Magic numbers in polymer phase separation -- the importance of being rigid

, 2019
Cells possess non-membrane-bound bodies, many of which are now understood as phase-separated condensates. One class of such condensates is composed of two polymer species, where each consists of repeated binding sites that interact in a one-to-one ...

Inelastic Buckling Analysis of Frames with Semi-Rigid Joints

Journal of Korean Society of Steel Construction, 2014
An improved method for evaluating effective buckling length of semi-rigid frame with inelastic behavior is newly proposed. Also, generalized exact tangential stiffness matrix with rotationally semi-rigid connections is adopted in previous studies. Therefore, the system buckling load of structure with inelastic behaviors can be exactly obtained by only ...
