Molecular dynamics simulation of film water thickness and properties at different interfaces in partially saturated frozen soil systems by Shuting Ji, Sergio Andres Galindo Torres, Jinfeng Chen, Liang Lei, Ling Li

“…In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted to examine the freezing of a system containing ice, water, silica, and gas. The simulations revealed that as the temperature approaches the melting point, the air-water interface tends to possess a thicker layer of unfrozen water, characterized by a higher diffusion coefficient and lower viscosity. …”

Genetic polymorphism of modern common flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars developed at Russian breeding centers using SSR markers by T. A. Bazanov, I. V. Ushchapovskii, V. A. Lemesh, M. V. Bahdanava, A. V. Lahunovskaya

“…In the studied group of cultivars 53 alleles were identified: 15 of these appeared to be rare, including 11 unique ones. Each flax sample contained its specific set of alleles. Using the alphabetic code for SSR markers made it possible to develop genetic profiles for more precise genotyping of flax samples hardly distinguishable morphologically, thus providing an opportunity to effectuate genetic profiling for all flax cultivars listed in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in Russia. …”
