An increased kinetic energy reflects an increase in temperature. A change in potential energy reflects an energy transformation, as shown in Fig. 11 [57]. During liquid water bubble nucleation, the change in potential energy increased with increasing heat, 70% of which was converted to potential...
In subject area: Physics and Astronomy Molecular dynamics is a technique used to study the properties of nuclear-related materials by solving Newton's equations of motion for a group of particles iteratively. The particles interact with each other through potential energy functions, allowing for the...
To investigate the intramolecular motion in aggregate states, water was gradually added into the THF solution, and the PL spectra were recorded (Fig. 2b, c). The PL intensity of OTTAB decreases at first and then increases gradually with water fraction, representing a kind of AIE signature. ...
DNA from macrobial taxa can be extracted from environmental samples, including water, and be used to assess biodiversity in the region. Here, Bista and colleagues show that temporal shifts in the biodiversity of a lake invertebrate community can be detected by analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA...
which is followed by the creation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is the main cause of the apoptosis of tumor cells. 2) Photodynamic therapy activates the immune system, releasing inflammatory mediators like IL-6, IL-1, and TNF-alpha, heat shock protein (HSP), and DAMPs (Damage ...
Heat map of DEGs during low-temperature stress in the potato. The color represents gene expression values (the red corresponds to genes with high expression and the blue corresponds to gene with low expression). S20, S2 and S-2 correspond to the libraries obtained in the temperature 20 °C,...
Stern’s deep interest in thermodynamics dates back to his apprenticeship, Fig.1, at the University of Breslau with the pioneer of quantum statistical mechanics Otto Sackur (1880–1914). Sackur, Fig.2, was one of the first to apply quantum ideas to a non-periodic motion, namely to the tra...
Several research teams have adduced data demonstrating that p38/MAPK is a major player in the promotion and regulation of inflammatory and immune responses in general and that the upregulation of p38/MAPK is a pivotal driver of pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription and translation [88]. Phosphoryl...
According to the residence time analysis, this makes the interfacial water more confined, and it gradually loses its lubricating effect and starts hindering the molecular motion in the above water layers as the SAM coverage is increased. This is because intermediate-coverage SAMs have more OTS ...
Kinesin is a biological molecular nanomotor which converts chemical energy into mechanical work. To fulfill various nanotechnological tasks in engineered environments, the function of biological molecular motors can be altered by artificial chemical modi
