Unbalance and Vibration of High-Speed Sewing Machine (Part I. Unbalance)

Of balance and unbalance.

The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie. Susan Sontag, US author and critic (1933–xxxx). If balance is truth, homeostasis is its biological expression. Students learn the importance of homeostatic regulation in the first few lectures of any physiology course. Research scientists may spend their entire careers defining the mechanisms that underli...

5.1.3 Introduction to Unbalance

The Effect of Epistasis and Gametic Unbalance

ENETIC load has been defined as the extent to which an equilibrium population is impaired because not all individuals are of optimum genotype. The concept, first discussed by HALDANE (1937), is the basis of theory developed by CROW (1958) and others for assessing the relative impact of various facets of the genetic system (especially mutation, segregation and inbreeding) on the average fitness ...

The Unbalance of Set Systems

The unbalance of an intersecting family F is defined as |F|−d(F), where d(F) is the maximum degree of F ; the max |{F ∈ F : x ∈ F}| over all vertices x. We show that the unbalance of a k-uniform intersecting family is at most ( n−3 k−2 ) when n ≥ 6k3 and we determine all families achieving this bound.

Redox unbalance modifies neurogenic potential

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide anion, hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide, can be formed endogenously by incomplete reduction of molecular oxygen occurring during mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, or by interactions with exogenous sources. The antioxidant defense system, with its major enzymes Catalase, superoxide dismutase (SODs) and glutathione peroxidase (Gpx)...
