The transition from three-dimensional to two-dimensional foam structures.
A two-dimensional foam consists of a monolayer of bubbles. It can be created by squeezing the more familiar three-dimensional foam between two parallel glass plates. We describe and explain the minimum plate separation H which must be reached to fully effect the transition from three- to two- dimensional foam. We find that H/V(1/3) is close to one, where V is the average bubble volume, and incr...
متن کاملThe transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional foam structures.
Small cells in an experimental sample of two-dimensional foam, such as that which is contained between two glass plates, may undergo a transition to a three-dimensional form, becoming detached from one boundary. We present the first detailed observations of this phenomenon, together with computer simulations. The transition is attributed to an instability of the Rayleigh-Plateau type. A theoret...
متن کاملTHE CMA EVOLUTION STRATEGY BASED SIZE OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSS STRUCTURES
Evolution Strategies (ES) are a class of Evolutionary Algorithms based on Gaussian mutation and deterministic selection. Gaussian mutation captures pair-wise dependencies between the variables through a covariance matrix. Covariance Matrix Adaptation (CMA) is a method to update this covariance matrix. In this paper, the CMA-ES, which has found many applications in solving continuous optimizatio...
متن کاملSize-independent comparison of protein three-dimensional structures.
Protein structures are routinely compared by their root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) in atomic coordinates after optimal rigid body superposition. What is not so clear is the significance of different RMSD values, particularly above the customary arbitrary cutoff for obvious similarity of 2-3 A. Our earlier work argued for an intrinsic cutoff for protein similarity that varied with the number o...
متن کاملThree-dimensional chromosome structures from energy landscape.
The human genome contains about 2-m length of DNA and is packed into a small cell nucleus of approximately cubic-micrometer size. A central question in genome biology is to understand how chromatins are organized in such a compact volume, while biological functions such as gene expression, DNA replication, and DNA repair are robustly orchestrated. Over the past two decades, experimental studies...
