Totally dissipative systems

open access: yes, 2005
In a totally dissipative behavior, all non-trivial trajectories dissipate energy. A characterization of such behaviors is given in terms of properties of the one- and two-polynomial matrices associated with the supply rate and with their kernel- and ...

Chemical fuel-driven dissipative living materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Dissipative behaviors in biology are fuel-driven processes controlled by living cells and shape the structural and functional complexities in biological materials.

Simplified techniques for predicting the transmission loss of a circular dissipative silencer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A closed-form analytical solution for the transmission loss of a dissipative silencer with a circular cross-section is described. The silencer contains a bulk reacting acoustic absorbent which is separated from a mean gas flow by a perforated screen ...

Disentangling diversity patterns in sandy beaches along environmental gradients.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Species richness in sandy beaches is strongly affected by concurrent variations in morphodynamics and salinity. However, as in other ecosystems, different groups of species may exhibit contrasting patterns in response to these environmental variables ...

Analytic mode matching for a circular dissipative silencer containing mean flow and a perforated pipe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
An analytic mode matching scheme that includes higher order modes is developed for a straight-through circular dissipative silencer. Uniform mean flow is added to the central airway and a concentric perforated screen separates the mean flow from a bulk ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Paclitaxel induces NM2‐dependent cellular contraction through GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and RhoA/ROCK activation in cancer cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

Mode-matching without root-finding: Application to a dissipative silencer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This article presents an analytic mode-matching approach suitable for modelling the propagation of sound in a two-dimensional, three-part, ducting system.

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.
