone (qapsfs) were prepared via chloromethylation, amination and alkalization. in amination step, trimethylamine and n,n,n',n'-tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine were used as amination and crosslinking agents, respectively. the chloromethylated polysulfone was characterized by 1hnmr spectroscopy and chloromethylation degr...

disordered t-shaped graphene nanodevice (tgn) was designed and studied in this paper. we demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties of the tgn by using landauer approach. knowing the transmission probability of an electron the current through the system is obtained using landauer-buttiker formalism. the effects of single disorder on conductance, current and on the transport length scales a...

The transport properties of various anion and cation exchange membranes were studied in different electrolyte solutions using chronopotentiometry technique to get insight about the influence of the counter ion on the transport properties of the membranes. The investigated samples include heterogeneous ion exchange membranes varying in the functionality of fixed charged gro...
