In this study, Monte Carlo statistical mechanical simulations for vinblastine and vincristine werecarried out in standard manner using the Metropolis sampling technique in canonical (T, V, N)ensemble., Geometrical optimizations of vinblastine and vincristine were carried out with the HFmethod coupled to 6-31G(d) basis sets for all atoms. Simulation was done by four force fields ofMM+, BIO+, AMB...

the present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. the ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...

coupled -shear walls are one of lateral load resisting systems in high and medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. the lateral structural response is exactly dependents on the shear walls behavior; therefore these elements must response well whenundergodifferent load conditions. the structures located in near-source region behave differently compared to those in near-source sites when subjec...

It was our objective to study the role of mechanical stimulation on fibronectin (FN) reorganization and recruitment by exposing fibroblasts to shear fluid flow and equibiaxial stretch. Mechanical stimulation was also combined with a Rho inhibitor to probe their coupled effects on FN. Mechanically stimulated cells revealed a localization of FN around the cell periphery as well as an increase in ...

Cooling a mechanical resonator mode to a sub-thermal state has been a long-standing challenge in physics. This pursuit has recently found traction in the field of optomechanics in which a mechanical mode is coupled to an optical cavity. An alternate method is to couple the resonator to a well-controlled two-level system. Here we propose a protocol to dissipatively cool a room temperature mechan...

In this paper we present a new method for identification of robot manipulators with coupled inertia dynamics. The main contributions of the work are a) The parameters of a mechanical mass-spring-coupled masses equivalent of any order with coupled mass-terms are identified given only partial state information. b) The method is fully automatic with no operator input and can be applied in the fiel...

We show that long standing debates on the collapse and the role of the observer in quantum mechanics can be resolved experimentally via a nondistruc-tive continuous monitoring of a single quantum system. An example of such a system, coupled with the point-contact detector is presented. The detailed quantum mechanical analysis of the entire system (including the detector) shows that under certai...
