A distinct class of the biologically important subtilisin family of serine proteases functions exclusively within the cell and forms a major component of the bacilli degradome. However, the mode and mechanism of posttranslational regulation of intracellular protease activity are unknown. Here we describe the role play…

Magnetotransmission measurements in magnetic fields in the range $B=20$--60 T have been performed to probe the $H$- and $K$-point Landau level transitions in natural graphite. At the $H$ point, two series of transitions, whose energy evolves as $\sqrt{B}$, are observed. A reduced Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure model with o…

We present a three-dimensional phenomenological model for the magneto-mechanical behavior of magnetic shape memory materials such as Ni 2 MnGa . Moving from micromagnetic considerations, we advance to some thermodynamically consistent constitutive relations describing the magnetically-induced cubic-to-tetragonal marte…

Inelastic x-ray scattering in grazing angle geometry provides a novel tool for studying the surface and bulk lattice dynamics in a single experiment by varying the incidence angle around the critical angle of total reflection. At very small incidence angles (below the critical angle), it is possible to study the colle…

The post-perovskite (pPv) is the high-pressure phase of some highly distorted perovskites. The pPv phase of MgSi${O}_{3}$ stabilized under 125 GPa and 2000 K cannot be quenched to ambient pressure. In contrast, the pPv CaIr${O}_{3}$ can be synthesized under a modest pressure or even at ambient pressure. However, the p…

We study the reflection properties of squeezing devices based on transformation optics. An analytical expression for the angle-dependent reflection coefficient of a generic three-dimensional squeezer is derived. In contrast with previous studies, we find that there exist several conditions that guarantee no reflection…
