Nanomolecular Gravitational Interactions Causing Incrased Probability of Birth Defects in Humans During Period from Conception to Early Fetus Formation

Vezzoli G.C., The Franklin Institute of Technology, US

It is found that small decreases in gravity that are caused by planet syzygy, full moon presence, and cosmogonic events of deep space can cause a sufficient change in gravitational interactions to affect the nucleons [...]

11-cis-Retinal Protonated Schiff Base: The effect of environment and solvent on the chromophore of rhodopsin

Entel P., Sugihara M., Buß V., Elstner M., Frauenheim Th., Gerhard-Mercator-Universität, DE

Recently the structure of rhodopsin was determined from the X-ray diffraction data extending to the resolution of 2.8 A. We have studied the effects of amino acids and of water using A density functional based [...]

Modeling of the Deformation of Living Cells Induced by Atomic Force Microscopy

Rudd R.E., McElfresh M., Baesu E., Balhorn R., Alleny M., Belak J., Lawrence Livermore National Lab., US

We describe finite element modeling of the deformation of living cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Cells are soft systems, susceptible to large deformations in the course of an AFM measurement. Often the local properties, [...]

Molecular, Surface and Continuum Issues in the Capture of Bacteria Particles by Solid Aerosols

Kohlberg I., Boezer G., Greer W., Good R., Institute for Defense Analyses, US

In this study, we develop the design parameters required to remove airborne biological particles by impact with scavenging aerosols. The conditions for capturing air-borne biological particles for a head-on collision are deter-mined as a function [...]
