Oxygen is transported throughout the body by hemoglobin in red blood cells. While the oxygen affinity of blood is well understood and is routinely assessed in patients by pulse oximetry, variability at the single-cell level has not been…
Anemia is a prevalent hematological disorder that requires frequent hemoglobin monitoring for early diagnosis and effective management. Conventional hemoglobin assessment relies on invasive blood sampling, limiting its suitability for…
Infection control remains one of the most challenging tasks in wound care, due to growing antimicrobial resistance and ineffective infection diagnostic tools at the point-of-care. To integrate therapeutic wound dressings with wound…
We explore the dependence of a wide set of properties of monohydric alcohols on temperature by using the isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations. Namely, methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH) and 1-propanol (PrOH) alcohols are…
Recently, methanol was identified as a sensitive target system to probe variations of the proton-to-electron mass ratio $\mu$ [Jansen \emph{et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 100801 (2011)]. The high sensitivity of methanol originates…
We report the temperature, pressure and composition dependence of some basic properties of model liquid water-methanol mixtures. For this purpose the isobaric-isothermal molecular dynamics computer simulations are employed. Our principal…
Oxygen is released to living tissues via conformational changes of hemoglobin from R-state (oxyhemoglobin) to T-state (desoxyhemoglobin). The detailed mechanism of this process is not yet fully understood. We have carried out…
The effects of hydrogen incorporation into beta-Ga2O3 thin films have been investigated by chemical, electrical and optical characterization techniques. Hydrogen incorporation was achieved by remote plasma doping without any structural…
The evaporation of a binary sessile ethanol-water droplet on an inclined substrate is studied experimentally just below the critical sliding angles for different substrate temperatures. A customized goniometer equipped with a CMOS camera…
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism whose important role in development has been widely recognized. This epigenetic modification results in heritable changes in gene expression not encoded by the DNA sequence. The underlying…
Recently proposed new method "Ethanol as Internal Standard" for determination of volatile compounds in alcohol products by gas chromatography is investigated from different sides. Results of experimental study from three different…
The delicate balance between H-bonding and van der Waals interactions determine the stability,structure and chirality of many molecular and supramolecular aggregates weakly adsorbed on solid surfaces.Yet the inherent complexity of these…
We explore the effects of composition and temperature on the apparent molar volumes of species of water-methanol mixtures. Isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations are used with this purpose. Several combinations of models for…

Blood leukocytes can exhibit extensive morphological changes during their passage through small capillary vessels. The human monocytic THP-1 cell line was used to explore the metabolic dependence of these shape changes. Cells were aspirated…
Ethanol-water mixtures are a classic example of thermodynamic non-ideality, yet the structural origin of their pronounced anomalies, such as volume contraction and a large negative excess entropy, has remained a long-standing puzzle. Here,…
We report significant changes of optical conductivity in single layer graphene induced by mild oxygen plasma exposure, and explore the interplay between carrier doping, disorder, and many-body interactions from their signatures in the…
We have investigated the simultaneous absorption of near-infrared photons by pairs of neighboring molecules in liquid methanol. Simultaneous absorption by two OH-stretching modes is found to occur at an energy higher than the sum of the two…
We have investigated the hydrogen-bonded structures in liquid methanol and a 7:3 mole fraction aqueous solution using classical Molecular Dynamics simulations at 298K and ambient pressure. We find that, in contrast to recent predictions…
Alcoholism is one of the most common diseases in the world. This type of substance abuse leads to mental and physical dependence on ethanol-containing drinks. Alcoholism is accompanied by progressive degradation of the personality and…
