Intrinsically disordered proteins a nd c omplex multidomain proteins are characterized by dynamic ensembles of conformations that cannot be unequivocally de scribed by t raditional s tatic te rms o f s tructural b iology. These states of proteins are critical in understanding their function at the atomic level, which will eventually lead to extending the structure-function paradigm to establish...

Introduction The need for predictive, qualified models of very complex structures drives the requirements for large scale structural analysis. Reduced testing in the nuclear weapons program is a driving factor at the DOE labs. In addition, more detailed models reduce the need for engineering approximation, improve accuracy and often simplify model construction. Uncertainty in model parameters (...

Bargaining for retail goods is common in developing countries, but rare in the developed world. The welfare implications of this difference are theoretically ambiguous—if bargaining is a low cost form of price discrimination, it may lead to greater trade and welfare and even approximate the optimal incentive compatible outcome. However, if bargaining imposes large utility costs on market partic...

Group-work dynamics has been assumed to explain a great part of impact in language learningand teaching in specific contexts or for particular skills. In the same vein, structural accuracy hasbeen significant in foreign language learning. Today, foreign language learning is not limited tothe classroom environment. In addition, it encompasses the learner’s lives, so that selfregulation’srole see...

this paper describes a modified structural dynamics model for aeroelastic analysis of high-aspect-ratio wings undergoing large deformation behavior. to gain this aim, a moderate deflection beam model is modified with some important large deflection terms and then coupled with a state space unsteady aerodynamics model. finite element method is used to discretize the equations of motion. a dynami...

natural hazards such as earthquakes have threatened the life of human beings during the history.as a consequence, the vibration mitigation of structures has caught great importance. activecontrol of structures is one of the rapidly emerging areas in the concept of structural control. thispaper presents a control method to deal with this subject when the dynamics of the structure ishysteretic an...
