We report a magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR structure of the drug-resistant S31N mutation of M2(18-60) from Influenza A. The protein was dispersed in diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipid bilayers, and the spectra and an extensive set of constraints ...
We use the coset construction of low-energy effective actions to systematically derive Wess-Zumino (WZ) terms for fluid and isotropic solid systems in two, three, and four spacetime dimensions. We recover the known WZ term for fluids in two dimensions as w ...
The mixed-mode fatigue and fracture behaviors of adhesively-bonded pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer joints are presented in this chapter. These behaviors are based on experimental investigations using asymmetric mixed-mode bending specimens. In suc ...
We consider the Unconstrained Submodular Maximization problem in which we are given a nonnegative submodular function f : 2(N) -> R+, and the objective is to find a subset S subset of N maximizing f(S). This is one of the most basic submodular optimization ...
We present the superspace formulation of the local RG equation, a framework for the study of supersymmetric RG flows in which the constraints of holomorphy and R-symmetry are manifest. We derive the consistency conditions associated with super-Weyl symmetr ...
The symmetry theory of halving objects into two identical fragments is developed and illustrated by examples. La coupe du roi is a fascinating way to slice an apple into chiral fragments with the same handedness. It may be applied to any object with point ...
Bloch theorem provides a useful tool to analyze wave propagation in periodic systems. It has been widely used in physics to obtain the energy bands of various translationally-periodic cristals and with the advent of nanosciences like nanotubes, it has been ...
We classify condensed matter systems in terms of the spacetime symmetries they spontaneously break. In particular, we characterize condensed matter itself as any state in a Poincare-invariant theory that spontaneously breaks Lorentz boosts while preserving ...
The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded double cantilever beam specimens is studied in this chapter. The crack propagates along paths away from the symmetry plane and is accompanied by fiber bridging. Finite element models are developed to qua ...
Although the grain refinement of yellow gold alloys with Jr has been used in industry and known for nearly half a century, the basic mechanism is still unknown. The present contribution shows that the mechanism is the same as that evidenced recently in Al- ...
