Kavli Prize Science Forum

That was among the conclusions of the 2012 Kavli Prize Science Forum in Oslo, Norway. Moderated by BBC News science correspondent Pallab Ghosh, the discussion also included an opening address by Prime Minister of Norway Jens Stoltenberg. When income grows, who gains? Bipartisan Policy Center. Structure, Dynamics, and Function of Aquaporins. The Art of Water Transport in Aquaporins Aquaporins are membrane water channels that play critical roles in controlling the water contents of cells.

Structure, Dynamics, and Function of Aquaporins

These channels are widely distributed in all kingdoms of life, including bacteria, plants, and mammals. More than ten different aquaporins have been found in human body, and several diseases, such as congenital cataracts and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, are connected to the impaired function of these channels. They form tetramers in the cell membrane, and facilitate the transport of water and, in some cases, other small solutes across the membrane. However, the water pores are completely impermeable to charged species, such as protons, a remarkable property that is critical for the conservation of membrane's electrochemical potential, but paradoxical at the same time, since protons can usually be transfered readily through water molecules.

Keyline design

The Keyline refers to a specific topographic feature linked to water flow. Beyond that however, Keyline can be seen as a collection of design principles, techniques and systems for development of rural and urban landscapes.
