Quick ViewIn this collection, the authors examine how modeling impact of solid particles contributes to an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of erosive wear. However, most previous studies focus on spherical particles, which are not representative of abrasive particles. Hence, a study is presented which develops a mesh-free model based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)…

Quick ViewLipid rafts are nanometer-sized subdomains of the plasma membrane containing higher concentrations of cholesterol, phosphatidylinositols, and sphingolipids. In Lipid Rafts: Properties and Role in Signaling, the authors summarize their observations that receptor preassembly is required for biological function; the interaction between receptor chains requires both the presence of Jak1 and their co-nanolocalization within lipid raft;…

Quick ViewSugarcane bagasse is considered a by-product of the sugar-alcohol industries. However, in the last few decades, this biomass has been used mainly for energy generation. Considering the widespread uses of sugarcane bagasse, the authors begin with a focus on detailed information about the main producers of sugarcane and world availability for its plantation. Different approaches…

Quick ViewApart from the short-range interactions mediated by diffusion, long-scale interactions are indispensable for giant plant cells including internodal cells of Characeae because the inefficiency of diffusion for millimeter- and centimeter-scale distances should be counterbalanced by other mechanisms to ensure the integrity of cell metabolism. In this collection, the authors begin by presenting one approach for…

Quick ViewIn the opening study included in Horizons in World Physics. Volume 296, the authors argue that that the energy of man-made electromagnetic fields and corresponding electromagnetic radiation with frequencies starting from 0 Hz and approaching the low limit of infrared is not quantized, in contrast to molecular/atomic/nuclear electromagnetic fields/electromagnetic radiation. This study may initiate a…
