We investigate by molecular dynamics simulations a continuous isotropic core-softened potential with attractive well in three dimensions, introduced by Franzese [J. Mol. Liq. 136, 267 (2007)], that displays liquid-liquid coexistence with a critical point and waterlike density anomaly. Besides the thermodynamic anomalies, here we find diffusion and structural anomalies. The anomalies, not observed in the discrete version of this model, occur with the same hierarchy that characterizes water. We discuss the differences in the anomalous behavior of the continuous and the discrete model in the framework of the excess entropy, calculated within the pair correlation approximation.

sp. is a yellowish Gram-negative bacterium that is usually characterized by high concentrations of sphingophospholipids as lipid components. As microbial enzymes have been in high demand in industrial fields in the past few decades, this study hopes to provide significant information on lipase activities of sp.

Purpose: Given that a pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important prognostic factor, evaluating pretreatment imaging findings is important. Outcomes for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) vary with the histological classification, indicating that this classification is clinically significant. In this study, we focus on the most common histological subtype of TNBC, invasive carcinoma of no special type (NST), to evaluate whether intramammary edema (intra-E) and intratumoral necrosis (intra-N) on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2WI) is a useful predictor of pCR.

We use molecular dynamics simulations to compare and contrast the liquid-state anomalies in the Stillinger-Weber models of monatomic water (mW), silicon (Si), and germanium (Ge) over a fairly wide range of temperatures and densities. The relationships between structure, entropy, and mobility, as well as the extent of the regions of anomalous behavior, are discussed as a function of the degree of tetrahedrality. We map out the cascade of density, structural, pair entropy, excess entropy, viscosity, and diffusivity anomalies for these three liquids.

We study via molecular-dynamics simulations the thermodynamics of an anomalous fluid confined in a slit pore with one wall structured and attractive and another unstructured and repulsive. We find that the phase diagram of the homogeneous part of the confined fluid is shifted to higher temperatures, densities, and pressures with respect to the bulk, but it can be rescaled on the bulk case. We calculate a moderate increase of mobility of the homogeneous confined fluid that we interpret as a consequence of the layering due to confinement and the collective modes due to long-range correlations.
