[FeFe]-hydrogenase is an iron-sulfur protein that catalyzes the chemical reduction of protons into the H2 molecule [1]. This enzyme can be found in cyanobacteria and microalgae organisms. HydA1 enzyme of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas Rheinhardt is very efficient in reducing protons in water to molecular hydrogen, but it is very sensitive to dioxygen (O2), which irreversibly degrades the...
Emulsions are a major class of multiphase flows, crucial in industrial process (e.g. food and drug production) and ubiquitous in environmental flows (e.g. oil spilling in maritime environment). Already at volume fractions of few precents, the dispersed phase interacts with pre-existing turbulence created at large scale, yet the interaction between phases and the turbulent energy transport...
We address the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems subject to time-dependent round-trip protocols across quantum and classical (thermal) phase transitions.
They are realized by slowly changing one relevant parameter w across its critical point $w_c = 0$, linearly in time with a large time scale $t_s$ , from $w_i < 0$ to $w_f > 0$ and then back to $w_i < 0$, thus entailing...
Within each human cell, three types of RNA polymerases and a panoply of different types of transcription factors bind chromatin to simultaneously determine 3D chromosome structure and transcriptional programme. Experiments suggest that, in some cases, different types of proteins segregate to form specialised transcription factories, while in others they mix and gather together, binding the...
In a theory with superselections rules, a state can be represented by different density matrices. As a result, different von Neumann entropies can be associated with the same state. Motivated by a minimality property of the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix with respect to its possible decompositions into pure states, we give a purely algebraic definition of entropy for states of an...
Here a numerical framework for computing the vascular journey of microsized particles is presented. The incompressible Navier--Stokes equation is modeled through an incompressible BGK-Lattice Boltzmann scheme. The discrete Boltzmann equation is endowed with a forcing term accounting for the presence of immersed geometries. Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed on moving deformable or rigid...
