Scaling and self-similarity in an unforced flow of inviscid fluid trapped inside a viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell
We investigate quasi-two-dimensional relaxation, by surface tension, of a
long straight stripe of inviscid fluid trapped inside a viscous fluid in a
Hele-Shaw cell. Combining analytical and numerical solutions, we describe the
emergence of a self-similar dumbbell shape and find non-trivial dynamic
exponents that characterize scaling behavior of the dumbbell dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in PR
Loop corrections to the sphaleron transition rate in the minimal standard model
The baryon number dissipation rate due to sphaleron transitions at high
temperatures in the minimal standard model is evaluated. We find that this rate
can be considerably suppressed by one loop contributions of bosonic and
fermionic fluctuations which are particularly important for a small mass of the
Higgs boson and a large top quark mass. Fixing the latter to its recently
stated value of 174 GeV the complete erasure of the baryon asymmetry is
prevented within the framework of the minimal standard model if the Higgs mass
is less than about 66 GeV.Comment: 11 pages (LaTex) plus 2 figures (uuencoded postscript files);

Anomalous Dynamic Scaling in Locally-Conserved Coarsening of Fractal Clusters
We report two-dimensional phase-field simulations of locally-conserved
coarsening dynamics of random fractal clusters with fractal dimension D=1.7 and
1.5. The correlation function, cluster perimeter and solute mass are measured
as functions of time. Analyzing the correlation function dynamics, we identify
two different time-dependent length scales that exhibit power laws in time. The
exponents of these power laws are independent of D, one of them is apparently
the classic exponent 1/3. The solute mass versus time exhibits dynamic scaling
with a D-dependent exponent, in agreement with a simple scaling theory.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Induction of Laccase, Lignin Peroxidase and Manganese Peroxidase Activities in White-Rot Fungi Using Copper Complexes
Ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase, are biotechnologically-important enzymes. The ability of five white-rot fungal strains Daedaleopsis confragosa, Fomes fomentarius, Trametes gibbosa, Trametes suaveolens and Trametes versicolor to produce these enzymes has been studied. Three different copper(II) complexes have been prepared ((Him)[Cu(im)4(H2O)2](btc) 3H2O, where im = imidazole, H3btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, [Cu3(pmdien)3(btc)](ClO4)3 6H2O) and [Cu3(mdpta)3(btc)](ClO4)3 4H2O, where pmdien = N,N,N0,N0 0, N0 0-pentamethyl-diethylenetriamine and mdpta = N,N-bis-(3-aminopropyl)methyl-amine), and their potential application for laccase and peroxidases induction have been tested. The enzyme-inducing activities of the complexes were compared with that of copper sulfate, and it has been found that all of the complexes are suitable for the induction of laccase and peroxidase activities in white-rot fungi; however, the newly-synthesized complex M1 showed the greatest potential for the induction. With respect to the different copper inducers, this parameter seems to be important for enzyme activity, which depends also on the fungal strains
Breakdown of Scale Invariance in the Phase Ordering of Fractal Clusters
Our numerical simulations with the Cahn-Hilliard equation show that
coarsening of fractal clusters (FCs) is not a scale-invariant process. On the
other hand, a typical coarsening length scale and interfacial area of the FC
exhibit power laws in time, while the mass fractal dimension remains invariant.
The initial value of the lower cutoff is a relevant length scale. A
sharp-interface model is formulated that can follow the whole dynamics of a
diffusion controlled growth, coarsening, fragmentation and approach to
equilibrium in a system with conserved order parameter.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, RevTex, submitted to PR
phenix.mr_rosetta: molecular replacement and model rebuilding with Phenix and Rosetta.
The combination of algorithms from the structure-modeling field with those of crystallographic structure determination can broaden the range of templates that are useful for structure determination by the method of molecular replacement. Automated tools in phenix.mr_rosetta simplify the application of these combined approaches by integrating Phenix crystallographic algorithms and Rosetta structure-modeling algorithms and by systematically generating and evaluating models with a combination of these methods. The phenix.mr_rosetta algorithms can be used to automatically determine challenging structures. The approaches used in phenix.mr_rosetta are described along with examples that show roles that structure-modeling can play in molecular replacement
Double fingerprint characterization of uracil and 5-fluorouracil
Time Resolved Raman spectroelectrochemistry (TR-Raman-SEC) has been used for the first time to obtain two different Raman spectra of one single analyte in the same experiment. This double detection has been accomplished thanks to the use of electrochemical surface enhanced Raman scattering (EC-SERS) and electrochemical surface oxidation enhanced Raman scattering (EC-SOERS) in the same experiment. These two Raman enhancement phenomena can provide a broad insight into the interaction between analyte and substrate surface when they are combined. To prove the possibilities of this methodology, a Raman spectroelectrochemistry study of uracil (U) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), two analytes with relevance in medicine and biochemistry, have been performed. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations has been carried out to shed more light on the interaction of these molecules with silver substrates in acidic media.Ministerio de Economía, y Competitividad (Grant CTQ2017–83935-R-AEI/FEDERUE), Junta de Castilla y León (Grant BU297P18, Grant BU087G19, and Grant BU263P18) and Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (Grant RED2018–102412-T and Grant PID2019–111215RB-I00).

Coulomb dissociation of N 20,21
Neutron-rich light nuclei and their reactions play an important role in the creation of chemical elements. Here, data from a Coulomb dissociation experiment on N20,21 are reported. Relativistic N20,21 ions impinged on a lead target and the Coulomb dissociation cross section was determined in a kinematically complete experiment. Using the detailed balance theorem, the N19(n,γ)N20 and N20(n,γ)N21 excitation functions and thermonuclear reaction rates have been determined. The N19(n,γ)N20 rate is up to a factor of 5 higher at
