Genome structural variations (SVs) in the human genome are defined as DNA sequence polymorphisms of at least a few dozen or few hundred bases in length and include deletions, duplications, inversions, translocation, retroelement insertions, and more complex rearrangements that could be thought of as consisting of multiple fragments from the just listed categories. More bases in a personal genom...

Virtually all fibers exhibit some dimensional and structural irregularities. These include the conventional textile fibers, the high-performance brittle fibers and even the newly developed nano-fibers. In recent years, we have systematically examined the effect of fiber dimensional irregularities on the mechanical behavior of the irregular fibers. This paper extends our research to include the ...
