Structural alignmentStructural alignment attempts to establish homology between two or more polymer structures based on their shape and three-dimensional conformation. This process is usually applied to protein tertiary structures but can also be used for large RNA molecules. In contrast to simple structural superposition, where at least some equivalent residues of the two structures are known, structural alignment requires no a priori knowledge of equivalent positions.
Structural steelStructural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Most structural steel shapes, such as -beams, have high second moments of area, which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and thus can support a high load without excessive sagging.
Machine à papierUne machine à papier est la machine-outil principale de l'industrie papetière. Elle est chargée de la production de papier, produit généralement sous forme de bobines très volumineuses, à partir de la pâte à papier. vignette|Machine à papier à forme ronde du moulin de la Rouzique, anciennes papeteries de Couze-et-Saint-Front, France. Une machine à papier se compose de cinq différentes parties : les circuits de tête de machine, la formation de la feuille, le pressage de la feuille, le séchage de la feuille, la mise en format du papier.
Geodetic astronomyGeodetic astronomy or astronomical geodesy (astro-geodesy) is the application of astronomical methods into geodetic networks and other technical projects of geodesy. The most important applications are: Establishment of geodetic datum systems (e.g.
