We demonstrate experimentally a gating ratchet with cold rubidium atoms in a driven near-resonant optical lattice. A single-harmonic periodic modulation of the optical potential depth is applied, together with a single-harmonic rocking force. Directed motion is observed as a result of the breaking of the symmetries of the system.

The q 2 dependence of the ρ − ω mixing amplitude is analyzed with the use of the QCD sum rules and the dispersion relation. Going off shell the mixing decreases, changes sign at q 2 ≃ 0.4m 2 ρ > 0 and is negative in the space like region. Implications of this result to the isospin breaking part of the nuclear force are discussed.

Proteins are an integral part of nature's material design. Here we apply multiscale modeling capable of providing a bottom-up description of the nanomechanics of chemically complex protein materials under large deformation and fracture. To describe the formation and breaking of chemical bonds of different character, we use a new reactive force field approach that enables us to describe the unfo...

Cross-wire welding is a type of electric resistance called projection that used in the production variety products. This paper deals with case where steel wires equal radii are joined together to form reinforced mesh. The objective study determine correlation between parameters and breaking force weld. Each weld cut out from given wire mesh tested separately by destructive testing on universal ...

The experimental results of a 1:30 scaled wave tank experiment point-absorber in extreme sea states and intermediate water depth are studied. effect the PTO damping parameter different non-linear phenomena conditions such as breaking overtopping investigated with focus on maximum line (mooring) force presence an upper end-stop. In comparison wave-type representations, i.e. irregular, regular, f...

Articulated coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) dominate low-intertidal, wave-exposed habitats around the world, yet the mechanics of this diverse group of organisms has been almost completely unexplored. In contrast to fleshy seaweeds, articulated corallines consist of calcified segments (intergenicula) separated by uncalcified joints (genicula). This jointed construction makes calcifie...
