The structure of large molecules [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysics Education, 1973
A description of the structure of a large molecule may involve a number of qualitatively different parameters. To describe an individual polymer chain it is necessary to mention such factors as the structure of the monomer unit, the type of linkage, the formation of a secondary structure and the tacticity or the type of copolymer if more than one kind ...

IDENTIFICATION OF LARGE STRUCTURES ON ORBIT

Acta Astronautica, 1989
This paper seeks to provide a brief overview of the somewhat unfamiliar concept underlying system identification especially as it applies to large flexible space structures. Having elaborated on the concept, the authors provide a detailed description of the identification process including model development, its experimental validation and final ...

The Stability of Large Structures

Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1983
A major part of this issue deals with topics that hare recently attracted the attention of CIB working group W 23. which is concerned with loadbearing walls. Beginning this section, the following paper presents an analysis of the problem of instability in large structures and develops some critical general propositions related to the phenomenon of ...

Large adaptive structures

Proceedings Intelligent Information Systems. IIS'97, 2002
Through the use of active controllers, a structure can modify its behavior during dynamic loadings. A computational model and efficient and robust parallel-vector algorithms have been developed on shared-memory multiprocessor machines for the active control of large adaptive structures subjected to dynamic loadings such as impact, wind or earthquake ...

Large scale structure

Pramana, 1999
We briefly discuss some aspects of the problem of forming large scale structures in the Universe. The basic picture that initially small perturbations generated by inflation grow by the process of gravitational instability to give the observed structures is largely consistent with the observations.

The large scale structure of the universe

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1990
Recent developments concerning the large scale structure of the universe are discussed. All seem to indicate inhomogeneities on much larger scales than previously thought. Specific observations from above the atmosphere can aid in understanding several outstanding questions, like the spatial distribution of various absorbers, the global geometry of the

Approaches to large-scale structures

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 1995
Quantitative three-dimensional (3D) maps of large-scale structures can now be routinely obtained by the use of high- or intermediate-voltage electron tomography. The recent 3D reconstructions of the mitochondrion and the Golgi apparatus highlight both the potential and the shortcomings of this technique.

The Challenge of Large-Scale Structure

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1996
The tasks that I have assumed for myself in this presentation include three separate parts. The first, appropriate to the particular setting of this meeting, is to review the basic work of the founding of this field; the appropriateness comes from the fact that W. G.

The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe

1981
An instant landmark on its publication, this book remains the essential introduction to this vital area of research. Written by one of the world's most esteemed theoretical cosmologists, it provides an invaluable historical introduction to the subject, and an enduring overview of key methods, statistical measures, and techniques for dealing with cosmic
