Plasticity at the micron scale
Over a scale which extends from about a fraction of a micron to tens of microns, metals display a strong sizedependence when deformed non uniformly into the plastic range: smaller is stronger. This eect has important implications for an increasing number of applications in electronics, structural materials and MEMS. Plastic behavior at this scale cannot be characterized by conventional plastic...
متن کاملWho's The Weakest Link?
In this paper we consider the following problem: Given a network G, determine if there is an edge in G through which at least c shortest paths pass. This problem arises naturally in various practical situations where there is a massive network (telephone, internet), and routing of data is done via shortest paths and one wants to identify most congested edges in the network. This problem can be ...
متن کاملFinding cancer's weakest link
The biological programs of vertebrates exhibit a remarkable degree of functional degeneracy, adaptive compensation and robustness, to preserve homeostasis and generate reproducible phenotypic outputs irrespective of variations in signal strength, noise and quality. Cancers are difficult to treat not only because they are so mechanistically diverse but also because they adapt or evolve in respon...
متن کاملCooperative weakest link games
We introduce Weakest Link Games (WLGs), a cooperative game modeling domains where a team’s value is determined by its weakest member. The game is represented as an edgeweighted graph with designated source and target vertices, where agents are the edges. The quality of a path between the source vertex and target vertex is the minimal edge weight along the path; the value of a coalition of edges...
متن کاملThe weakest link
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a protein scaffold that is assembled by cells into a precise configuration and constantly remodeled. It not only provides structural support for cells and tissues, but also provides positional cues for cell adhesion and migration and serves as a reservoir for growth factors. Consequently, organ development and homeostasis critically depend on cell–ECM interacti...
