Background: Maternally inherited endosymbionts like Wolbachia pipientis are in linkage disequilibrium with the mtDNA of their hosts. Therefore, they can induce selective sweeps, decreasing genetic diversity over many gen...

We present a four-component relativistic approach to describe the effects of the nuclear spin-dependent parity-violating (PV) weak nuclear forces on nuclear spin-rotation (NSR) tensors. The formalism is derived within th...

Este artigo procura explicar por que os líderes dos EUA e da Rússia não implementaram total e efetivamente o plano de ação de treze pontos práticos para o desarmamento nuclear, estabelecido na Conferência de Revis...

Mechanical forces drive and modulate a wide variety of processes in eukaryotic cells including those occurring in the nucleus. Relevantly, forces are fundamental during development since they guide lineage specifications...

In this paper we propose a process of Lagrangian reduction and reconstruction for symmetric discrete-time mechanical systems acted on by external forces, where the symmetry group action on the configuration manifold turn...

Modal seismic analysis evaluates the seismic response of nuclear plants by combining dominant vibration modes under a prescribed pseudo-acceleration spectrum. Such analyses typically consider only the thermal and kinemat...

Purpose – This paper aims to assess the accuracy of Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for numerical simulation of the stratification of a Van der Waals (VdW) fluid subjected to a gravity field and non-uniform temperature ...

We study the thickness influence on the martensitic transformation in Cu-Al-Ni thin films grown by sputtering on Si (001). Thin films with thicknesses between 0.1 μm and 2.25 mm were grown at 563 K. The analysis of the ...

Superconcentrated lithium salt electrolytes, or lithium-based Water-in-Salt (WiS) electrolytes emerge as alternative electrolytes in supercapacitors and advanced batteries, such as the Li–O2 ones, especially when combi...

Mechanotransduction is a process where cells sense their surroundings and convert the physical forces in their environment into an appropriate response. Calcium plays a crucial role in the translation of such forces to b...

The production of magnetic forces in a magnetic actuator is the focus of the present analysis. Magnetic circuit analysis is used to investigate the direction as well as the expected order of magnitude of the force that a...

The induction planar actuator, i.e. IPA, proposed in this study presents an electromagnetic structure formed by a static ferromagnetic core with an aluminium plate that corresponds to the secondary, and a mover, also cal...

The purpose of this study is to justify the design parameters of spiral-vortex equipment ensuring energy-efficient desulfurization of flue gases from autonomous medium-capacity gas-piston power plants (GPPPs). The study ...

Dual-drive feed systems are widely adopted in high-end CNC machines because of their high precision, rigidity, and operational stability. Vibration suppression during machining is critical to maintaining feed accuracy an...

This study develops a first-order quasi-static framework for climbing initiation in passive handcarts and proposes two passive modules to relax the resulting geometric constraints. Unlike motorized platforms that apply t...

Abstract This study describes a localized method – using optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) – to determine the human bite force at the very moment of occlusion, in maximum intercuspidation. The FBG was encapsulated ...

Understanding of thermodynamic variables in any binary liquid system is crucial for the development of industrial products. Among the various thermodynamic parameters, density (ρ), viscosity (η), surface tension (γ), ...
