Patient census sheets

Cracking sheets: oscillatory fracture paths in thin elastic sheets.

When a blunt cutting tool is forced through a thin elastic sheet that is held along its lateral boundaries, a strikingly regular wavy cut can be left behind, examples of which are presented in Fig. 1. The thin film is brittle, hence it undergoes negligible irreversible deformation besides fracture. For tools much wider than the film’s thickness, the crack tip follows a highly reproducible nonsi...

Census of prokaryotic senses.

A millennial myosin census.

The past decade has seen a remarkable explosion in our knowledge of the size and diversity of the myosin superfamily. Since these actin-based motors are candidates to provide the molecular basis for many cellular movements, it is essential that motility researchers be aware of the complete set of myosins in a given organism. The availability of cDNA and/or draft genomic sequences from humans, D...
