DNA Bending by Steroid Receptors
Protein induced DNA bending is a common feature of many prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA binding proteins and may be important in the regulation of gene transcription. Therefore, it was of interest to more clearly examine receptor-induced DNA bending and its relationship to transcriptional …

The Bending of Wood With Steam
Based on experimentation with the steam bending of wood to curved shapes, this thesis describes my involvement with three basic aspects of the process. First is the procurement, assimilation, and construction of the equipment and apparatus necessary for the steam bending of wood. Secondly, the …

Bending and warpage of elastic plates
… different predictions with regard to bending behavior. At finite thickness, these qualitative effects persist near the limit of mid-surface isometry, and not all theories predict an isometric ground state. We discuss how certain kinematic measures that arose in early studies of rod …

On self-annihilation: bending the borrowed light
These stories attempt to capture greater meaning in narrative by employing a philosophical, though pragmatic, backbone: the idea of Harmonic Resonance, or a musical outlook of the world that acknowledges the pivotal role of light and sound. With our technological progress and the frightening amount …

Bending Boundaries: The Practice of Teacher Leadership
Teacher leadership is often an underutilized and unrealized resource in elementary schools. Teacher leadership manifests itself in a variety of ways, via formal and informal roles. This study aimed to understand the development, expression, and influence of teacher leadership in Wisconsin public …

Soft Bending Actuator for Body-Powered Application
… the fibres continuously along the axis increases bending by limiting radial expansion. As a first step, the bending concept based on variable stiffness has been validated using numerical and finite element analyses. Secondly, manufacturing a fibre-based soft actuator using materials of low Young’s …

Failure of sandwich honeycomb panels in bending
… investigates failure in sandwich panels due to bending, specifically localised buckling or wrinkling, a predominant failure mechanism for thin gauge honeycomb sandwich panels loaded in bending or compression. Over the past 60 years, considerable work has been devoted to understanding wrinkling …

The bending effect in turbulent flame propagation
… is investigated. The long-standing issue of the 'bending effect' is focused upon, which refers to the experimentally-observed inhibition of flame propagation velocity at high intensities of turbulence. Plausible mechanisms for the bending effect are investigated by isolating systematically the …

Sensing bending in a compliant biomimetic fish
… to provide sufficient information about the bending of the tail. Upon further development and use of the sensors in stiffer silicones, they could be used in a closed loop system.

Large deformation dynamic bending of composite beams
… a moderate amount of eccentricity to promote bending. The study was primarily experimental but some finite element results were obtained. Both the deformation and the failure of the beams were of interest. The static response of the beams was also studied in order to determine the difference …

Bending of a Flat Circular Plate With a Central Hole Due to Evenly Spaced Bending Moments at the Outside.
… under action of uniformly distributed radial bending moments applied over discrete zones at the outer boundary in an evenly spaced fashion. The solution was obtained from small-deflection plate theory as developed by LaGrange with the use of the boundary conditions formulated by Kirchhoff. A …
