The light-activated GTP-binding protein (GBP) in toad rod outer segments has been located on the cytoplasmic surface (CS) of rod disk membranes by correlating biochemical results with images of quick-frozen, freeze-fractured, and deep-etched rod outer segments. This has been accomplished by selectively removing and replacing the 8-12-nm particles that are found on the CS of disk membranes, exac...

Ameloglyphics is the study of enamel rod end patterns on a tooth surface. Our aim was to study the in vivo analysis of enamel rod end patterns on tooth surfaces for personal identification. In this study, the maxillary left canine and 1st premolar of 30 men and 30 women were included. The cellulose acetate peel technique was used to record enamel rod endings on tooth surfaces. Photomicrographs ...

The article presents the transients analysis of the substation grounding systems and transmission line tower footing resistances which can affect to the back-flashover (BF) or overvoltage across insulator chain in an HV power systems by using EMTP-RV software. The related transient modeling of the grounding systems is based on a transmission line (TL) model with considering the soil ionization....

The viruses studied are genetically engineered, charged, semiflexible filamentous bacteriophages that are structurally identical to M13 virus, but differ either in contour length or surface charge. While varying contour length (L) we assume the persistence length (P) remains constant, and thus we alter the rod flexibility (L/P) . Surface charge is altered both by changing solution pH and by com...

In this paper, a simulation model of reciprocating rod seal systems when there is axial texture on the surface due to wear studied. The includes macroscopic solid mechanics analysis, microscopic contact analysis and fluid basis, change pressure sealing ring fall into calculated by micro-deformation surface. Then, stiffness matrix method used find film thickness three pressures in area are equil...

Partial hydrolysis of human platelet or uterine smooth muscle myosin with insoluble papain yielded rod fragments, insoluble at low ionic strength and devoid of ATPase activity. This protein migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-8 M urea gel electrophoresis as a single band with a molecular weight of approximately 110,000 to 120,000 corresponding to the rod portion of myosin. Rabbit antibodies to p...

In the classic theory of elastic rods, two non-adjacent points along the rod may upon contact occupy the same physical space. We develop an elastic rod model with a pairwise repulsive potential such that if two non-adjacent points along the rod are close in physical space, there is an energy barrier that prevents contact. For adjacent pairs, the repulsive potential is negligible and the elastic...

Amphiphilic rod-coil diblock copolymers consisting of flexible poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and rodlike poly{(+)-2,5-bis[4'-((S)-2-methylbutoxy)phenyl]styrene} (PMBPS) with predominant hydrophobic contents formed ordered monolayers at the air-water interface. The structures of monolayers transferred to a mica substrate at different surface pressures by the Langmuir-Blodgett method were investigat...

Veronesi * Dipartimento di fisica, Università di Bologna–Centro I.M.O. ** Dipartimento di fisica, Università di Siena–Centro I.M.O. + I.N.F.M.–UdR Siena We present a surface analysis of nickel alloy rods loaded with hydrogen. By comparing these with a blank (unused) metal rod, morphological differences and a different compositi...
