Cholesterol Alters the Phase Separation in Model Membranes Containing hBest1 by Pavel Videv, Kirilka Mladenova, Tonya D. Andreeva, Jong Hun Park, Veselina Moskova-Doumanova, Svetla D. Petrova, Jordan A. Doumanov

“…The interactions between hBest1 and plasma membrane lipids (cholesterol (Chol), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and sphingomyelin (SM)) determine its lateral organization and surface dynamics, i.e., their miscibility or phase separation. Using the surface pressure/mean molecular area (π/A) isotherms, hysteresis and compressibility moduli (C_s⁻¹) of hBest1/POPC/Chol and hBest1/SM/Chol composite Langmuir monolayers, we established that the films are in an LE (liquid-expanded) or LE-LC (liquid-condensed) state, the components are well-mixed and the Ca²⁺ ions have a condensing effect on the surface molecular organization. …”

Impact of precipitation mass sinks on midlatitude storms in idealized simulations across a wide range of climates by T. H. Abbott, P. A. O'Gorman

“…However, we find that a 10-fold exaggeration of mass sources and sinks is sufficient to produce more intense midlatitude weather extremes and increase surface pressure variance. This result is consistent with theoretical potential vorticity analysis, which suggests that the dynamical effects of mass sources and sinks are much smaller than the dynamical effects of accompanying latent heating unless mass sinks are artificially amplified by at least a factor of 10. …”

Modelling of non-Newtonian starved thermal-elastohydrodynamic lubrication of heterogeneous materials in impact motion by Bai, Xueyu, Dong, Qingbing, Zheng, Han, Zhou, Kun

“…The results imply that the inclusion disturbs the subsurface stress field and affects the dynamic response of the contact system when the surface pressure is high. The impact energy is the decisive factor for the stress peak, maximum hydrodynamic force, and restitution coefficient, while the dynamic response during the early approaching process is controlled by the drop height.…”

Analysis of environmental condition and convective storm evolution of a thunderstorm gale event under cold vortex in Hebei by Xiaoliang YANG, Min YANG, Linxue LONG, Jingyi AI

“…After the echo intensity of the squall line is decreased, the combined effect of the cold pool density flow, the downward momentum transportation and the allobaric wind can still cause surface gale. (3) The fact that high wind speed core exceeding 30 m·s-1 in the radar radial velocities at the low elevation angle corresponded to the hourly positive surface pressure change of over 5 hPa, and the descending velocity of 7-10 m·s-1 below 5 km followed by the strong northwest wind below 1 km in the wind profiler radar product can be used as a reference indicator for the 0-2 h nowcasting and warning of the thunderstorm gale above level 8 on the ground.…”
