PoreWalker: a novel tool for the identification and characterization of channels in transmembrane proteins from their three-dimensional structure. by Marialuisa Pellegrini-Calace, Tim Maiwald, Janet M Thornton

“…Therefore, computational methods which, given a set of 3D coordinates, can automatically identify and describe channels in transmembrane proteins are key tools to provide insights into how they function.Herein we present PoreWalker, a fully automated method, which detects and fully characterises channels in transmembrane proteins from their 3D structures. …”

A New Soil-Water Characteristic Curve Model for Unsaturated Loess Based on Wetting-Induced Pore Deformation by Yuwei Zhang, Zhanping Song, Xiaolin Weng, Yongli Xie

“…The existing SWCC models do not work accurately for evaluating loess, because they do not consider the pore deformation that is induced by wetting. The present study develops a new SWCC model for unsaturated loess. …”

Effects of Different Inhibitors on the Corrosion Mitigation of Steel Rebar Immersed in NaCl-Contaminated Concrete Pore Solution by Sang-Ho Min, Han-Seung Lee, Jitendra Kumar Singh

“…Various types of corrosion inhibitors are used to mitigate the corrosion of steel rebar in chloride-contaminated concrete; however, selecting the appropriate inhibitor and determining its optimal concentration remains a concern. Therefore, in the present study, three types of inhibitors—calcium nitrite (CN: Ca(NO₂)₂), N,N′-dimethyl ethanol amine (DMEA: (CH₃)₂NCH₂CH₂OH), and L-arginine (LA: C₆H₁₄N₄O₂) in three different concentrations, i.e., 0.3, 0.6 and 1.2 M—were compared with a control (without inhibitor, i.e., blank) sample to determine the optimum concentration of the inhibitor for corrosion resistance performance evaluation of reinforcement bars immersed in 0.3 M NaCl-contaminated concrete pore (NCCP) solution for various durations. …”
