Liquid crystals from curved colloidal rods: waves, twists and more
Reports on progress in physics. Physical SocietyThe curvature of elongated microscopic building blocks plays a crucial role on their self-assembly into orientationally ordered phases. While rod-like molecules form a handful of liquid crystal (LC) phases, curved or banana-shaped molecules show more ...

An Efficient Dynamic Analysis of Planar Arches
European Mechanical Science, 2017 The aim of this study is to investigate the curved rods subjected to dynamic loads with variable geometric properties along the axis theoretically. The transient analysis of the planar rods under the various in-plane dynamic loads has been analyzed in ...

Asymptotic models for curved rods derived from nonlinear elasticity by Γ-convergence [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh: Section A Mathematics, 2008 We study the problem of the rigorous derivation of one-dimensional models for a thin curved beam starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. We describe the limiting models obtained for different scalings of the energy.

On Finite Deformations of Spatially Curved Bisymmetric Thin-Walled Rods
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2016 Deriving the formulas for strain components, we are assuming, that cross-section of a rod being rotated in space during deformation does not need to be perpendicular to deformed centroid line. This not a quite intuitive assumption allows for more compact

Ordering of rods near planar and curved surfaces
AIP Advances, 2018 We study the orientational profile of a semi-infinite system of cylinders bounded in two different ways: by a flat and by a curved wall. The latter corresponds to the interior of a spherical shell, where the dimensions of the rods are comparable to the ...

A Reduction Approximation Method for Curved Rods
Numerical Functional Analysis and Optimization, 2005 We study the numerical approximation of a general linear model for three-dimensional clamped curved rods. We introduce a modified system and we show that the convergence of the numerical discretization is independent of the small parameters entering the coefficients of the differential equations.

Image analysis of curved gradient-index rods
Applied Optics, 1986 A method of ray tracing through curved gradient-index imaging rods is developed. A study of the imaging ability of a radial gradient-index relay rod, with end-to-end imaging of an object in the meridional plane, bent along some simple curves is performed.

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.
