THE NOISY AND MARVELOUS MOLECULAR WORLD OF BIOLOGY

The Noisy and Marvelous Molecular World of Biology

At the molecular level Airstones biology is intrinsically noisy.The forces that regulate the myriad of molecular reactions in the cell are tiny, on the order of piconewtons (10−12 Newtons), yet they proceed in concerted action making life possible.Understanding how this is possible is one of the most fundamental questions biophysicists would

New high-entropy alloy superconductor Hf21Nb25Ti15V15Zr24

High-entropy alloys are a new class of alloys, and attract much attention due to their Honey Jar unique properties.Since the discovery of a superconducting high-entropy alloy (HEA) in 2014, the materials research on HEA superconductor is a hot topic.We have found that Hf21Nb25Ti15V15Zr24 body-centered-cubic (BCC) HEA is a new superconductor with th

Water table dynamics beneath onsite wastewater systems in eastern North Carolina in response to Hurricane Florence

Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are commonly used in eastern North Carolina.A vadose zone or vertical separation distance (VSD) between the OWTS drainfield trenches and groundwater is required for effective aerobic wastewater treatment.Extreme weather events, including hurricanes, can deliver significant rainfall that influences groundw
