French foreign policy towards Poland (1989-1993) by Dangelmayer, AM

“…While some scholars, such as Ayache, have analysed French policy approaches towards Central and Eastern Europe in general during this period, none have focused on French foreign policy towards Poland in particular. Poland has also been chosen for this analysis of French foreign policy towards a Central Eastern European state after the Cold War, by virtue of its geopolitical and geostrategic position as a comparatively strong middle power in Central Eastern Europe and because it had been a traditional ally of France in political, economic and cultural fields.…”

Curvature-regulated lipid membrane softening of nano-vesicles by Chng, Choon-Peng, Sadovsky, Yoel, Hsia, K. Jimmy, Huang, Changjin

“…Understanding the interplay between vesicle size and stiffness is critical to both the understanding of the biological functions of natural nano-vesicles and the optimization of nano-vesicle-based diagnostics and therapeutics. It has been predicted that, when vesicle size is comparable to its membrane thickness, the effective bending stiffness of the vesicle increases dramatically due to both the entropic effect as a result of reduced thermal undulation and the nonlinear curvature elasticity effect. …”
