Distribution of Lamellar Deformations

Distribution of lamellar deformations: implications for properties of the arterial media.

Most computations of arterial mechanics treat the wall as a mechanically homogeneous body, but there are no data to support or refute this. To evaluate this assumption, experiments were performed that measured the deformation of 4 elastic lamellae located at 4 equidistant points across the thickness of the media. Data were obtained at 25-mm Hg pressure steps between 0 and 200 mm Hg. To satisfy ...

The Distribution of Photosynthetic Reactions in the Chloroplast Lamellar System

Plastocyanin is released from chloroplasts by sonication, by passing through the French-press, by extraction with detergents, by treatment with organic solvents and by freezing and thawing. No plastocyanin is liberated during osmotic shock of either class I or class II chloroplasts, or by extraction of class II chloroplasts with dilute solutions of EDTA. Under special conditions it is possible ...

Procrustean statistical inference of deformations

A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...

Lamellar-in-lamellar structure of binary linear multiblock copolymers.

A theoretical description of the lamellar-in-lamellar self-assembly of binary A-b-(B-b-A)(m)-b-B-b-A multiblock copolymers in the strong segregation limit is presented. The essential difference between this binary multiblock system and the previously considered C-b-(B-b-A)(m)-b-B-b-C ternary multiblock copolymer system is discussed. Considering the situation with long end blocks, the free energ...
