Finite-size scaling study of the vapor-liquid critical properties of confined fluids: Crossover from three dimensions to two dimensions.

TL;DR: Departure from linearity is found in the relationship between critical temperature and inverse wall separation, as well as nonmonotonic dependence of the critical density and the liquid density at coexistence upon wall separation.

Late stages of visual pigment photolysis in situ: cones vs. rods.

TL;DR: The fast hydrolysis of the 3-dehydroretinal/opsin Schiff base and the correspondingly fast appearance of the substrates for dark visual pigment regeneration provide essential conditions for faster dark adaptation of cone (diurnal) as compared to rod (nocturnal) vision.

Reducing spurious flow in simulations of electrokinetic phenomena.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method that reduces one of these spurious currents, spurious flow, by several orders of magnitude, and demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of their method for both the electrokinetic lattice-Boltzmann and finite element-based algorithms by simulating a charged sphere in an electrolyte solution and flow through a nanopore.

Critical adsorption of polyelectrolytes onto planar and convex highly charged surfaces: the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann approach

TL;DR: In this article, the scaling relations for the threshold transition of a polyelectrolyte near weakly charged interfaces are altered for highly charged interfaces, such as planar, cylindrical and spherical surfaces with arbitrarily high surface charge densities.

Arg-425 of the citrate transporter CitP is responsible for high affinity binding of di- and tricarboxylates.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Arg-425 complexes the charged carboxylate present in divalent substrates but that is absent in monovalent substrates, and thus plays an important role in the generation of the membrane potential.
