A Sponge-dwelling Ribbon Worm, Tetrastemma carneum sp. nov. (Nemertea: Monostilifera) Collected off Ofunato, Japan

open access: yesSpecies Diversity, 2023
Monostiliferous nemerteans are mostly benthic and free-living, but a few are recognized as commensal and parasitic species. We describe Tetrastemma carneum sp. nov.

Softening of DNA near Melting as Disappearance of an Emergent Property

open access: yes, 2020
Near the melting transition the bending elastic constant, $\kappa$, an emergent property of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), is shown not to follow the rod-like scaling for small length $N$.

The Toxins of Nemertean Worms

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Most ribbon worms (phylum: Nemertea) are found in marine environments, where they act as predators and scavengers. They are characterized by an eversible proboscis that is used to hunt for prey and thick mucus covering their skin.

Model Analysis Of Worm Gear Pair System Using Finite Element Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering
Spur gear, helical gear, worm gear, and bevel gear are all important components in industrial applications such as vehicles, pushes, conveyors, elevators, bowl mill, rolling mills, ribbon blender, machine tools, aeroplanes, and windmills.

Statistical mechanics of triangulated ribbons

open access: yes, 2002
We use computer simulations and scaling arguments to investigate statistical and structural properties of a semiflexible ribbon composed of isosceles triangles.

X-ray measurements of stresses and defects in EFG and large grained polycrystalline silicon ribbons [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The Bond method was employed to measure the lattice parameter in an area of 0.4 mm in diameter of EFG Si-ribbons to an accuracy of + or - 0.00008 A. A Bond goniometer was built which included a goniostat with a special specimen holder to mount ribbons 1 ...

Identification of RAG-like transposons in protostomes suggests their ancient bilaterian origin

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2020
Background V(D) J recombination is essential for adaptive immunity in jawed vertebrates and is initiated by the RAG1-RAG2 endonuclease. The RAG1 and RAG2 genes are thought to have evolved from a RAGL (RAG-like) transposon containing convergently-oriented

Molecular engineering of chiral colloidal liquid crystals using DNA origami

open access: yes, 2017
Establishing precise control over the shape and the interactions of the microscopic building blocks is essential for design of macroscopic soft materials with novel structural, optical and mechanical properties.

Omen and Anti-omen: The Rabbinic Hagiography of the Scapegoat’s Scarlet Ribbon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This article proposes that the place and meaning of various objects among religious communities can be explored in terms of “hagiography,” that is, through the narratives constructed around sacred objects sometimes long after their physical disappearance.

Chromatin: a tunable spring at work inside chromosomes

open access: yes, 2001
This paper focuses on mechanical aspects of chromatin biological functioning. Within a basic geometric modeling of the chromatin assembly, we give for the first time the complete set of elastic constants (twist and bend persistence lengths, stretch ...
