The Overhang Papers: A Novel
The Overhang Papers is a dystopian novel set in 2048 within a world where women have been stripped of their freedoms by a corporatocracy dedicated to controlling the domestic labour supply. The story takes place in the wilds of Northern Saskatchewan where the protagonist, a young woman named Circe …

Structural dynamics of telomeric overhang accessibility
… drugs. Human telomeres terminate with an overhang repeat sequence that can self-fold into a G-quadruplex structure, allowing regulation of the telomere overhang. In addition, telomeric-binding proteins such as POT1 and TPP1 can sequester the overhang to regulate telomerase activity in …

A game theoretical investigation of the international debt overhang
The problem called debt overhang has recently been observed in international financial relations between a sovereign country and foreign commercial banks. The term “debt overhang” expresses the situation where a sovereign country has borrowed money from foreign banks and has been unable to fulfill …

Prediction modelling of pallet overhang on box compression strength
… strength (BCT) loss resulting from pallet overhang is critical for maintaining the integrity of corrugated packaging in global logistics. This study presents an expanded empirical analysis and predictive modelling framework to quantify the impact of pallet overhang on BCT. An integrated …

Analysis of a folded - plate concrete roof continuous with overhang
… folded plate concrete roof, continuous with overhang. The method of analysis used is that of successive iteration, i.e. balancing angle changes against internal moments and/or stresses. This method is similar to one presented by Howard Simpson - “Design of Folded Plate Roofs” - in the ASCE …

Investigating Poloidal Bias in DNA Minicircles and Overhang influence on DNA Dehybridization
… of DNA and the effects of single stranded overhangs on DNA dehybridization kinetics. The first investigation examines the extreme bending mechanics of DNA by directly probing the anisotropic nature of DNA minicircles through the detection of poloidal bias. We designed an assay using atomic …

Mechanisms That Ensure the Proper Terminal Structure of Mammalian Telomeres
<p>The telomeric single-stranded 3' overhang, a conserved feature at the ends of linear chromosomes, is thought to contribute to the important functions of end protection and telomere length homeostasis. Here, I investigated the mechanism by which the overhang is generated and maintained at …

Thermal and thermomechanical studies of beam-based powder-bed additive manufacturing processes
… stress and deformation characteristics in EBAM overhang parts for different powder sintering conditions; (5) to investigate different support structures for overhang deformation in EBAM; (6) to investigate an overhang support design method for structure optimization. The major findings are …

Selling Winners, Holding Losers: Effect on Mutual Fund Performance and Flows
… Past research has found that funds with low tax overhang garner larger inflows. Though disposition-prone funds are likely to have a lower tax overhang because they sell their winners quickly, we find that fund flows to disposition-prone funds are smaller than flows to non-disposition oriented …

On temperature measurements and analysis in electron beam additive manufacturing using near infrared thermography
… and the effects of process parameters and part overhang geometry on temperature distributions and melt-pool sizes. The major findings are summarized as follows. (1) Metallization on the glass may significantly reduce the transmission rate, and thus, measurement quality. (2) In general, the …

Development of a T-Loop Assay to Investigate T-Loop Dynamics and Structure
… genomic stability. T-loops, formed by the 3’ overhang inserting into the double strand region of the telomere, are thought to protect the ends from being recognized as double-strand breaks. An almost universal marker for cancer, telomerase, is a promising therapeutic target since its …

Finite Element Modeling of Plastic Pails when Interacting with Wooden Pallets
… of plastic pails where the deckboard gap and overhang support conditions would be isolated by using a rigid deckboard scenario. The second phase also used physical tests to investigate plastic pails but instead used flexible deckboards and used an overhang support condition and a 3.5 in. gap …

Approaches for chatter reduction in deep cavity and intricate surface milling
… quality of an intricate surface cut by a long overhang tool. The results of the metal cutting tests show that the surface quality of a finish cut at conventional milling speeds can be improved by approximately 50% by using a stepped or tapered tool. In applications with straight walls or …

Design for Additive Manufacturing: Simultaneous Optimization of Structural Integrity and Minimal Support Structures
… that directly embeds AM constraints such as overhang angles and build direction into robust TO formulations. To enhance manufacturability, two distinct methodologies are proposed. Firstly, a Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) framework introduces a three-stage robust …

Computational analysis of multielement airfoils for wind turbines
… simulated with varying flap deflection, gap, and overhang. Simulations were performed with ANSYS FLUENT, a hybrid grid Navier-Stokes solver. Computational results were obtained using the four-equation Langtry-Menter Shear Stress Transport (SST) Transition turbulence model. Lift and drag …

Experimental investigation of multielement airfoils for large-scale wind turbines
… follow the same trends with respect to gap or overhang. In general, gap size should be no smaller than 2.0% system chord to avoid degradation in performance. In addition, a large overhang can adversely affect aerodynamic performance and lead to a loss of lift but also a reduction in drag. …

Characterization of inter-genomic and telomeric G-quadruplex structures through atomic force microscopy
… 18 to 525 base pairs in length containing an overhang sequence utilized to attach the DNA to a mica surface. The overhang sequence pairs with a possible G-quadruplex forming sequence and allows for the retention and identification of the folded structure. Using a 12 base DNA probe, we …

Measurement of fabric drape using a modified drapemeter
… in order to investigate the effects of drape overhang length and different platform shapes and radii of edges on the node counts and drape values of two medium weight woven apparel fabrics and to provide a means for collecting data needed for the graphics program. Specimens were cut from two …

Defining Multiple Steps in Human Telomere End Processing
Telomere overhangs are essential for chromosome end protection and telomerase extension, but how telomere overhangs are generated is unknown. Due to the classic end replication problem, leading DNA daughter strands are initially blunt while lagging daughters are shorter by at least the size of the …
