Motions in myoglobin
… to enter the protein to bind at the heme iron. Motions within the protein are necessary for the protein to function. Pressure release and flash photolysis experiments help characterize some of these protein motions. Sperm whale carbonmonoxymyoglobin exhibits three spectroscopically …

Investigation of cranking motions
… standard that can be applied directly to the motions used in performing the task. We would then have a unit of measure with no more reason for objection than there might be today by someone who thought the yard should be somewhat longer or somewhat shorter than the accepted standard.

Tomographic measurements of barotropic motions
In 1983, continuous acoustic transmissions centered at 133 Hz and with a resolution of 60 ms were transmitted for five days from Oahu to the coast of Northern California (4000 km range). A maximum likelihood estimate of the change in acoustic travel time (based on phase) between received pulses is …

Different Motions of Rotary Instruments
… is primarily achieved through the different motions of the rotary instruments. These motions include the rotary and reciprocating technique which allows for lowered fatigue resistance, lowered compressive and tensile stress; improving the predictability and effectiveness of endodontic …

Robot Motions that Mitigate Uncertainty
This dissertation addresses the challenge of robot decision making in the presence of uncertainty, specifically focusing on robot motion decisions in the context of deep learning-based perception uncertainty. The first part of this dissertation introduces a risk-aware framework for path planning …

Current Ground Motions in Montgomery, West Liberty, and Northern Harris Counties Derived from Continuous GPS Motions
… study investigated the on-going vertical ground motions recorded by GPS and ground water level changes recorded by wells within Montgomery County, northern Harris County, and west Liberty County. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District (LSGCD), Harris …

Chaotic motions of nonlinearly moored structures
… theoretical and numerical aspects of the chaotic motions of offshore structures with nonlinear moorings. As one such example, Aoki, Sawaragi and Isaacson (1993) described the numerical simulation of the motions of a single degree of freedom system with a piecewise-linear restoring force function. …

Characterizing Erythrocyte Motions in Flowing Blood
<p>Characterizing the probabilistic motions of cells is a prerequisite for the development of a general model of transport and surface deposition of white cells and platelets (WBC/P). These phenomena differ greatly when red blood cells (RBC) are present at normal levels, but follow convective …

Physically-based animation of plant motions
The creation of realistic and lifelike plants has been a long-standing challenge in computer graphics. While signifcant progress has been made regarding the generation of plants using procedural methods, there is still a gap in understanding how to simulate their dynamics as effciently and …

Enforced Large-Scale Motions in Proteins
… pocket, thereby inducing catalysis. Spontaneous motions of isolated ATP synthase catalytic subunits are also examined. The subunits, starting from different experimentally observed conformations, perform a combination of twisting and bending motions as they move toward a common conformation, …

Vertical ship motions in shallow water
… an increased interest in the prediction of ship motions in shallow water, where the possibility of grounding becomes a problem. Theoretical equations governing the ship's motions have been formulated involving various hydrodynamic coefficients. In this thesis these coefficients have been found …

Electronic signatures of large amplitude motions
In this thesis, I demonstrate that measurements of electronic-structure-induced splittings in the rotational spectrum of a vibrationally excited state can identify the nature and extent of the distortion of the equilibrium electronic wavefunction and thereby provide a measure of progress along a …

Learning articulated motions from visual demonstration
Robots operating autonomously in household environments must be capable of interacting with articulated objects on a daily basis. They should be able to infer each object's underlying kinematic linkages purely by observing its motion during manipulation. This work proposes a framework that enables …

Hydrodynamics of flexible-body swimming motions
The performance and agility of fish swimming motions have intrigued both biologists and fluid mechanicians for many years. Both have endeavored to understand the mechanics of fish swimming and to resolve the paradoxical observations surrounding the performance of fish, yet the unsteady …
