Atomic force microscopy (AFM) 1 , 2 has been used to measure the strength of bonds
between biological receptor molecules and their ligands 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . But for weak noncovalent …

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) have been widely used to attenuate undesirable vibrations in
engineering. Most optimization problems of TMD are solved by either numerical iteration …

For the many different deterministic non-linear dynamic systems (physical, mechanical,
technical, chemical, ecological, economic, and civil and structural engineering), the discovery of …

Many biomolecular bonds exhibit a mechanical strength that increases in proportion to the
logarithm of the rate of force application. Consistent with exponential decrease in bond …

There are many traditional methods to find the optimum parameters of a tuned mass
damper (TMD) subject to stationary base excitations. It is very difficult to obtain the optimum …

Short term exposure of the testis to heat causes degeneration of germ cells. However, the
mechanisms underlying this process are poorly understood. The major objectives of this study …

In this paper we present the analysis of two large-scale network file system workloads. We
measured CIFS traffic for two enterprise-class file servers deployed in the NetApp data center …

Carbohydrate–protein bonds interrupt the rapid flow of leukocytes in the circulation by
initiation of rolling and tethering at vessel walls. The cell surface carbohydrate ligands are …

Brick and object-based storage architectures have emerged as a means of improving the
scalability of storage clusters. However, existing systems continue to treat storage nodes as …
