We measured several characteristics of water molecules and imidazoles in the MD simulations (table S4). The number of water molecules within the membrane region is similar for the R-HC8 and S-HC8 constructs, 68 and 65, respectively, and is significantly higher than for the HC8 system featuring 39 water molecules. This results in the formation of water wires of roughly 3.5 nm in length, much longer than the length of ~1.0 nm of the water wires observed in the selectivity filter of AQP (22). We previously characterized the structure of I-quartet channels in the membrane region and concluded that the most representative channels in our simulation setup are the two central ones, which are less perturbed by boundary effects than the more exposed lateral ones (14). Hence, most of the simulation analysis focuses on these two central channels depicted in Fig. 4A. The visually apparent water ordering and orientation is in part due to anchoring sites provided by the imidazole structure across the membrane. Another contribution to water structuring originates in the electrostatic field generated by the ensemble of charges in the I-quartet system as depicted in Fig. 4B. A positive to negative potential field gradient builds up from bottom to top, driven by an additive effect of the orientation and ordering of imidazole dipoles, which seems to be highly correlated with the membrane contractions observed from QCM-D experiments. Qualitatively, this effect seems proportional to the preserved ordering of the imidazoles and decreases from R-HC8 to S-HC8 and HC8.

Participating in the purple shadow trend doesn’t have to be overtly vibrant. You can ease into it with the subtle amethyst-inspired hues in the Bobbi Brown Crystal Drama Eyeshadow Palette.

Another option? "Start by just rocking a few pieces in the front to see if it will work for [your] skin tone and look. I will sometimes switch women to a more translucent color so that more of their grays can come through slowly,” says Williard. Translucent colors, as opposed to permanent colors, are less opaque, and therefore help blend the grays in more with your previous tone.

Experimental QCM-D frequency, ΔF (hertz) and dissipation coefficient, ΔD (−) shifts associated with the SLB formation on silica QCM-D sensors via fusion of SUVs of mixtures of lipids: (A) PC/PS, 4:1 mol/mol, and (B) PC/PS, 4:1 mol/mol + HC8. The two arrows for each panel indicate (i) SUV injection at 4 min and (ii) the washing step with 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.4) after 12 min. Data of the fifth, seventh, and ninth overtones are shown for ΔF (F5, F7, and F9) and ΔD (D5, D7, and D9). SUV concentration was 0.2 mg/ml. Flow rate was kept constant at 100 μl/min.

Abstract: A planetary carrier assembly is provided for a transmission. The carrier assembly comprises a powder metal carrier member including a carrier plate having a plurality of carrier legs extending from the carrier plate, and a powder metal cover member including a cover plate having a plurality of cover legs extending from the cover plate. The carrier assembly includes a sleeve member defining a plurality of braze material retention features stamped along a perimeter of the sleeve member. In various aspects, the braze material retention features cooperate with the carrier member and the cover member, in an assembled state, to define retention apertures shaped and sized to retain a braze material adjacent the single plane prior to a sintering process. A portion of the carrier member is aligned with both a portion of the cover member and a portion of the sleeve member, and brazed together in a single plane.

At a Mercedes dealership in the center of Ahmedabad, where the most expensive model, the Maybach S 650 sedan, sells for 35 million rupees (more than $486,000), sales staff fret that the weaker rupee has inflated the costs of the vehicles. The top models are imported from factories in Germany.

Naturally, I also intend to buy this whenever it FINALLY hits in North America. I also STILL want to know what the daggon holdup is! Getting QUITE tired of the wait.

In her next set of experiments, Dharmarwardana glued tiny stainless steel balls to the anchored crystals to see how much weight the crystal cantilevers could lift as they were heated. Because the crystals are brittle, she expected them to break under the load.
