FVPM numerical simulation of the effect of particle shape and elasticity on impact erosion

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh

The erosion of hydraulic machines by solid particle impacts is a widespread problem that leads to outage for expensive repairs, efficiency reduction, and cavitation enhancement. Numerical simulations can be used to study the phenomenon, provided they featu ...

Effect of Coordination Sphere Geometry of Copper Redox Mediators on Regeneration and Recombination Behavior in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Fabrizio Giordano, Marina Freitag, Yasemin Saygili, Marko Stojanovic

The recombination of injected electrons with oxidized redox species and regeneration behavior of copper redox mediators are investigated for four copper complexes, [Cu(dmby)2]2+/1+ (dmby = 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′- bipyridine), [Cu(tmby)2]2+/1+ (tmby = 4,4′,6,6′ ...

Efficient and Stable Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on a Tetradentate Copper(II/I) Redox Mediator

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Zerrin Yumak

The identification of an efficient and stable redox mediator is of paramount importance for commercialization of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Herein, we report a new class of copper complexes containing diamine-dipyridine tetradentate ligands (L1 = N ...

Geometrically Balanced Metal Detector Based on Optimized Frequencies and Spatial Phase Profile Responses to Discriminate Different Metal Rods Features

Yves Perriard, Christian Köchli, Chafic Abu Antoun

Inductive detection with double-balanced coils and a spatial phase profile were used to identify copper and steel rods in a composite target. The electromagnetic detection system was designed and validated using a dipole model. Simulations and experiments ...

Zinc and Copper Differentially Modulate Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing by -Secretase and Amyloid- Peptide Production

Patrick Fraering, Mitko Dimitrov, Hermeto Gerber

Recent evidence suggests involvement of biometal homeostasis in the pathological mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease (AD). For example, increased intracellular copper or zinc has been linked to a reduction in secreted levels of the AD-causing amyloid- peptid ...

Cobalt and/or copper complexes for use as hole transport layer dopants to improve optoelectronic or photoelectrochemical devices

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Fabrizio Giordano, Marina Freitag, Julian Burschka

This invention discloses a new class of dopants that allows easy tuning of the chem., phys., optical and/or electronic properties of the doping agent in order to carefully adapt it to the desired application, such as org. solar cells or solid state dye-sen ...

Copper-Catalyzed 1,2-Addition of alpha-Carbonyl Iodides to Alkynes

Xile Hu, Tao Xu

beta,gamma,-Unsaturated ketones are an important class of organic molecules. Herein, copper catalysis has been developed for the synthesis of --unsaturated ketones through 1,2-addition of -carbonyl iodides to alkynes. The reactions exhibit wide substrate s ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of apocupredoxins: insights into the formation and stabilization of copper sites under entatic control

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

Cupredoxins perform copper-mediated long-range electron transfer (ET) in biological systems. Their copper-binding sites have evolved to force copper ions into ET-competent systems with decreased reorganization energy, increased reduction potential, and a d ...

Linking toxicity and adaptive responses across the transcriptome, proteome, and phenotype of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii exposed to silver

Kristin Schirmer

Understanding mechanistic and cellular events underlying a toxicological outcome allows the prediction of impact of environmental stressors to organisms living in different habitats. A systems-based approach aids in characterizing molecular events, and the ...

A dimerization interface mediated by functionally critical residues creates interfacial disulfide bonds and copper sites in CueP

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata

CueP confers bacterial copper resistance in the periplasm, particularly under anaerobic conditions, through an unknown mechanism. The only available structure and limited solution data suggest that CueP forms noncovalent timers in solution, whereas sequenc ...

Bioavailable copper modulates oxidative phosphorylation and growth of tumors

Johan Auwerx, Douglas Hanahan, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Pénélope Andreux, Seiko Ishida

Copper is an essential trace element, the imbalances of which are associated with various pathological conditions, including cancer, albeit via largely undefined molecular and cellular mechanisms. Here we provide evidence that levels of bioavailable copper ...
