Tuning the Fragility of a Glass-Forming Liquid by Curving Space [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We investigate the influence of space curvature, and of the associated "frustration", on the dynamics of a model glassformer: a monatomic liquid on the hyperbolic plane. We find that the system's fragility, i.e. the sensitivity of the relaxation time to temperature changes, increases as one decreases the frustration. As a result, curving space provides

Estimation uncertainty for some common seismic fragility curve fitting methods
, 2022 This technical note illustrates and makes available some simple procedures to assess the estimation uncertainty for the parameters of seismic fragility curves. The considered fragility fitting methods refer to the lognormal assumption and are supposed to

Assessing the impact of ground-motion variability and uncertainty on empirical fragility curves [PDF]
, 2015 Empirical fragility curves, constructed from databases of thousands of building-damage observations, are commonly used for earthquake risk assessments, particularly in Europe and Japan, where building stocks are often difficult to model analytically (e.g.

THE DISTRIBUTION CURVE OF ERYTHROCYTE FRAGILITY [PDF]
Blood, 1949 Abstract 1. A simple method of representing erythrocyte fragility as a distribution curve of actual cellular fragility is described. 2. The importance of deciding the form of a distribution before using summarizing statistics is emphasized. 3.

Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Steel Moment Resisting Frames Isolated by LRB [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2017 Seismic isolation is an effective approach used in controlling the seismic responses and retrofitting of structures. The construction and installation of such systems are expanded nowadays due to modern improvements in technology.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Despite the importance of critical infrastructure for the effective functioning of communities, their vulnerability to tsunamis remains unstudied. This study addresses this issue by developing empirical fragility curves for infrastructure components ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
