Melting double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is a fundamental part of several biological processes. dsDNA in vivo subject to small tensile forces induced by thermal fluctuations and active Although these general accelerate bond dissociation, recent experimental theoretical studies suggest nontrivial, stabilizing effect force on the duplex (roll-over effect). To investigate ∼pN axial stability, we develo...

A method is proposed for evaluating the overall dynamic stability of an intact vessel in a seaway. We use an existing ship motions program to study the motion of a vessel with a certain loading condition, speed and heading, in given wave conditions. A deterministic method is discussed for looking at the stability of a vessel over a wide range of these parameters. This is done with a view to giv...

An important condition of any port-assembled floating offshore wind turbine concept is the de-ballasted transport stage. As hydrostatic and dynamic stability may vary greatly from operational condition, it needs to be carefully investigated in early stages design-phase. In this work, physical modelling OrthoSpar device was carried out determine roll pitch RAOs, as well load characteristics towi...

This paper investigated the vibration of a printed electronic laminated membrane subjected to pretension and air resistance in thermal environments. First, mathematical model for moving is established, which considers inhomogeneity tension at both ends membrane. The equilibrium governing differential equation obtained according classical laminate plate theory Hamilton’s principle. quadrature me...

733 Abstract— This paper has studied subthreshold characteristics for double gate(DG) MOSFET using Gaussian function in solving Poisson's equation. Typical two dimensional analytical transport models have been presented for symmetrical Double Gate MOSFETs (DGMOSFETs). Subthreshold swing and threshold voltage are very important factors for digital devices because of determination of ON and OFF. ...

We address the so-called “roll-off” phenomenon: Selective abstention in multiple elections. We present a discuss a novel model of decision making by voters that explains this as a result of differences in quality and quantity of information that the voters have about each election. In doing so we use a spatial model that differs from the Euclidean one, and is more naturally applied to modelling...

We derive slow-roll conditions for a scalar field which is non-minimally coupled with gravity in a consistent manner and express spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters. The conformal invariance of the curvature perturbation is proved without linear approximations. Rapid-roll conditions are also derived, and the relation with the slow-roll conditions...

Many types of vehicle control systems can conceivably be developed to help drivers maintain stability, avoid roll-over, and customize handling characteristics. A lack of state and parameter information, however, presents a major obstacle. This dissertation presents state and parameter estimation methods using the Global Positioning System (GPS) for vehicle dynamics control. It begins by explain...

In this paper we investigate the effect of a prescribed superficial shear stress on the generation and structure of roll waves developing from infinitesimal disturbances on the surface of a power-law fluid layer flowing down an incline. The unsteady equations of motion are depth integrated according to the von Kármán momentum integral method to obtain a non-homogeneous system of nonlinear hyper...
