We have studied the stress wave propagation in one-dimensional (1-D) nanoscopic buckyball (C60) system by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and quantitative modeling. Simulation results have shown that solitary waves are generated and propagating in the buckyball system through impacting one buckyball at one end of the buckyball chain. We have found the solitary wave behaviors are closely depe...

Impact microactuators rely on repeated collisions to generate gross displacements of a microelectromechanical machine element without the need for large applied forces. Their design and control rely on an understanding of the critical transition between non-impacting and impacting long-term system dynamics and the associated changes in system behavior. In this paper, we present three co-dimensi...

Starting with a mutation impacting photoreceptor morphogenesis, we identify here a Drosophila gene, eyes closed (eyc), as a fly homolog of p47, a protein co-factor of the p97 ATPase implicated in membrane fusion. Temporal misexpression of Eyc during rhabdomere extension early in pupal life results in inappropriate retention of normally transient adhesions between developing rhabdomeres. Later E...

INTRODUCTION Climate change is impacting the health of the population, especially the elderly population. Michelozzi et al. (2009) emphasize that high temperatures increase respiratory-related hospital admissions, particularly in the elderly population, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The impact of extreme heat events on hospital admissions is expected to increase in Europe...

The organization will be affected by the presence of employees. The dedication of employees will decide whether organization will earn profit or not. The simulative environment is constructed in the proposed paper using Netlogo in order to analyse impact of agents within the organization. The belief revisioning is considered as a factor of altering the faith of the agents due to which agents ma...

The first reported combination of regioselective hydro-defluorination and a ligand exchange reaction during the syntheses of neutral iridium(III) complexes is presented. Surprisingly, loss of one fluorine atom per ligand combined with a complete ligand exchange reaction on the transition metal were jointly observed during a bridge-splitting and substitution reaction of two different dimeric iri...
