New ribbons and threads

Traveling Threads : a New Multithreaded Execution Model

New supramolecular organization for a glycoluril: chiral hydrogen-bonded ribbons.

A series of substituted glycoluril molecules exhibits a substantial twist of the fused five-membered rings and assembles exclusively chiral hydrogen-bonded ribbons in the solid-state.

A new connection between VHL and cancer threads through progerin

A-type nuclear lamins, all encoded by the LMNA gene through alternative splicing, are targets for mutation in a wide range of rare diseases, including a dominant mutation that enhances production of lamin A splice variant progerin, causing Hutchinson-Gilford proge-ria syndrome (HGPs). 1 Often ignored, however , is the complex and poorly understood connection between A-type lamins and cancer. 2 ...

A new thermotropic smectic phase made of ribbons

2014 From microscopical observations and structural studies on the mesophases of a new thermotropic polar compound 2014 the nitrobenzoyloxybenzoate of octylphenyl 2014 we have shown the existence of a novel fluid mesophase built with ribbons forming a two-dimensional oblique lattice. We propose a crude model based upon structure factor calculations. J. Physique LETTRES 43 (1982) L-327 L-331 ler...

Rolling ribbons.

We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of rolling elastic ribbons. Particular attention is given to characterizing the steady shapes that arise in static and dynamic rolling configurations. In both cases, above a critical value of the forcing (either gravitational or centrifugal), the ribbon assumes a two-lobed, peanut shape similar to that assumed by ro...
