Influence of Nonpolar Amino Acids on Phase Transitions of Atmospheric Aerosol Particles

Abstract The fate of aerosol particles in the atmosphere depends, in part, on their composition, morphology, and phase transitions. Studies of aerosol phase transitions have focused on aerosol particles with organic compounds consisting of C, H, and O atoms, although a substantia...

Structure and Solvent Effects on Nonconventional Fluorescence in Choline–Carboxylic Acid Ionic Liquids Hybrid Solvents

Abstract The molecular parameters that influence emissive-state formation and excited-state relaxation in nonconventional fluorophores remain poorly understood. Here, we use structurally related choline–carboxylic acid ionic liquids (ILs) derived from valeric acid (CAVA), levulin...

The Steklov Spectrum of Convex Polygonal Domains II: Investigating Spectral Determination

Abstract The extent to which the geometry of an object is determined by some associated spectral data is a longstanding problem. We investigate this problem in the context of the Steklov spectrum, focusing on convex polygons. We prove that almost all triangles are uniquely determ...
