Temperature dependence of the proton kinetic energy in water between 5 and 673 K
Y. Finkelstein,Raymond Moreh +1 more
- 18 Mar 2014
TL;DR: In this paper, the proton mean kinetic energy (Ke(H) in water was calculated versus temperature at 5-673 K using the harmonic approximation and assuming decoupling between translation, rotation-libration, and internal vibrations.

The mechanism of monensin-mediated cation exchange based on real time measurements.
TL;DR: The analysis of the reactions reveals that the ionic selectivity of the monensin (H+ > Na+ > K+) is due to more than one term, and is derived from a large difference in the rates of cross membranal diffusivities (MoH > MoNa > MoK), which have never been detected before.

Determining the band gap and mean kinetic energy of atoms from reflection electron energy loss spectra.
TL;DR: Reflection electron energy loss spectra from some insulating materials taken at relatively high incoming electron energies are analyzed and a well-defined onset of inelastic excitations is observed from which one can infer the value of the band gap.
Quantum behavior of water nano-confined in beryl.
TL;DR: The proton mean kinetic energy, Ke(H), of water confined in nanocavities of beryl at 5 K was obtained by simulating the partial vibrational density of states from density functional theory based first-principles calculations, in remarkable agreement with the 5 K deep inelastic neutron scattering measured value.

Measuring the water content in freshly-deposited fingermarks.
Or Keisar,Yair Cohen,Y. Finkelstein,Natalie Kostirya,Roey Ben-David,Albert Danon,Ze'ev Porat,Joseph Almog +7 more
TL;DR: The measurements indicate the occurrence of a broad 20-70% water content in freshly-deposited fingermarks, unlike the traditional narrow-range values of 98-99% and the limiting value of 20wt.% suggested by Kent.
