A Perspective on the Revival of Structural (In) Stability With Novel Opportunities for Function: From Buckliphobia to Buckliphilia

چکیده

Buckling of slender structures is traditionally regarded as a first route toward failure. Here, we provide an alternative perspective on a burgeoning movement where mechanical instabilities are exploited to devise new classes of functional mechanisms that make use of the geometrically nonlinear behavior of their postbuckling regimes. Selected examples are highlighted across length-scales to illustrate some of the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. [DOI: 10.1115/1.4031456]

رفع اعوجاج هندسی متون به‌کمک اطلاعات هندسی خطوط متن

Document images produced by scanners or digital cameras usually have photometric and geometric distortions. If either of these effects distorts document, recognition of words from such a document image using OCR is subject to errors. In this paper we propose a novel approach to significantly remove geometric distortion from document images. In this method first we extract document lines from do...

Functional Investigation of the Novel BRCA1variant (Glu1661Gly) byComputationalTools andYeastTranscription Activation Assay

Introduction: Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are major risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers. However, the relationship between some BRCA1 mutations and cancer risk remains largely unknown. Cancer risk predictions could be improved by evaluation of the impairment degree in the BRCA1 functions due to a specific mutation. This study aimed to assess the functional effect of a novel variant (Glu...
