A note on differential operators of infinite order

A sufficient condition for entire functions f and g to be such that the series ∑_m=0^∞f^(m)(0)g^(m)/m! represents an entire function is established; and in that case, the growth of the resulting function is described.     

Mean sample spacings, sample size and variability in an auction-theoretic framework

In terms of a standard model for English auctions and sealed-bid auctions, we study the impact of an increase in bidding competition and in variance of the distribution of valuations on the winner's expected rent using tools from order statistics and stochastic ordering.     

A note on strong perfectness of graphs

In (strongly) perfect graphs, we define (strongly) canonical colorings; we show that for some classes of graphs, such colorings can be obtained by sequential coloring techniques. Chromatic properties ofP ₄-free graphs based on such coloring techniques are mentioned and extensions to graphs containing no inducedP ₅, orC ₅ are presented. In particular we characterize the class of graphs in which any maximal (or minimal) nodex in the vicinal preorder has the following property: there is either noP ₄ havingx as a midpoint or noP ₄ havingx as an endpoint. For such graphs, according to a result of Chvatal, there is a simple sequential coloring algorithm.

A new example of reversal of the order of migration of enantiomers, as a function of cyclodextrin concentration and pH, by cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis: enantioseparation of 6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diol

Enantioseparation of 6,6′-dibromo-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diol (DBBD) by cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE) was studied using the three native α, β, and γ cyclodextrins, the three hydroxypropylated cyclodextrins (2-hydroxypropyl-α, β, and γ), heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl-β-CD (DM-β-CD), and heptakis-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin (TM-β-CD). First, the acidity constants of DBBD were determined using capillary electrophoresis, before performing enantioseparation. The influence of the concentrations of the studied cyclodextrins on the enantioseparation was explored and the experimental optimal concentrations were determined and compared to the theoretical optimal concentrations. Moreover, the apparent complexation constants between each studied cyclodextrin and the two DBBD enantiomers were evaluated using a non-linear curve fitting method and three linear plotting methods (x-reciprocal, y-reciprocal and double reciprocal). For TM-β-CD, the order of migration of the enantiomers of DBBD reversed as a function of TM-β-CD concentration. The influence of the nature of methylated cyclodextrin derivatives (methyl-β-CD (M-β-CD) and DM-β-CD) was then studied. Inversion of the order of migration of the enantiomers of DBBD was observed for DM-β-CD, whereas the S enantiomer of DBBD always migrated first for M-β-CD.

Rationalizing the membrane interactions of cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides by their molecular shape

Biophysical and structural studies of cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides have revealed new mechanistic details concerning their membrane interactions. In interfacial environments the peptides adopt amphipathic conformations and the resulting distribution of polar, charged and hydrophobic residues allows them to partition into the bilayer interface. For several helical peptides it was found that their long axis is oriented parallel to the membrane surface, an arrangement which results in considerable perturbations in the packing of the lipid bilayer. Within the molecular shape concept the peptides act as wedge-like structures which impose positive curvature strain on the membrane. As a consequence a wide variety of morphologies are observed of peptide–lipid mixtures which strongly depend on the detailed peptide sequence, the membrane lipid composition, buffer, temperature and other environmental parameters. Therefore, the peptide–lipid systems are best described by phase diagrams, similar to the ones of detergent–lipid mixtures, encompassing on the one extreme regions where the peptide stabilizes the bilayer and on the other extreme regions where membrane lysis occurs. The effects of peptide sequence, membrane penetration depth, lipid composition and membrane surface charge density on membrane-association, -morphology and the resulting phase boundaries are discussed.     

水-卵磷脂有序体中的两个热力学常数

卵磷脂(PC)是一种两亲性分子,在水中当超过临界胶束浓度(cmc)以后,呈现一种既有流动性又有有序性的溶致液晶态.它又是脂类生物膜的主要成分,生物物理工作者也常用卵磷脂与水等形成的有序体作为模拟生物膜来研究生物膜的性质.ATP 在生物体中是十分重要的能量传递者,能与许多金属离子结合.Ca~(2+)通过“钙泵”实现跨膜输运.体内碳酸钙等含钙物质的过剩积累会产生各种结石病.了解Ca~(2+)-ATP 在水-卵磷脂有序体中的生成常数K 的变化无疑是有意义的.Mohan 和Rechnitz 已报导了在水溶液中Ca-ATP 生成常数的测定.Amin 等人阐述了胶束中化学反应对生物学的重要意义.Fendler 等人对胶束催化作用有详细沦述.但是前人都未报导当卵磷脂在水中形成有序体时对Ca-ATP 的生成常数

Electrical properties in compressed poorly crystalline apatite

A poorly crystallized apatite is prepared by co-precipitation at room temperature and dried by lyophilization. The electrical properties, in terms of ionic conductivity, improve after a second compression of the sample under 15 t/cm². Characterization by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and conductivity spectra show that this improved conductivity following the compression processing could be related to the establishment of order within the apatitic network.
