The prolate-to-oblate shape transition of phospholipid vesicles in response to frequency variation of an AC electric field can be explained by the dielectric anisotropy of a phospholipid bilayer Abstract. The external electric field deforms flaccid phospholipid vesicles into spheroidal bodies, with the rotational axis aligned with its direction. Deformation is frequency dependent: in the low fr...

The mechanical impedance of soils inhibits the growth of plant roots, often being the most significant physical limitation to root system development. Non-invasive imaging techniques have recently been used to investigate the development of root system architecture over time, but the relationship with soil deformation is usually neglected. Correlative mapping approaches parameterised using 2D a...

In this paper the connection between quantum field theories on flat noncommutative space(-times) in Euclidean and Lorentzian signature is studied for the case that time is still commutative. By making use of the algebraic framework of quantum field theory and an analytic continuation of the symmetry groups which are compatible with the structure of Moyal space, a general correspondence between ...

A leaky dielectric Newtonian drop suspended in another leaky dielectric Newtonian liquid medium deforms as it settles under the influence of a uniform alternating electric field. As a result of this deformation, the terminal velocity is affected. In this study we present a detailed experimental investigation of the effect of horizontally directed uniform alternating electric field on the settli...

[1] Arctic sea ice deformation arises from spatial gradients in the ice velocity field. This deformation occurs across a wide range of spatial scales, from meters to thousands of kilometers. We analyze 7 years of sea ice deformation data from the RADARSAT Geophysical Processor System (RGPS) covering the western Arctic Ocean. We find that the mean deformation rate is related to the spatial scale...

deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the iranian-arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly sanandaj-sirjan belt or zone) is the main concern of this paper. here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement pattern of eghlid-deh bid area as affected by the position of zagros suture using a three dimensional mechanical model. the modeled area is located between the zagros thrust...

We first analyze the spinning string in the magnetic field deformed AdS5×S spacetime which was constructed in our previous paper. It is seen that the associated effective Lagrangian of string sigma model describes the spin chain model with magnetic field, in which the corresponding spin vector has been properly deformed and is living on the deformed S. The mechanism of spin deformation is descr...

Rule based systems for Fuzzy Control, Fuzzy Supervising and Fuzzy Diagnosis are non-linear multi-input, multi-output systems. The result of the signal processing within the system is a high dimensional characteristic field. For optimizing the behaviour of the system, we have a high number of fiee degrees. The reconstruction of the knowledge base from the characteristic field as starting point i...

in this study, displacement field around v-notches of a poly methyl metha crylate (pmma) specimen with tip cracks will be analyzed using digital image correlation technique. first intensity factor in combination with in-plane rigid body translations and rotation components will be determined by linear least squares fitting of the displacement field data to the corresponding relations among stre...
