Force distributions and force chains in random stiff fiber networks.
We study the elasticity of random stiff fiber networks. The elastic response of the fibers is characterized by a central force stretching stiffness as well as a bending stiffness that acts transverse to the fiber contour. Previous studies have shown that this model displays an anomalous elastic regime where the stretching mode is fully frozen out and the elastic energy is completely dominated b...
متن کاملThe circular topology of rhythm in asynchronous random Boolean networks.
The analysis of previously evolved rhythmic asynchronous random Boolean networks [Biosystems 59 (2001) 185] reveals common topological characteristics indicating that rhythm originates from a circular functional structure. The rhythm generating core of the network has the form of a closed ring which operates as a synchronisation substrate by supporting a travelling wave of state change; the siz...
متن کاملForce of an actin spring.
Cellular movements are produced by forces. Typically, cytoskeletal proteins such as microtubules and actin filaments generate forces via polymerization or in conjunction with molecular motors. However, the fertilization of a Limulus polyphemus egg involves a third type of actin-based cellular engine--a biological spring. During the acrosome reaction, a 60-microm long coiled and twisted bundle o...
متن کاملBuilding asymmetry into circular distributions
Most of the tractable distributions currently available for modeling circular data are symmetric around a modal direction, prominent among them the von Mises distribution. Here we discuss a method of introducing asymmetry into any such symmetric circular model and develop general classes of non-symmetric circular distributions. In particular, we introduce and study a resulting variation of the ...
