Adsorption data for CH 4 , C 2 H 6 , C 2 H 4 , H 2 , and N 2 on the zeolite 5A adsorbent (WR
Grace & Davision Co.) were obtained at 293 K, 303 K, and 313 K. The pressure range …

We give an extended review of recent numerical and analytical studies on semiflexible chains
near surfaces undertaken at Institut Charles Sadron (sometimes in collaboration) with a …

Single‐molecule studies in which a mechanical force is transmitted to the molecule of interest
and the molecular extension or position is monitored as a function of time are versatile …

We study the motion of a single stiff semiflexible filament of length S through an array of
topological obstacles. By means of scaling arguments and two-dimensional computer …

The kinetic properties of a semiflexible chain subject to an external force are investigated
using scaling arguments and computer simulations. By monitoring the mean square …

Stained end-grafted DNA molecules about 20 μ m long are scraped away and stretched out
by the spreading front of a bioadhesive vesicle. Tethered biotin ligands bind the vesicle …

Torsionally stressed DNA plays a critical role in genome organization and regulation. While
the effects of torsional stresses on naked DNA have been well studied, little is known about …

Helically coiled filaments are a frequent motif in nature. In situations commonly encountered
in experiments coiled helices are squeezed flat onto two-dimensional surfaces. Under such …

This PhD is devoted to the mechanics and statistical mechanics of biofilaments and their most
widespread model, the Worm-Like Chain (WLC) model, which, as it turns out, needs to be …

In order to optimize the performance of an adsorption column, the adsorption and regeneration
dynamic characteristics were studied for 20% methane and 80% hydrogen binary system …
