Mechanical unfolding trajectories, generated by applying constant force in optical-tweezer experiments, show that RNA hairpins and the P5abc subdomain of the group I intron unfold reversibly. We use coarse-grained Go-like models for RNA hairpins to explore forced unfolding over a broad range of temperatures. A number of predictions that are amenable to experimental tests are made. At the critic...

In Feb. 2007, we presented a proposal to test applications and the CHEETAH control-plane solution on the HOPI testbed. We also proposed to implement a software program called a “Force-10 virtualizer,” which would allow multiple control-plane and/or management-plane modules to simultaneously control the data-plane resources of the Force10 switches. The reader is referred to [1] for further details.

The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...

the effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated cds thin films have been investigated. cds thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, uv-vis-nir spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to character...

BACKGROUND Flip-flops are an item of footwear, which are rubber and loosely secured across the dorsal fore-foot. These are popular in warm climates; however are widely criticised for being detrimental to foot health and potentially modifying walking gait. Contemporary alternatives exist including FitFlop, which has a wider strap positioned closer to the ankle and a thicker, ergonomic, multi-den...

We discuss the use of a flat-plane slider for a surface acoustic wave (SAW) motor. For stable driving, the SAW motor requires a silicon slider with many microprojections on its surface. Previously, sliders with no projections on the flat-plane surface could not provide stable drive because of contact electrification occurring due to the low electrical conductivity of the lithium niobate stator....

Abstract We consider the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations subject to Dirichlet boundary condition in a half plane for initial vorticity with finite measures. study local well-posedness of associated measures small pure point part and global total variation. Our construction is based on an L 1 -estimate solution operator Stokes equations.
