Local Writhing Dynamics
Randall D. Kamien Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104 We present an alternative local definition of the writhe of a self-avoiding closed loop which differs from the traditional non-local definition by an integer. When studying dynamics this difference is immaterial. We employ a formula due to Aldinger, Klapper and Tabor for the change in writh...
متن کاملWrithing Geometry of Open DNA
Motivated by recent experiments on DNA torsion-force-extension characteristics we consider the writhing geometry of open stiff molecules. We exhibit a cyclic motion which allows arbitrarily large twisting of the end of a molecule via an activated process. This process is suppressed for forces larger than femto-Newtons which allows us to show that experiments are sensitive to a generalization of...
متن کاملIntelligent identification of vehicle’s dynamics based on local model network
This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...
متن کاملThe writhing number of a space curve.
A geometric invariant of a space curve, the writhing number, is defined and studied. For the central curve of a twisted cord the writhing number measures the extent to which coiling of the central curve has relieved local twisting of the cord. This study originated in response to questions that arise in the study of supercoiled double-stranded DNA rings.
متن کاملThe evaluation of directionally writhing polymers
We discuss the appropriate techniques for modelling the geometry of open ended elastic polymer molecules. The molecule is assumed to have fixed endpoints on a boundary surface. In particular we discuss the concept of the winding number, a directional measure of the linking of two curves, which can be shown to be invariant to the set of continuous deformations vanishing at the polymer's end-poin...
