Parvin-ILK

Integrin-linked kinase (ILK), PINCH and Parvin proteins form the IPP-complex that has been established as a core component of the integrin-actin link. Our recent genetic studies on Drosophila parvin, reveal that loss of function mutant defects phenocopy those observed upon loss of ILK or PINCH in the muscle and the wing, strengthening the notion that these proteins function together in the orga...

MESSAGE FROM Prof

Dynamic excitation of any machine tool structure is based on natural frequency of the structure and corresponding mode shape. Initial work of the thesis presents a systematic procedure and details of the use of experimental analysis and finite element modal analysis technique for determining the structural dynamic response of end milling machine.The simplified experimental modal analysis of dif...

Happenings — from the Chair , Prof

I am pleased to say that we have had a very active and productive year in terms of both research and education here at Duke Physics. This is my first year as Chair, as many of you know, and it was a year of challenges and learning for me personally. Certainly the most interesting things I learned came from finding out what my colleagues in other subfields are doing; this broad view – from bioph...
