Stimuli-responsive polymer-grafted lipid-based complex fluids as organized media for supramolecular photochemistry (open access)

Stimuli-responsive polymer-grafted lipid-based complex fluids as organized media for supramolecular photochemistry

Recent studies involving the use of micelles, reverse micelles, and microemulsions as organized microheterogeneous media for effecting photochemical transformations have led to growing recognition that the nature of the reaction medium (i.e., microenvironment) may strongly influence the course and efficiency of photoinduced electron transfer. Of particular interest in photochemical energy conversion research is the study of such effects in natural photosynthesis, the process whereby plants and photosynthetic bacteria convert light into chemical energy. The primary process in photosynthesis occurs in trasmembrane pigment-protein complexes called reaction centers (RCs), where following the absorption of light, primary charge separation occurs. This electrochemical energy is stored, and the initial charge separation used to drive all subsequent electron and proton transfer reactions in photosynthesis. One area of current research interest is the determination of the effect of conformational changes in detergent-solubilized RCs on electron transfer. In this report, the authors consider a related issue: the introduction of RCs into biomembrane mimetics and its impact on protein conformation, orientation, and function. As a medium for these studies, they have employed a recently developed stimulus-responsive complex fluid (smart material) that possesses the ability to respond to an environmental change/external stimulus on a molecular level and amplify it …

A survey of packages for large linear systems (open access)

A survey of packages for large linear systems

This paper evaluates portable software packages for the iterative solution of very large sparse linear systems on parallel architectures. While we cannot hope to tell individual users which package will best suit their needs, we do hope that our systematic evaluation provides essential unbiased information about the packages and the evaluation process may serve as an example on how to evaluate these packages. The information contained here include feature comparisons, usability evaluations and performance characterizations. This review is primarily focused on self-contained packages that can be easily integrated into an existing program and are capable of computing solutions to very large sparse linear systems of equations. More specifically, it concentrates on portable parallel linear system solution packages that provide iterative solution schemes and related preconditioning schemes because iterative methods are more frequently used than competing schemes such as direct methods. The eight packages evaluated are: Aztec, BlockSolve,ISIS++, LINSOL, P-SPARSLIB, PARASOL, PETSc, and PINEAPL. Among the eight portable parallel iterative linear system solvers reviewed, we recommend PETSc and Aztec for most application programmers because they have well designed user interface, extensive documentation and very responsive user support. Both PETSc and Aztec are written in the C language and are callable from …
