A Novel Microrheometer for Measuring Rheological Properties of Microquantities of Fluids

Lo C.S., Prewett P.D., Ward M.C.L., Docker P.T., University of Birmingham, UK

This paper describes a novel micromachined microrheometer, designed to measure the rheological properties of micro quantities of fluids. Measurements are achieved by monitoring the movement of superparamagnetic microbeads whilst in suspension in fluid when placed [...]

Monte Carlo Study of Models of Membrane Proteins

Connor T.P., Pagan D.L., Shiryayev A., Gunton J.D., Lehigh University, US

The crystallization of membrane proteins from solution is sensitive to the role of initial conditions. In order to understand this dependence, we report preliminary results for two models for membrane proteins, each with short range [...]
