Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

Cholesterol plays an essential role in biological membranes and is crucial for maintaining their stability and functionality. In addition to biological membranes, cholesterol is also used in various synthetic lipid-based structures such as liposomes, proteoliposomes, and nanodiscs. Cholesterol regulates membrane properties by influencing the density of lipids, phase separation into liquid-ordered (Lo) and liquid-disordered (Ld) areas, and stability of protein-membrane interactions. For planar bilayers, cholesterol thickens the membrane, decreases permeability, and brings lipids into well-ordered domains, thereby increasing membrane rigidity by condensing lipid packing, while maintaining lateral lipid mobility in disordered regions to preserve overall membrane fluidity. It modulates membrane …

Thinking About Complexity In Latin America: Contributions Of Neutrosophy In Dialogue With Edgar Morin, Noel Batista-Hernández, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vázquez, Alenna Rosa Batista-Barallobre

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Smarandache’s neutrosophic logic—and its broader philosophical umbrella of MultiAlism, which insists that any assertion must be considered together with its neutral and anti-assertive counterparts—offers powerful methodological tools to operationalize Edgar Morin’s complexity thinking. While Morin contributes the principles of dialogic, recursiveness and the hologrammatic approach, his continental framework can be difficult to apply empirically. Neutrosophy and MultiAlism formalize contradiction, uncertainty and multidimensionality, thereby bridging theory and practice. In Latin America, where complexity thinking is widely adopted to address realities marked by inequality and instability, this integration enables rigorous modelling of non-linear phenomena. Applications such as Neutrosophic QCA (NsQCA), Neutrosophic Cognitive …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Purpose of the study: To measure country risks for foreign direct investments by assessing a neutrosoph-ic PESTEL-SWOT. Design/methodology/approach: The PESTEL assessment includes political, econom-ic, social, technological, environmental, and legal components while SWOT composes strengths, weak-nesses, opportunities, and threats. In uncertain settings, a neutrosophic PESTEL-SWOT was generated. A survey of experts' data corresponding to qualitative and quantitative determinations was assessed through genuine mathematic techniques and an integrated PESTEL and neutrosophic SWOT to deter-mine risk probability within a Latin America focus. Findings: The induced PESTEL-SWOT model measures country risks with a 70% efficiency rate to forecast certain outcomes for foreign direct invest-ments …
