Rate-effects in sheared disordered solids are studied using molecular dynamics simulations of binary Lennard-Jones glasses two and three dimensions. In the quasistatic (QS) regime, systems exhibit critical behavior: magnitudes avalanches power-law distributed with a maximum cutoff that diverges increasing system size $L$. With rate, move away from yielding point average flow stress rises as pow...

Eukaryotic DNA is organized into nucleosomes by coiling around core particles of histones, forming a nucleosomal filament. The significance for the conformation of the filament of the DNA entry/exit angle (alpha) at the nucleosome, the angle of rotation (beta) of nucleosomes around their interconnecting DNA (linker DNA) and the length of the linker DNA, has been studied by means of wire models ...

ARLY investigators in radiation genetics claimed that X-rays of different wave E lengths, gamma rays, and beta particles of radium were equally effective in inducing sex-linked recessive mutations in Drosophila melanogaster and that densely ionizing radiations such as recoil protons from neutrons and alpha particles were less efficient than the less densely ionizing X, gamma, and beta radiation...

We investigated the properties of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) from two types of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHL) rabbits: one with a high incidence of coronary atherosclerosis (type 1), and the other with a low incidence (type 2). When incubated with mouse peritoneal macrophages, VLDL from type 1 WHHL rabbit (type 1-VLDL) stimulated cholesteryl ester synthesis 10.5-fold more tha...

Nonlinear saturation of a beta-induced Alfvén eigenmode, driven by slowing down energetic particles via transit resonance, is investigated by the nonlinear hybrid magnetohyrodynamic gyrokinetic code. Saturation is characterized by frequency chirping and symmetry breaking between co- and counter-passing particles, which can be understood as the evidence of resonance detuning. The scaling of the ...

In this paper, we consider a strongly repelling model of $n$ ordered particles $\{e^{i \theta_j}\}_{j=0}^{n-1}$ with the density $p({\theta_0},\dots, \theta_{n-1})=\frac{1}{Z_n} \exp \big\{-\frac{\beta}{2}\sum_{j \ne k} \sin^{-2} \big( \frac{\theta_j-\theta_k}{2}\big)\big\}$, $\beta>0$. Let $\theta_j=2 \pi j/n+x_j/n^2+{const}$ such that $\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}x_j=0$. Define $\zeta_n (2 j/n) =x_j/\sqr...
