Co-Zn ferrite and BaM ferrite films were deposited on silicon wafer disks with thermally oxidized surface layer without annealing process, and their readlwrite characteristics in contact mode have been investigated by using a MIG and Mn-Zn ferrite head with gap length of 0.2-0.4 pm. The highest linear recording density D50 of Co-Zn ferrite and Ba ferrite films were 105 and 190 WRPI, respectivel...

The micelle formation and the dynamic coexistence in amphiphilic solution are investigated by molecular dynamics simulation of coarse-grained rigid amphiphilic molecules with explicit solvent molecules. Our simulations show that three kinds of isolated micelles (disk, cylindrical, and spherical micelles) are observed at a lower temperature by quenching from a random configuration of amphiphilic...

keyword: α-actinin rod domain, α-spectrin, Steered Molecular Dynamics. Abstract: α−actinin, an actin binding protein, plays a key role in cell migration, cross-links actin filaments in the Z-disk, and is a major component of contractile muscle apparatus. The flexibility of the molecule is critical to its function. The flexibility of various regions of the molecule, including the linker connecti...

12 Bioelectrical surface recordings are usually performed by unipolar or bipolar disc electrodes even 13 though they entail the serious disadvantage of having poor spatial resolution. Concentric ring electrodes 14 give improved spatial resolution, although this type of electrode has so far only been implemented in 15 rigid substrates and as they are not adapted to the curvature of the recording...

This paper discusses the mechanics of a rigid rimless spoked wheel, or regular polygon, ‘rolling’ downhill. By rolling, we mean motions in which the wheel pivots on one ‘support’ spoke until another spoke collides with the ground, followed by transfer of support to that spoke, and so on. We carry out three-dimensional numerical and analytical stability studies of steady motions of this system. ...

We study the quasistatic flow of a collection of rigid frictional disks pushed upward (against the gravity) inside a narrow vertical pipe by a compliant mechanism. The contact dynamics method was used for the numerical simulations in combination with a friction law at disk-disk and wall-disk contacts characterized by discontinuous velocity weakening from a static threshold to a dynamic coeffici...

In the present paper we investigate the transport of accreting plasma across the magnetopause onto a strongly magnetized massive star (i.e. white dwarf or neutron star) by magnetic reconnection. A simplified axisymmetric magnetic field model of an aligned rotator is used to study the reconnection process. To be able to separate effects caused by instabilities of the system from intrinsic time-d...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the nonlinear dynamic response of rigid and semi-rigid steel frames under Far-Fault Earthquake Records. Accordingly, the fragility curve of the moment frames with rigid and semi-rigid connections was determined. Considering the analytical knowledge of structures in the past, the analysis and design of steel frames based on the assumptions of rigid or...
