Padure (Beltes) piliakalnio (Latvija) osteologinė medžiaga: rūšių pasiskirstymas ir skerdimo technologija
2013
In the excavated Padure (Beltes) hill-fort in Latvia, cultural layers from the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age (Stage 1), and the Middle Iron Age and the Late Iron Age (Stage 2), were detected, which, besides the archaeological material typical of that period, provided abundant zooarchaeological material. This article presents the investigation data from the zooarchaeological material of both stages: the data relate to the butchering techniques used, and the identification of the composition of the faunal species. The investigation was carried out in the bioarchaeological laboratory of the Institute of Baltic Region History and Archaeology at Klaipėda University. As is proven by the …

Critical behavior of a colloid-polymer mixture confined between walls
2006
We investigate the influence of confinement on phase separation in colloid-polymer mixtures. To describe the particle interactions, the colloid-polymer model of Asakura and Oosawa [J. Chem. Phys. 22, 1255 (1954)] is used. Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are then applied to this model confined between two parallel hard walls, separated by a distance D=5 colloid diameters. We focus on the critical regime of the phase separation and look for signs of crossover from three-dimensional (3D) Ising to two-dimensional (2D) Ising universality. To extract the critical behavior, finite size scaling techniques are used, including the recently proposed algorithm of Kim et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91…
The role of hydrophobic matching on transmembrane helix packing in cells
2017
Folding and packing of membrane proteins are highly influenced by the lipidic component of the membrane. Here, we explore how the hydrophobic mismatch (the difference between the hydrophobic span of a transmembrane protein region and the hydrophobic thickness of the lipid membrane around the protein) influences transmembrane helix packing in a cellular environment. Using a ToxRED assay in Escherichia coli and a Bimolecular Fluorescent Complementation approach in human-derived cells complemented by atomistic molecular dynamics simulations we analyzed the dimerization of Glycophorin A derived transmembrane segments. We concluded that, biological membranes can accommodate transmembrane homo-di…
Alkyloxy modified pyrene fluorophores with tunable photophysical and crystalline properties
2019
Novel alkyloxy modified 2,7-di-tert-butyl-4,5,9,10-tetra(arylethynyl)pyrenes were prepared through a straightforward Sonogashira coupling approach. Optical properties such as quantum yields and absorption/emission spectra of the fluorophores were investigated by UV/Vis and fluorescence measurements. Aggregation induced excimer formation of the chromophores in polar solvents and in the solid state was proved by the presence of a characteristic bathochromically shifted emission band and a decrease of the emission capability. These results strongly indicate the unexpected observation that the excimer formation of adjacent pyrene rings is not prevented by the introduction of bulky tert-butyl su…
Detailed Analysis of Packing Efficiency Allows Rationalization of Solvate Formation Propensity for Selected Structurally Similar Organic Molecules
2018
In structural study of seven bile acids it was identified that their propensity for solvate formation is directly related to the packing efficiency of the unsolvated phases: low packing index, voids, and unsatisfied hydrogen bonding lead to extensive solvate formation, whereas efficient packing leads to the opposite. This was determined to be caused by the presence of OH group attached to carbon C12. Solvate formation was determined to provide a noticeable improvement in the packing efficiency for compounds having ansolvates with inefficient packing.
Über polygermane
1980
Abstract The crystal structure of octaphenylcyclotetragermane, (Ph 2 Ge) 4 , has been determined and refined to an R value of 0.046. The symmetry of the molecule approximater D 2d . the Ge 4 ring is nearly planar and square (angle of pucker 3.9°, GeGe 246.5(5) pm). The 8 phenyl groups (GeC 196.2(10) pm) are arranged in two distinct sets (“parallel” touching and perpendicular to the Ge 4 ring) which exchange their positions in solution. The packing of the (Ph 2 Ge) 4 molecules in the crystal resembles a cubic body centred sphere packing. The homocyclic series (Ph 2 Ge) n with n 4, 5, 6 shows 13 C NMR signals in CDCl 3 solution monotonic dependent on the endocyclic GeGeGe angles.
Application of microwaves dielectric spectroscopy for controlling pork meat (Longissimus dorsi) salting process
2010
Abstract Salting treatment is a common operation in the production of high quality meat products, one of its main problems is the difficulty to control the simultaneous water and salt fluxes into the product and control the protein fibers transformation throughout process. Dielectric properties of salted porcine meat are strongly related to its structure and composition. Thus, dielectric properties measurement appears as a promising method for controlling on-line the salting process in meat industry. Dielectric spectroscopy studies have been performed on raw and salted Longissimus dorsi pork samples. Dielectric spectra were measured in the frequency range from 500 MHz to 20 GHz by an Agilen…
Mode coupling approach to the ideal glass transition of molecular liquids: Linear molecules
1997
The mode coupling theory (MCT) for the ideal liquid glass transition, which was worked out for simple liquids mainly by Gotze, Sjogren, and their co-workers, is extended to a molecular liquid of linear and rigid molecules. By use of the projection formalism of Zwanzig and Mori an equation of motion is derived for the correlators S[sub lm,l[sup (prime)]m[sup (prime)]]([bold q],t) of the tensorial one-particle density rho [sub lm]([bold q],t), which contains the orientational degrees of freedom for l(greater-than)0. Application of the mode coupling approximation to the memory kernel results into a closed set of equations for S[sub lm,l[sup (prime)]m[sup (prime)]]([bold q],t), which requires t…
Direct observation of a buckling transition during the formation of thin colloidal crystals
2007
We have investigated a colloidal suspension in a thin wedge formed by two glass plates in the presence of a lateral pressure. Starting with a single hexagonal layer, with increasing separation between the glass plates additional layers are added. This process is accompanied by a number of structural transitions necessary to maintain a high packing fraction under the given boundary conditions. Besides the well-known sequence of hexagonal and quadratic phases, we observe two new phases which are identified with the buckling and the rhombic phase recently predicted by other authors.
