Mechanics of bundled semiflexible polymer networks [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 99, 088102 (2007), 2006
While actin bundles are used by living cells for structural fortification, the microscopic origin of the elasticity of bundled networks is not understood. Here, we show that above a critical concentration of the actin binding protein fascin, a solution of actin filaments organizes into a pure network of bundles.

Direct Sum Theorems From Fortification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We revisit the direct sum questions in communication complexity which asks whether the resource needed to solve $n$ communication problems together is (approximately) the sum of resources needed to solve these problems separately. Our work starts with the observation that Dinur and Meir's fortification lemma can be generalized to a general ...
