What does it mean for a molecule to generate force? A good way to think about the force generated by a molecular machine is that force is one of the products of the cyclic, fuelconsuming chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction is favorable it will go forward even against a moderate load force. But if the force is too high, then it will inhibit the reaction, just like a high concentration of...
متن کاملProfessor Robert McNeill Alexander CBE FRS (1934-2016).
Robert McNeill Alexander, known to friends and colleagues as 'Neill', was a zoologist with an engineer's eye for how animals work. He used mathematical models to show how evolution has produced optimal designs. His skill was to choose appropriate models: realistic enough to contain the essence of a problem and yet simple enough to be tractable. He wrote fluently and easily: 23 books, 280 papers...
متن کاملR-MODULES FOR THE ALEXANDER COHOMOLOGY THEORY APPROVED: Major Professor
The Alexander Wallace Spanier cohomology theory associates with an arbitrary topological space an abelian group. In this paper, an arbitrary topological space is associated with an R-module. The construction of the R-module is similar to the Alexander Wallace Spanier construction of the abelian group. In Chapter I, the algebraic and topological material necessary to construct the theor'y is lis...
متن کاملA Conversation with Kristopher McNeill
Why are you trying to anticipate contamination that does not yet exist? The standard paradigm of environmental chemistry is that we chase the effect of a chemical in the environment, so there’s a lag between discovering a problem and then 10 years later developing a solution. In the 1970s and 1980s, the targets were pesticides, then chlorinated solvents in the 1990s. And in the 2000s, people fo...
