Marginally hydrophobic (mH) segments insufficient for membrane integration can be accommodated around the Sec61 channel. The mH-segments move to the lipid in a hydrophobicity-dependent way via a boundary site and also allow for insertion of the following TM segment, suggesting that mH-segments are accommodated at the membrane with lateral fluctuation.
To measure the moisture content of soil, we developed a method that measures the magnetic field generated when the primary magnetic field is exposed. Soil contains two different types of materials: water as a diamagnetic material and iron sand as a ferromagnetic material. Water shows a constant phase shift from the primary magnetic field as well as a frequency dependence of the magnetic field strength, and iron sand showed the opposite characteristics. Using these magnetic properties, a moisture content signal was extracted, even with interference of the iron sand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
