Localized self-assembly allowing both spatial and temporal control over the assembly process is essential in many biological systems. This can be achieved through localized enzyme-assisted self-assembly (LEASA), also called enzyme-instructed self-assembly, where enzymes present on a substrate catalyze a reaction that transforms noninteracting species into self-assembling ones. Very few LEASA sy...

Supramolecular hydrogels are formed via the self-assembly of gelator molecules upon application of a suitable trigger. The exact nature of this self-assembly process has been widely investigated as a practical understanding is vital for the informed design of these materials. Solution-state NMR spectroscopy is an excellent non-invasive tool to follow the self-assembly of supramolecular hydrogel...

Research barriers continue to exist in all phases of the emerging cellulosic ethanol biorefining industry. These barriers include the development of sustainable and abundant biomass feedstock, the assembly of viable assembly systems formatting the feedstock and moving it from the field (e.g., the forest) to the biorefinery, and improving conversion technologies. Each of these phases of cellulos...

Biological self-assembly is a process in which building blocks autonomously organize to form stable supermolecules of higher order and complexity through domination of weak, noncovalent interactions. For silk protein, the effect of high incubating temperature on the induction of secondary structure and self-assembly was well investigated. However, the effect of freezing and thawing on silk solu...

given the importance of transcriptome analysis in various biological studies and considering thevast amount of whole transcriptome sequencing data, it seems necessary to develop analgorithm to assemble transcriptome data. in this study we propose an algorithm fortranscriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome. first, the contiguous sequencesare generated using de bruijn graph with d...

Self-assembly and self-organization have recently emerged as robust scaffold-free tissue engineering methodologies that can be used to generate various tissues, including cartilage, vessel, and liver. Self-assembly, in particular, is a scaffold-free platform for tissue engineering that does not require the input of exogenous energy to the system. Although self-assembly can generate functional t...

the strategic pricing decisions of assembly products in assembly products supply chain are studied in this paper. firstly, a two-stage assembly products supply chain model is developed. by building nash game model, the nash equilibrium solution of pricing strategy of supplier and assemblers is obtained. next, a union decision model is built to analyze the optimal combination pricing strategy of...

The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate the use of process-based manufacturing and assembly cost models in a traditional performancefocused multidisciplinary design and optimization process. The use of automated cost-performance analysis is an enabling technology that could bring realistic process-based manufacturing and assembly cost into multidisciplinary design and optimization...

The review is devoted to the physical, chemical, and technological aspects of the breath-figure self-assembly process. The main stages of the process and impact of the polymer architecture and physical parameters of breath-figure self-assembly on the eventual pattern are covered. The review is focused on the hierarchy of spatial and temporal scales inherent to breath-figure self-assembly. Multi...

Aimed at overcoming the disadvantages of traditional selective assembly and improving the manufacturing processes of mating parts, a new approach of information-based manufacturing for the mating parts of selective assembly via a coordinated statistical tolerancing (ST) and SPC model is presented. On the basis of studies on quality indices and process capability index (PCI), particularly, the m...
