description: Abstract: This work is involved  inorganic impurity profile in drugs and in biopharmaceuticals : according FDA and EMA for chemical Drugs  are Adopted theesholds, below this value they not require identification as mandatory. In order To eliminate pirogen In the  production of WIFI water (for injiectable)  are used also activate carbon filter and FDA consider  this product as  a possible  source of inorganic impurity. But for Injectable water production  to test the  quality is  required  Conductivity measure  and  Toc total organic carbon assay. In this way WIFI water  can be considerdc safe because  with this analisys it is possible to exclude both   inorganic and organic impurity. In biopharmaceutical purification  steps are used also  composite material filter (some producer use activated charcoal) and this materials  can in teory exfoliate graphite and  graphene in mechanical way. (Graphene is a good conductor of elettricity and it is classify as inorganic.) In the final vials of biopharmaceuticals is not requested conductivity test. For chemical drugs   there are regulatory  requirement  for  global impurity :   if  the test  show results below the fixed  thresholds no more action is required. (no needed identification) , genotoxicity and cancergenicity evalutation are  also performed. For biotech product there are not  fixed limits for all inorganic molecule (only suggested), instead  fixed for elemental impurities and  residual solvents : regulatory rules report a responsability of the producer for actions. There are guideline ICH for preclinical study of mutagenicity and cancerogenicity.

Aim of this work is to analyze the conductivity and TOC testing role  for WIFI water production  and its meaning in PAT  and to discuss about the need to verify also below thresholds adopted or suggested  for molecule like graphene for the drugs substantie produced. In this study  are reported various commercial products ,  but it is not intent of the authors to put in relationship the  profile of impurity of the final product using this  with any toxicological aspects :  this are only reported for a pure Material science purpose.

The environmental benefits and impacts of Red Butte Garden on Reb Butte creek: a case study of sustainable landscape management
Creators: name: Magdol, Zachary E.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015

description: Red Butte Garden is located on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, UT. It is a nonprofit arboretum and botanical garden. Red Butte Creek runs through the Garden as it transitions from a mainly undeveloped to an urbanized watershed. This study investigates some of the environmental benefits and impacts of the Garden on Red Butte Creek. In late August 2013, riparian Box elder (Acer negundo) foliage samples were collected upstream, downstream, and within the Garden. The natural abundance of total leaf nitrogen isotope ratio was determined to assess nitrogen (N) sources and extent of fertilizer influence downstream. Red Butte Creek water was sampled biweekly from September through December 2013 (total of 7 sampling events) upstream, downstream, and within the Garden. Water samples were analyzed for ammonium, nitrate, chloride, orthophosphate, and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations as well as temperature and pH. Total suspended solids (TSS) was measured in Red Butte Creek upstream, downstream, and within the Garden at two flow rates, 0.8 and 1.1 cfs. The mean total leaf nitrogen 𝛿15N downstream (1.4 ‰) of the Garden is significantly (p=0.03) higher than the upstream mean (-0.1 ‰). Leaf 𝛿15N in the Garden ranged from -0.2 to 6.7 ‰ (μ=2.7 ‰) and is significantly higher than upstream (p=0.02). The mean C:N ratio of leaves upstream, downstream, and within the Garden is 28.8, 20.0, and 20.7, respectively. Both the Garden and downstream leaves are significantly higher than upstream (p≤0.05). There was no statistical difference between mean upstream and downstream ammonium (p=0.95) and nitrate (p=0.32) concentrations. Orthophosphate was below the laboratory reporting limit (0.5 mg/l) for every sample. Average chloride concentrations were slightly higher downstream (14.43 mg/l upstream and 14.62 mg/l downstream) though not significantly (p=0.59). TSS concentrations in Red Butte Creek upstream, downstream, and within the Garden were measured three times throughout this experiment. The average TSS concentration upstream, downstream, and within the Garden is 4.33, 17.47, and 13.35 mg/l, respectively.The results indicate 15N enrichment in Garden and downstream leaves which is likely caused by the use of organic fertilizer, fish activity, or net N losses. The leaf C:N is higher within the Garden and downstream than upstream, but the source of this increased N cannot be directly associated with Garden activity because of the multiple nonpoint contributors (e.g., urbanization). Ammonium and nitrate concentrations up- and downstream show no change in stream water quality. Overall, the Garden has little impact to Red Butte Creek and is an example of sustainable landscape management.

Accepting Hardship, Excepting Hardship: Understandings of adversity and aid in life stories from a Tamil-Vedda village in Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Graham, Emily
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research interrogates understandings of hardship and help in the context of a Tamil-Vedda fishing village in east coast Sri Lanka. Enduring multiple adversities, including civil war, tsunami, and structural violence, has pushed people, particularly the indigenous population, into a precarious position. The region has also received significant aid. Based on seven months of ethnographic fieldwork, my findings suggest that for villagers, experiencing chronic crisis has normalized adversity, while aid givers view adversity as exceptional. I argue for the importance of mutual understandings in aid relationships, and suggest that this can be achieved by selecting and empowering appropriate aid intermediaries.

Do you have reasons for your reasons? An attempt to make nihilism an attractive alternative to theories of practical reason
Creators: name: Stoehr, Tyler Steven
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Practical reason
Nihilism

description: During the latter half of the 20th century the number of theories being defended in the  field of practical reason has proliferated dramatically. This proliferation, however, threatens to  undermine the justificatory aim of practical reason, for if these different theories yield different  practical inferences, then we seem to be in a dilemma: we have to either give reasons for our  reasons, or accept that there aren't any such reasons, which would render our actions (even if they  were made after some sort of rational deliberation) completely arbitrary. This thesis argues that  currently in the field of practical reason there isn't any method or set form of argumentation aimed  at providing reasons for our reasons, and that therefore nihilism, or the view that we don't have  good reasons for doing what we do, seems to be the best attitude to take regarding theories of  practical reason and human agency. This conclusion is then defended against three objections that  stem from the views of J. David Velleman, Christine M. Korsgaard, and John McDowell.

Testing the relative contributions of autobiographical overgenerality and instruction neglect to scores on the autobiographical memory test
Creators: name: McCowin, Steven Edward
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Autobiographical memory test
Autobiographical over-generality
Instruction neglect

description: It has been reported that persons suffering from depression tend to have difficulty retrieving autobiographical memories of events that occurred on a single day in their lives (e.g., "Last Tuesday night in the Student Union"), and tend instead to retrieve memories  that encompass a category of events over extended time periods (e.g., "I used to go to the Student Union a lot."). However, the instrument with which this phenomenon is  generally measured - the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) - appears to confound the effects of at least two separate underlying processes: (1) the inability or  unwillingness of depressed persons to remember and comply with the AMT's instruction to retrieve only single-day memories (instruction neglect), and (2) the tendency of depressed persons to have a preponderance of (or easier access to) autobiographical memories that conflate extended time periods and/or categories of events, and to have fewer (or more difficult access to) autobiographical memories of single-day events  (autobiographical overgenerality). There are reasons to suppose that both of these processes may be associated with depression and that they both contribute to, and are  confounded in, scores on the AMT. This dissertation project employed two different versions of the AMT in an attempt to dissociate these two processes. However, the scores on neither of these tests correlated with measures of depression, depressive rumination, or  executive dysfunction. Given the power of this study, these null results are partially interpretable, and a plausible explanation there for is that scores on the standard version of the AMT are driven largely by instruction neglect, but the design of this study  inadvertently prevented the detection of that process.

The creation of the doubleday myth

description: In 1908, a Special Base Ball Commission determined that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. The Commission, established to resolve a long-standing debate regarding the origins of baseball, relied on evidence provided by James Sullivan, a secretary working at Spalding Sporting Goods, owned by former player Albert Spalding. Sullivan solicited information from former players and fans, edited the information, and presented it to the Commission. One person's allegation stood out above the rest; Abner Graves claimed that Abner Doubleday "invented" baseball sometime around 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. It was not true; baseball did not have an "inventor" and if it did, it was not Doubleday, who was at West Point during the time in question. Ever since the Commisson's decision, historians have attempted to remove any connection between baseball and Abner Doubleday. The Commission's process and decision, itself an episode in the history of baseball, has largely been treated by historians narrowly: mostly debunking the decision over and over. Even one hundred years later, many Americans believe the Doubleday Myth. In 1999, the documents Sullivan collected, previously believed to be burned in a fire, were donated to the Baseball Hall of Fame. This made available the entire process of the decision for analysis. Historians have used this information to gain additional information on the early history of the game, and to further analyze the circumstances surrounding the creation myth. This paper attempts to analyze the motives of the decision. The documents show how much patriotism was involved and how seriously the men involved in the debate took the issue. This persistent debate was settled at a time when America was flexing its muscles on the world stage and spreading its gospel. Baseball, which was part of that gospel, had already sent its own missionaries to the world twice. Spalding, baseball's greatest missionary, was involved both times. This paper will utilize the Commission documents and extensive scrapbooks in the Albert Spalding Collection to show that to the men involved in the debate, their patriotism and masculinity were at stake, and winning the debate became as important as any game.

Kinetics of thermal dissolution of a Utah bituminous coal using 1,2,3,4 tetrahydronaphthalene
Creators: name: Charlot, Larry Arthur
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Bituminous coal

description: This work describes the extraction of a Utah bituminous  coal using twenty-six organic solvents and in particular the dissolution of this coal in 1,2,3,4- tetrahydronaphthalene (tetralin). A brief literature survey is included which serves to indicate the relation of coal to solvent for several extractions.  Particular attention was paid to the static dissolution  of the coal in tetralin over a temperature range of 96° to  350°C. Kinetics for this system was expressed by a velocity equation which seemed to fit the observed data fairly well over a time period of 30 to 500 minutes. From the kinetic data, it is shown that a two-stage mechanism for this static system is preferred. An Arrhenius activation energy for the low temperature stage (96° to approximately 250°C) was found to be 7.0 Kcal. per mole which can be compared to the energy of a diffusion process in a liquid media. In the high temperature region (approximately 250° to 350°C), a value of 19 Kcal. per mole was found for the Arrhenius activation energy. This value can be compared to the energy for a thermal dissociation or dissolution process.

Population diversity

description: Throughout its history, Ogden City has had a very diverse  and unique community when compared with the rest of  Utah. The introduction of the railroad into the city brought  an explosion of growth and attracted many people not of  the previously dominant LDS community. With this influx  of people came an "us and them" attitude found anywhere  from business to politics in the community, but the different  groups found common ground in their concern for the  success of the city and in the railroad that shaped the city.  The decline of the railroad caused the industries in Ogden  to slowly close down which resulted in many people leaving  the community. These gaps were later filled by immigrants  new to the community further diversifying the city. For  example, in the last thirty years, the city has only grown by  a few thousand people, while the Hispanic population has  increased four times what it was.

Geochemical prospecting, Utah

description: The gilsonite and ozokerite deposits of the Unita Basin, Utah, were investigated geochemically. Soil samples were collected along traverses across productive veins in several areas. These soil samples were analysed for gilsonite and ozokerite. The gilsonite and ozokerite content of the soil samples was related to vein proximity. The veins investigated were the Cowboy vein, the Chepetta lode, the Carbon lode, the Rainbow vein, the Pariette vein, and the Soldier Summit ozokerite deposit. Three laboratory procedures were developed to separate gilsonite from the soil samples. All were based on the difference in specific gravity between gilsonite, which has a specific gravity of 1.04, and soil fraction, which has a specific gravity of about 2.0 - 2.6. In one procedure tetrabromoethane in benzene was the heavy liquid medium. In the other procedure carbon tetrachloride was the heavy liquid medium. In each of these procedures, the gilsonite was floated. In the third procedure, the gilsonite was separated from the soil by panning. In each procedure the gilsonite fraction was weighed, and the gilsonite content of each sample was expressed as parts gilsonite per million parts of sample by weight. The precision of the procedures was determined by replicate analyses. The standard deviation of the derived result in the calculation for PPM gilsonite is +-16.6%. Geochemical anomalies were recognized in each instance. Background values ranged from 200 PPM to 1,000 PPM. Anomalies ranged from 2,910 PPM to 264,000 PPM, and the contrast raged from 16 t0 545. In addition to geochemical anomalies disclosed over each vein, several anomalies at a distance from known veins were observed.   These anomalies may reflect covered veins. Gilsonite content and dispersion halos surrounding the veins are due to weathering and erosion of gilsonite veins.
Evaluation of double-moment representation of war-rain and ice hydrometeors in bulk microphysical parameterization

Numerical weather prediction

description: The influence of double-moment representations of warm-rain and ice hydrometeors on the numerical simulations of a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) has been investigated. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to examine the sensitivity of numerical simulations of a MCS to three different microphysical schemes, including the WRF single-moment 6 -class (WSM6 ), WRF double-moment 6 -class (WDM6 ), and Morrison double-moment (MORR) schemes. Simulations are validated with surface Mesonet, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Stage IV rainfall dataset, Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD), and University of North Dakota (UND)-Citation aircraft observations. A cloud classification algorithm is also applied for evaluating the simulated MCS structures. It is found that the simulated structure, lifecycle, cloud coverage, precipitation, and microphysical properties of the convective systems, as well as their associated cold pools, are sensitive to microphysical schemes. Compared with the NCEP Stage IV rainfall and NEXRAD observations, the WDM6 simulation produces the structure and extent of the MCS very well, while WSM6 produces a less organized convection structure with a shorter lifetime. Both simulations heavily underestimate the precipitation amount and the radar echo top and have unrealistic cloud component ratios. With MORR schemes, the model performs well in predicting the lifetime, cloud coverage, echo top, and precipitation. The differences in the convection properties among the simulations occur mainly because the double-moment representations of warm-rain and ice hydrometeors have a strong influence on convective cloud properties that determine the hydrometeor drag and cold pool characteristics, in terms of intensity, size, and depth. In contrast, the comparison between simulated microphysical properties and UND-Citation observations illustrates that double-moment representations of ice hydrometeors (MORR) do not improve the prediction of the ice hydrometeor properties, suggesting that uncertainties in microphysical schemes could still be a productive area of future research.

Constructions of engenderment: the changing definitions of the feminine ideal in iconic twentieth century representations of Indian women
Creators: name: McDonald, Caitlin Gaye

Subjects: Feminine
Ideal

Women

description: As both historical and contemporary figures, South Asian women are expected to represent somewhat contradictory symbols. Modesty and virtue are held, above all, as characteristics of utmost importance in a wife, mother, and daughter, who can also be a powerful, nationalistic, goddess-like ideal. This ideal channels shakti: a sacred female energy which empowers women to defend tradition, family, and the nation. How do women in a rapidly developing India reconcile the expectations of the traditional ideal with modern standards? In Indian literature, film, and the media, we still see a confusion, for both men and women, of how women are to be defined - as individuals or symbols. We see this reflection as a widespread theme in modern Indian issues, not just as a question of women's rights, but as an interpretation of the construction of gender itself. In exploring three iconic representations of women across genres in the 20th century, I assert that continually re-examining particularly influential female symbols in India is essential to understanding the culture surrounding modern Indian women. The understanding of culture is constantly changing, evolving, and influencing new definitions of Indian femininity. The first, a fictional character in the novel The Home and the World, by Rabindranath Tagore, is important for its depiction of a woman's journey from the conservative identity she had defined as a girl, to the radical identity of a powerful national figure. Second, the 1957 film Mother India, personifies the female ideal into the main character, reasserting Hindu values and traditional gender roles within the 20th century framework of nationalism. Finally, I will examine the controversy surrounding the death of Roop Kanwar, a young woman who died while burning on her husband's funeral pyre in an act known as sati: a striking example of past ideals colliding with the modern world. These iconic representations, fictional and nonfictional, from different periods of history, share themes of how female individuals can transform definitions of womanhood. In the context of these examples, we better understand how women in India today struggle to adapt to modern culture, while trying to defend Indian traditional values.

description: In the present investigation the uptake and prolonged retention of adenine-8-C-14 by lymphatic tissue of mice was demonstrated.  The experiments bring support to the idea that the nucleic acids of dead lymphocytes are re-utilized during heteroplastic lymphocytopoiesis.  Tumor tissue has been shown to retain less of the radioactive labeled nucleic acids than normal tissue, and this is interpreted as an impairment of the reticulo-endothelial system involved in heteroplastic lymphocytopoiesis.  Cortisol causes a depletion of nucleic acids as well as an inhibition of the biosynthesis of nucleic acids in the intact animal.  Conclusive evidence has therefore been presented in support of earlier histological findings that cortisol not only destroys cells but also inhibits cell proliferation.  ACTH in the intact animal has an effect similar to cortisol, probably due to its known function as an adrenal cortical stimulating agent.  Adrenalectomy does not cause a general increase in nucleic acid biosynthesis in the lymphatic tissue.  In fact, our findings imply that the absence of the adrenals will cause an inhibition particularly of the RNA biosynthesis.  It is concluded that adrenal cortical hormones might stimulate certain aspects of nucleic acid metabolism.  In the absence of the adrenals this stimulatory effect of cortical hormones was more conclusively demonstrated.  Cortisol in the adrenalectomized animals inhibits the biosynthesis of DNA in lymph node and thymus but will not markedly stimulate the adenine-8-C-14 incorporation by RNA of these tissues as well as that by both nucleic acids of the spleen.  This is considered as conclusive evidence that adrenal cortical hormones do stimulate certain aspects of nucleic acid biosynthesis.  A profound extra-adrenal effect of ACTH was demonstrated in adrenalectomized animals.  ACTH will markedly stimulate biosynthesis of both RNA and DNA in all lymphatic tissues studied.  Glycine-C-14 was not similarly affect by ACTH in the adrenalectomized animal.  Support for the idea that glycine follows a different pathway of incorporation than that of adenine was therefore obtained.  In the tumor bearing animals cortisol has a less profound effect that in the normal intact animals.  Cortisol inhibited the biosynthesis of RNA in the tumor but clearly enhanced the biosynthesis in both nucleic acids in spleen and thymus.  It is speculated that since these effects resemble the effects of cortisol in adrenalextomized animals, the tumor bearing animal might have an adrenal cortical insufficiency.  The implications of these findings and interpretations have been further discussed.

Hip hop youth culture in Salt Lake City: essentialism, resistance, and racial identity
Creators: name: Davis, Glenn
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Dance

description: This thesis considers the social dynamics of race (a concept that signifies and symbolizes social conflicts and interests by referring to different types of human bodies) as observed among young participants in Salt Lake City's hip hop scene. The author used participant observation techniques to observe the hip hop scene and employed Michael Omi and Howard Winant's concept of racial formation (the sociohistorical  process by which racial categories are created, inhabited, transformed, and destroyed) to  characterize the racial project (a simultaneous interpretation, representation, or explanation of racial dynamics, and an effort to reorganize and redistribute resources along particular racial lines) enacted by the hip hoppers as nonracist because of its refusal of essentialist (the assumption that individual characteristics reflect a consistent racial  essence) racial conception. The thesis recounts the discovery that hip hop culture is a complex, hybrid form more predicated upon racial diversity and inclusion than racial exclusion, because it coalesces African American, Afro-Caribbean, Puerto ftican, Latino, Anglo, and other cultural traditions. Perhaps because it includes black cultural resistance to white domination, the popularity of hip hop culture among youth of many backgrounds  has rarely been considered or explained systematically outside the assumption that the  involvement of whites in hip hop amounts, a priori, to recuperation of black cultural resistance. The thesis challenges this assumption through its finding that even among white hip hoppers in Salt Lake, the need to resist a dominant, white, cultural power center structures the choice to participate in an old school style hip hop scene.

description: The current study evaluated longitudinal mental health trajectories for 107 refugees resettled in Utah during 2011. The aims of this study were to: (1) identify a set of trajectory classes that reflect important variations in mental health experienced by refugees during the course of their first postresettlement year, (2) describe the characteristics of each identified trajectory class, and (3) determine significant pre and early postresettlement predictors of trajectory class membership. Mental health outcomes were measured monthly across the first postresettlement year using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL-25). Growth Mixture Modeling (GMM) was employed to extract a discrete number of latent trajectory classes from the study sample. Bivariate analyses and Multinomial Logistic Regressions were employed to predict trajectory class membership. Results suggested a 5-Class trajectory model. Significant predictor variables were identified and discussed within the context of theories of refugee adaptation as well as the broad coping and resilience literature. Implications for clinical practice, resettlement policy, and future research were also addressed.
Bioreducible Polymer-Mediated Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Ischemic Heart Disease

description: Coronary heart disease, especially myocardial infarction, is a serious and deadly disease that remains the number one cause of death in developed nations. While physicians have a wide array of drugs and tools at their disposal to treat myocardial infarction, there is a scarcity of drugs that effectively prevent the pathological remodeling of the left ventricle that occurs after acute infarction and greatly predisposes the patient to the risk of heart failure. This dissertation focuses on identifying nonviral, bioreducible polymer-based gene therapies to limit infarct expansion, prevent left ventricular remodeling, and retain heart function after myocardial infarction. Bioreducible polymers represent a major advancement in nonviral technology to transfect primary cells, with high efficiency, and low cytotoxicity. We first examined a combined gene/cell therapy-based strategy by implanting VEGF165-transfected primary skeletal myoblasts to the myocardium of infarcted rat hearts. The VEGF-expressing skeletal myoblasts acted as bioreactors, secreting proangiogenic VEGF and inducing new vessel formation in the infarcted hearts. This treatment strategy produced both global and regional improvements in the left ventricle, improving ejection fraction, decreasing cell death, and limiting left ventricular remodeling. A cationic polymer system utilizing arginine-grafted bioreducible polymer (ABP) was also used to efficiently mediate siRNA knockdown of BNIP3, a hypoxia-inducible iv proapoptotic protein. siRNA-mediated BNIP3 knockdown both in vitro and in vivo protected rat primary cardiomyocytes from hypoxic death. The inhibition of BNIP3 in acutely ischemic rat hearts resulted in improved retention of ejection fraction, decreased infarct formation, decreased cellular remodeling, and decreased left ventricular remodeling.

description: The Yaegl Aboriginal people of northern New South Wales, Australia, have used plants as medicines for centuries. Alphitonia excelsa leaves have been used topically by the Yaegl community to treat sores, wounds and skin infections, while Smilax australis leaves have been used as a blood cleanser and for diabetes. Biological testing aligned with the customary uses of these plants was conducted on the n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, n-butanol and water extracts of the plants. The ethyl acetate and n-hexane extracts of A. excelsa showed moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, while the dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and n-hexane partitions of S. australis showed good activity against S. aureus and S. pyogenes. The ethyl acetate and dichloromethane partitions of S. australis also showed promising antioxidant activity, and total phenolic, flavonoid and condensed tannin assays identified high phenolic and flavonoid content in these extracts. The extracts of A. excelsa and S. australis were also investigated, using a metabolomics approach, by high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and database searches. This tentatively identified known antioxidant and antibacterial phenols, flavonoids, terpenes and their derivatives. Most of the compounds have not been previously reported in these plants.

Dynamic behavior of biological membranes

description: Biological membranes are important structural units in the cell. Composed of a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins, most exploration of membranes has focused on the proteins. While proteins play a vital role in membrane function, the lipids themselves can behave in dynamic ways which affect membrane structure and function. Furthermore, the dynamic behavior of the lipids can affect and be affected by membrane geometry. A novel  fluid membrane model is developed in which two different types of lipids flow in a deforming membrane, modelled as a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold that resists bending. The two lipids behave like viscous Newtonian fluids whose motion is determined by realistic physical forces. By examining the stability of various shapes, it is shown that instability may result if the two lipids forming the membrane possess biophysical qualities, which cause them to respond dierently to membrane curvature. By means of numerical simulation of a simplied model, it is shown that this instability results in curvature induced phase separation. Applying the simplied model to the Golgi apparatus, it is hypothesized that curvature induced phase separation may occur in a Golgi cisterna, aiding in the process of protein sorting. In addition to flowing tangentially in the membrane, lipids also flip back and forth between the two leaflets in the bilayer. While traditionally assumed to occur very slowly, recent experiments have indicated that lipid flip-flop may occur rapidly. Two models are developed that explore the eect of rapid flip-flop on membrane geometry and the effect of a pH gradient on the distribution of charged lipids in the leafets of the  bilayer. By means of a stochastic model, it is shown that even the rapid flip-flop rates observed are unlikely to be signicant inducers of membrane curvature. By means of a nonlinear Poisson{Boltzmann model, it is shown that pH gradients are unlikely to be signicant inducers of bilayer asymmetry under physiological conditions.

description: The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) observed in metal nanostructures finds application in biosensing, optical communication technologies, and neuromorphic computing. There it enables the detection and transduction of dielectric environment changes in the vicinity of the metal nanostructure. Combining this principle with materials where the dielectric environment can be electrically modulated, it becomes possible to realize active optoelectronic plasmonic devices specifically designed for optical communication technologies. In this work, the use of an organic ferroelectric polymer to reversibly modulate the localized SPR (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) inducing a reversible spectral shift of the resonance is investigated. The proposed plasmonic modulator is based on a two‐terminal device composed of AuNPs deposited on a transparent conductive electrode, covered by a ferroelectric polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) with a metallic electrode on top also serving as the mirror. By applying a voltage bias between the two electrodes, an electric field is generated within the device, enabling precise control over the dielectric environment of the AuNPs and thereby modulating the LSPR. It is demonstrated that this concept can be easily fabricated, potentially flexible, lightweight, and robust, making it an attractive choice for optical communication devices, particularly as a free space modulating retroreflector.
