A picture of a biological membrane that includes compositional and phase heterogeneity is consistent with many observations on cells. Simons and van Meer pointed this out to explain the sorting of ...

It has become increasingly important for chemists and analysts to be able to test and determine the various components that may be present in mixtures, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to solve ...

The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

In quality control and chemistry, analytical samples are usually mixtures. Understanding the main compound’s assay and the number of impurities or other unwanted substances in the sample is essential ...

This paper proposes the use of outlier detection methods from robust statistics and copula goodness-of-fit tests to identify components of mixture copulas. We first consider simulated data samples in ...

At the heart of an internal combustion engine lies a series of cylinders, cylindrical chambers that house the fiery combustion process. These cylinders, arranged in various configurations such as ...
