An example is the selective transport of water with respect to ions from membrane potential gradients across biological pores such as aquaporins (AQPs) (8). In this context, it has previously been shown that natural AQPs can be mimicked using structurally simpler artificial compounds while displaying relatively high water flow rates and ionic exclusion (9–11). We previously reported that artificial imidazole quartets (I-quartets), that are stacks of four imidazoles and two water molecules, form a water channel in the lipid bilayer membranes (Fig. 1). These artificial I-quartets can stabilize oriented water wires within a 2.6 Å diameter pore (Fig. 1D) (12), which is very close to the narrowest constriction observed in AQPs (2.8 Å) (13). The channels can transport ~106 water molecules per second per channel, which is within two orders of magnitude of AQPs’ transport rates, and reject all ions except protons (14). These self-assembled channels exhibit remarkable combinations of structural behavior such as dipolar orientation of confined water reminiscent of those observed in natural AQPs. They represent model systems of prime importance for enhancing water and proton translocation along oriented water wires (14). This dipolar orientation of water molecules within an artificial channel may furthermore adopt the supramolecular chirality of individual channels, whereas overall achiral structures with inverted symmetry contain opposing chiral oriented channels. Intrinsic chiral channels remove this restriction enabling the formation of unique chiral dipolar oriented water channels.

Sephora is carrying four Good Dye Young products: a semi-permanent hair dye, a temporary “hair makeup,” a lightening kit, and a set of mixing tools. No item costs more than $20, with the dyes maxing out at $18.

The fuss has taken the council by surprise – it says it is merely tidying up the regulations and fees that accompany funerals and what comes after; that most of the rules raising concern already exist in the "legacy" documents of pre-amalgamation councils and Parliamentary Acts.

Between 1945 and 1946, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was awarded a scholarship to study abroad at a London University Institute of Education.   At the end of his sojourn, he received   a Teachers’ Certificate in History.   But like Macaulay, Azikiwe and Awolowo, Balewa, who had founded the Bauchi Discussion Circle, BDC, (an organisation interested in and committed to political reform) set the stage for his brand of political activism – the foundation for this laid while studying abroad.  Even Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, upon return from abroad, was directly nominated to represent the province of Sokoto in the regional House of Assembly.   After attending Katsina College, Mallam Aminu Kano attended the University of London’s Institute of Education. He returned home to participate in politics, making the down-trodden his concern.

Abstract: A video capture and formatting system including a plurality of lenses, a digital sensor, and an editing unit. The lenses capture light from a defined viewable area and are curvilinear in nature. The sensor receives the light from the lenses and senses the color, exposure, and travel distance of each photon. The sensor generates image data representing the visual characteristics of the image and the photon travel distance for each pixel. The editing unit processes image data from the sensor and blends the images from each lens together by matching the photon distance around the sides of each lens image data. The editing unit forms a master format having a two dimensional equi-rectangular image with depth perception provided from the photon travel distance of each pixel.

"If you are someone who tends to react to certain ingredients, I would recommend doing more than one patch test," Dr. Jaliman says. She suggests doing two. "Sometimes people don’t have a reaction to the first patch test."

DFT calculation was performed by using the CP2K package. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof functional with Grimme D3 correction was used to describe the system. Unrestricted Kohn-Sham DFT was used as the electronic structure method in the framework of the Gaussian and plane-wave method. The Goedecker-Teter-Hutter (GTH) pseudopotentials and DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH basis sets were used to describe the molecules. A plane-wave energy cutoff of 500 rydbergs was used.

The diesel that fuels his vehicle has increased in price by one-fifth. Yet when he brings his crop to market, he cannot recoup the additional costs.

Hermes galvanised its links with the equestrian on Saturday by holding its Paris Fashion Week runway show at the French capital’s celebrated Longchamp Racecourse. Vivienne Westwood, meanwhile, went street, Elie Saab got playful and the runways in general got a lot of models dressed in black and white.

Every sector from tech and electronics with up to 30 per cent off TVs and laptops, all the way to kidswear with Trunki, swimwear and newborn essentials all hit with the Black Friday treatment.

Scientists say that understanding time crystals may lead to improvements in atomic clocks, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, as well as aid in building potential quantum technologies. The U.S. Department of Defense recently announced a program to fund more research into time crystal systems.
