Contribution of the Hydration Force to Vesicle Adhesion on Titanium Oxide by Jackman, Joshua A., Zan, Goh Haw, Zhao, Zhilei, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Herein, we investigated the influence of vesicle surface charge on vesicle adsorption onto titanium oxide and observed that electrostatic attraction is insufficient for vesicle rupture. Following this line of evidence, a continuum model based on the DLVO forces and a non-DLVO hydration force was applied to investigate the role of different interfacial forces in modulating the lipid–substrate interaction. …”

Hyperbolic volume estimates via train tracks by De Capua, A

“…However, we can apply their line of proof only after some manipulation of the splitting sequence: a rearrangement, changing the order the elementary moves are performed in, so that the ones producing Dehn twists are brought together; and then an untwisting, which suppresses the majority of these latter moves to give a new sequence, which does not end with the same track as before, but does not include any portion that is almost stationary in the pants graph. …”

Glorious autarky? Foreign resources and the British fiscal-military state, 1688-1815 by Graham, A

“…Easy access to these resources enabled ministers to retain a bare-bones military and naval establishments in peacetime and then, in wartime, to ‘surge’ the state by using off- the-shelf foreign military labour to hold the line while British forces were recruited. Relying upon cheap foreign money enabled the British state to hold down taxation and expensive borrowing. …”
