Workshop on Arctic airmass transformations

Workshop on Arctic airmass transformations

A workshop organized by Gunilla Svensson, SU, and Felix Pithan, Alfred Wegener Institute, Germany, was held at MISU 6-9 November 2017. The theme of the workshop was how to improve the understanding of air mass transformations in the Arctic by observational and...
Origin of DNA-Induced Circular Dichroism in a Minor-Groove Binder

Origin of DNA-Induced Circular Dichroism in a Minor-Groove Binder

The DAPI molecule is a popular fluorescent stain for DNA visualization and quantitation, and is extensively used for studying the cellular nuclei under different environments and stresses. A recent report reveals that DAPI can be effectively used for constructing DNA...

Extended spin model in atomistic simulations of alloys

An extended atomistic spin model allowing for studies of the finite-temperature magnetic properties of alloys is proposed. The model is obtained by extending the Heisenberg Hamiltonian via a parametrization from a first-principles basis, interpolating from both the...
