Cartilage matrix mechanical function is largely determined by interactions between the collagen fibrillar network and the proteoglycan gel. Although the molecular physics of these matrix constituents have been characterized and modern imaging methods are capable of localized measurement of molecular densities and orientation distributions, theoretical tools for using this information for predic...

Protein bodies from the storage endosperm of dry castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) were isolated by successive nonaqueous linear density gradient centrifugation. The isolated protein bodies were lysed by the addition of water, and the various structural components of the organelles were separated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. The matrix protein remained at the top of the gradient while th...

‎the global fom and gmres algorithms are among the effective‎ ‎methods to solve sylvester matrix equations‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we‎ ‎study these algorithms in the case that the coefficient matrices‎ ‎are real symmetric (real symmetric positive definite) and extract‎ ‎two cg-type algorithms for solving generalized sylvester matrix‎ ‎equations‎. ‎the proposed methods are iterative projection metho...

We report molecular dynamics simulations of the effect of the photoisomerization of probe molecules on the nonequilibrium dynamics of a bulk amorphous matrix. Is it the matrix or the probe that drives the dynamics in SRG formation? In the first picture, the probe isomerization induces the motion of the probe inside the matrix. The motion of the probe then induces molecular motions inside the ma...

The architecture of the outer body wall cuticle is fundamental to protect arthropods against invading pathogens and numerous other harmful stresses. Such robust cuticles are formed by parallel running chitin microfibrils. Molting and also local wounding leads to dynamic assembly and disassembly of the chitin-matrix throughout development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that organi...

The ability of matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique to transfer and deposit high-quality thin organic, bioorganic, and composite films with minimum chemical modification of the target material has been utilized in numerous applications. One of the outstanding problems in MAPLE film deposition, however, is the presence of residual solvent (matrix) codeposited with the polym...

Abstract Cellulose polymers are widely used to fabricate green composites, implemented as fiber, matrix, and adhesive material between them. In this study, cellulose interphase spherical nanoparticles of hydroxylated alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) epoxy. Molecular dynamics simulations using the large‐scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (LAMMPS) utilized investigate effect content on stiffn...
