Spatial Variation in Turf Surface Properties of Polo Pitches: A Case Study of Different Handicaps of Argentina

Animals
Polo is a high-speed equestrian sport that imposes mechanical demands on horses and turf, yet limited research has examined the functional behavior of polo playing surfaces.

Nonlinear Mechanical Response of DNA due to Anisotropic Bending Elasticity

, 2002
The response of a short DNA segment to bending is studied, taking into account the anisotropy in the bending rigidities caused by the double-helical structure. It is shown that the anisotropy introduces an effective nonlinear twist-bend coupling that can

Mechanism of Immune Response During Immunotherapy

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2004
Tumor immunology embraces an extensive array of biological phenomena that include interactions between neoplastic cells and the innate and adaptive immune response. Among immune cells, T cells have taken the center stage because they can be easily demonstrated to specifically recognize autologous cancer cells.

Tension mediated nonlinear coupling between orthogonal mechanical modes of nanowire resonators

, 2018
We study the nonlinear coupling between orthogonal flexural modes of doubly clamped InAs nanowire resonators. The two orthogonal modes are formed by the symmetry breaking and lifting of degeneracy of the fundamental mode.

The mechanical response of semiflexible networks to localized perturbations

, 2005
Previous research on semiflexible polymers including cytoskeletal networks in cells has suggested the existence of distinct regimes of elastic response, in which the strain field is either uniform (affine) or non-uniform (non-affine) under external ...

Numerical Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures with Graphene Oxide and Study of the Earthquake-Resistant Behavior of the Structures Considering the Earthquake in Turkey and Syria (2023)

Fibers
The earthquake of 6 February 2023, in Turkey and Syria, was catastrophic for many existing buildings. Various reasons have been given to try to understand what happened, since after 2000, changes in construction methods were introduced in this area, with

Thermal fluctuations, mechanical response, and hyperuniformity in jammed solids

, 2015
Jamming is a geometric phase transition occurring in dense particle systems in the absence of temperature. We use computer simulations to analyse the effect of thermal fluctuations on several signatures of the transition.
