This paper describes a case-study which illustrates the capabilities of a commercially available software package called SyMech, which runs within Pro/ENGINEER. The software allows a designer to synthesize arbitrarily complex planar mechanisms by sequentially specifying one of three basic mechanism design functions: position, path, or angle. Because the software runs directly within Pro/ENGINEE...

We discuss production of neutral $D$ mesons in proton-proton collisions at the LHC (fixed target mode) framework BJM recombination model. present rapidity and transverse momentum distributions compare contribution to dominant gluon-gluon fusion mechanism. Both direct production, as dictated by matrix element, fragmentation associated $c$ or $\bar c$ are included. The latter mechanism generates ...

This study investigates the use of a spring-bar mechanism (SBM) in vibration suppression system to improve its performance. The SBM, comprising bars and springs, is configured with conventional linear spring-damper isolator unit. dynamic response, force transmissibility, energy flow behaviour are studied evaluate performance integrated system. It found that SBM can introduce hardening, softenin...

We provide direct evidence that Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) family members bend the steady state membrane architecture of organelles in intact cells. In response to inducible BAR molecular actuators, organelles exhibit distinct changes to the orientation and degree of their membrane curvature. This rapidly inducible system may offer a mechanism by which to better understand the structure-function...

Food CSs, presented (i) concomitantly with SD controlling bar pressing for food, or (ii) on the background of non-discriminated bar pressing (FR 1/15), suppress instrumental performance but elicit undiminished conditioned salivation. This result supports Soltysik-Konorski's model of CNS mechanism controlling food-oriented behavior which postulates drive inhibition by taste-consummatory neurons.

BAR domains are protein modules that bind to membranes and promote membrane curvature. One type of BAR domain, the N-BAR domain, contains an additional N-terminal amphipathic helix, which contributes to membrane-binding and bending activities. The only known N-BAR-domain proteins in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rvs161 and Rvs167, are required for endocytosis. We have explored the...
