The effects of additions of low-molecular-mass salts on the properties of aqueous lysozyme solutions are examined by using the cloud-point temperature, Tcloud, measurements. Mixtures of protein, buffer, and simple salt in ...

How much fuel remained inside the Chornobyl Unit 4 after the accident? What is the scale of radionuclide emission in the environment? Till now these questions excite the scientific community of the world. The critical analysis ...

The analytical solution of the Mean Spherical Approximation for a quite general class of interactions is always a function of a reduced set of scaling matrices Γχ. We extend this result to systems with multipolar ...

We study the scaling laws of diffusion in two-dimensional media with long-range correlated disorder through exact enumeration of random walks. The disordered medium is modelled by percolation clusters with correlations ...

Here, of great interest to us is a quantitative study of the scattering properties from ramified polymeric systems of arbitrary topology. We consider three types of systems, namely ramified polymers in solution, ramified ...

Recent important results are briefly presented concerning the screening of high-Z impurities in colloidal plasmas. The review focuses on the phenomenon of nonlinear screening and its effects on the structure of ...

We propose an extension of the second-order Barker-Henderson perturbation theory for polydisperse hard-sphere multi-Morse mixture. To verify the accuracy of the theory, we compare its predictions for the limiting case of ...

Selective adsorption from binary polymer mixtures on a crystalline surface is studied in terms of the lattice gas model in conjunction with the results of the association theory. An interplay of the selectivity and the ...

We present a theoretical study of the possibility of optical singularity birth in a wave front of a laser beam passing through a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell. At intensities below some threshold ...

Recent progress is reviewed in the understanding, and computation, of self-assembly in block copolymers and in biological lipids, both neutral and charged.
