The development of DNA circuits capable of adaptive behavior is a key goal in DNA computing, as such systems would have potential applications in long-term monitoring and control of biological and chemical systems. In this paper, we present a framework for adaptive DNA circuits using buffered strand displacement gates, and demonstrate that this framework can implement supervised learning of lin...

In this paper, we present a mode superposition method for uid-structure interaction problems based on velocity potential and pressure formulation for acoustic uids and displacement formulation for solids. The eeectiveness of the proposed numerical procedure is demonstrated in a test example with seismic ground motion eeects. 1 INTRODUCTION Fluid-structure interaction systems are widely used in ...

Using the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation we study the evolution of Josephson current in a repulsive Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical-lattice potential initiated by a sudden displacement of the trapping potential. Similarly, we also study the evolution of quantum tunneling in a double-well potential in one and three dimensions initiated by a trap displacement leading to a period...

The evidence for character displacement as a widespread response to competition is now building. This progress is largely the result of the establishment of rigorous criteria for demonstrating character displacement in the animal literature. There are, however, relatively few well-supported examples of character displacement in plants. This review explores the potential for character displaceme...

Building fragility functions provide a probabilistic representation of a building damage potential due to a hazard of a varying intensity. A simplified probabilistic displacement-based framework is adopted to develop fragility functions for NZ building inventory subject to ground motion hazard. To account for the diversity of building characteristics within a given building class, a Monte-Carlo...

By virtue of a complete set of two displacement potentials, an analytical derivation of the elastostatic Green’s functions of an exponentially graded transversely isotropic bi-material full-space was presented. Three-dimensional point-load Green’s functions for stresses and displacements were given in line-integral representations. The formulation included a complete set of transformed stress-p...
