EXTRACTION OF ICE SHEET LAYERS FROM TWO INTERSECTED RADAR ECHOGRAMS NEAR NEEM ICE CORE IN GREENLAND [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Accumulation of snow and ice over time result in ice sheet layers. These can be remotely sensed where there is a contrast in electromagnetic properties, which reflect variations of the ice density, acidity and fabric orientation. Internal ice layers are

Many dissimilar NusG protein domains switch between α-helix and β-sheet folds

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Folded proteins are composed of secondary structures, α-helices and β-sheets, that are generally assumed to be stable. Here, the authors combine computational prediction with experimental validation to show that many sequence-diverse NusG protein domains

Parametric Creative Design of Building Free-forms Roofed with Transformed Shells Introducing Architect’s and Civil Engineer’s Responsible Artistic Concepts

open access: yesBuildings, 2019
The article concerns a parametric description of unconventional building forms roofed with folded sheeting transformed elastically into shells. The description supports the designer in the search for attractive forms and a rational use of materials.

Research on Mechanical Properties of V-Type Folded Core Sandwich Structures

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
A folded core is a three-dimensional configuration formed by folding a flat sheet of paper. Similar to foam and honeycomb, folded cores are widely used in aerospace as the cores for sandwich structures due to their excellent mechanical properties and ...

Transformed Shell Roof Structures as the Main Determinant in Creative Shaping Building Free Forms Sensitive to Man-Made and Natural Environments

open access: yesBuildings, 2019
The article presents author’s propositions for shaping free forms of buildings sensitive to harmonious incorporation into built or natural environments. Complex folded structures of buildings roofed with regular shell structures are regarded as the

Periodic folding of viscous sheets

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2003
The periodic folding of a sheet of viscous fluid falling upon a rigid surface is a common fluid mechanical instability that occurs in contexts ranging from food processing to geophysics. Asymptotic thin-layer equations for the combined stretching-bending deformation of a two-dimensional sheet are solved numerically to determine the folding frequency as

Responsive Parametric Building Free Forms Determined by Their Elastically Transformed Steel Shell Roofs

open access: yesBuildings, 2019
The article concerns the unconventional architectural forms of buildings roofed with transformed shells made up of thin-walled steel fold sheets, and a parametric description of how they are shaped.

Swapping the Positions in a Cross-Strand Lateral Ion-Pairing Interaction between Ammonium- and Carboxylate-Containing Residues in a β-Hairpin

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Cross-strand lateral ion-pairing interactions are important for antiparallel β-sheet stability. Statistical studies suggested that swapping the position of cross-strand lateral residues should not significantly affect the interaction.
