The “Jeannette” Drift

Jeannette Bigler , Chu

A method is presented for the analysis of fluorescently labeled random amplified polymorphic DNA (FRAPD) fragments. A DNA sequencer and collection and analysis software were used to estimate the sizes of DNA fragments based on their mobilities relative to in-lane size markers. This allowed confident identification and comparison of FRAPD markers both within and between polyacrylamide gels. In c...

Structural drift corresponding to the critical excitations

While the existing structures, even recently constructed ones are subjected to the critical earthquakes, the catastrophic devastations are expected to occur. Therefore, at least for several important structures such as power plants, infrastructure, and buildings, there is a need to consider the critical excitation analysis. One of the important criteria in the seismic design of the structures u...

The Moment of Environmental Ethics the Moment of Drift?

The question of whether architectural creativity is more of an artistic or engineering nature is one with a long history but also one with no conclusive answer. The art camp would argue that technology should be treated as a means towards and end, and that technology alone cannot give meaning to our lives. The engineering camp on the other hand would argue that good problem-solving result...

On the connection between Stokes drift and Darwin drift

Stokes and Darwin drift, for irrotational waves and flow past rigid bodies, are analysed in a general framework and shown to be fundamentally the same thing.
