Structures and dynamics
… where L is a relational countable language and M has no algebraicity. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the following to hold: ""For a generic substructure A of M, every automorphism f in Aut(A) extends to a full automorphism f' in Aut(M)."" From our analysis, a dichotomy …

Biomechanics and dynamics of turning
… of turning around a 90° corner for humans with and without lower-limb, below-knee amputations. I find that amputees appear to compensate for their limb loss by reducing the extent to which they shift their prosthetic limbs under their pelvis during a turn. I also find that there is no difference …

The activity and dynamics of enzymes
… activity. However, in general, the timescales and forms of the functionally important motions coupled to progress along the reaction pathway remain poorly understood. A number of biophysical studies have shown that protein dynamics undergo a temperature-dependent transition from harmonic to …

The Geometry and Dynamics of Context
… real world is. We use techniques of nonlinear dynamics to characterize the properties of real world contexts. We show that people experience highly repetitive contexts. We compute the correlation dimension of the space of contexts and show that both visual and semantic context spaces exhibit a …

Measures and dynamics of entangled states
… mixed bipartite quantum states. We derive upper and lower bounds for the concurrence of quantum states in arbitrary finite dimensions, such as to confine its actual value to a finite interval. We test these estimates for various sets of states with very satisfactory results. In particular, our …

Interactions and Dynamics of Soft Materials
… dissertation is related with polymer interfacial dynamics. As one of the center topics of polymer physics, many models have been generated to understand polymer dynamics in bulk solutions and in melt. However, to study the dynamics of polymer at the interfaces is more complicated but has …

Structure and Dynamics of Confined Molecules
… order to investigate confinement effects on the dynamics of liquid crystal thin films. No shift upon confinement was observed for the molecular tumbling and flip motions in the nematic state. However, an interesting difference was observed as a function of film thickness for a much slower …

Structure and Dynamics of Complex Fluids
… size. Anisotropy in molecular orientation and shear moduli of the confined film, which strongly depended on the relative direction between shear and the initial molecular orientation predetermined by the mica surface structure, was observed.

Properties and dynamics of hot nuclei
… nucleus. These are solved for the nuclei 4°Ca and 208Pb using a Skyrme interaction as the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. Properties of these nuclei including excitation energy, entropy, and density are investigated as a function of the temperature of the nucleus. The linear response of …

Structure and dynamics of adsorbed polymer
We study the time dependent composition and structure of macromolecules physisorbed from solution to a single solid surface. Measurements of the surface excess, segmental orientation, bound fraction, segment-surface interaction enthalpy, and adsorption-desorption kinetics were made using Fourier …

Kinematics and Dynamics of Continental Deformation
… but related studies investigating the kinematics and dynamics of such deformation. The first two studies look at the Makran subduction zone, and the third focusses on deformation in South East Tibet. The first study is an investigation of the 11 May 2013 M w 6.1 Minab earthquake which occurred at …

Spectra and dynamics of calcium monochloride
… containing two closed shell atomic ions (M2+,X-) and an unpaired electron. The spectra and dynamics of Rydberg states allows the testing of theories of electronic structure and nuclear-electronic energy exchange. This thesis presents the results of a series of experimental studies on the least …

Equilibrium and dynamics of ionic solutions
… work is motivated by the desire to understand the physical mechanism underlying the propagation of nervous influx in neurons as well as the modulation and summation of electrical signals during their progression in dendrites. The survey of existing literature shows that most studies model …

Mixing and dynamics of the Mediterranean outflow
Hydrographic and expendable current profiler (XCP) data taken during the Gulf of Cadiz Expedition in September 1988 are analyzed to diagnose the mixing and dynamics of the Mediterranean outflow. The overall structure of the outflow is consistent with that described in the historical literature …

Interactive Analysis of Protein Structure and Dynamics
Understanding the structure-function relationship of proteins such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) requires detailed information on their three-dimensional (3D) structure and dynamics. Recent progress in the structural elucidation of receptor-G protein or -arrestin complexes yields valuable …

Towards structure and dynamics of metabolic networks
This work presents mathematical and computational approaches to cover various aspects of metabolic network modelling, especially regarding the limited availability of detailed kinetic knowledge on reaction rates. It is shown that precise mathematical formulations of problems are needed i) to find …

Structure and dynamics of soluble guanylyl cyclase
… of sGC, was determined. Using AC as template and homology modeling, the 3D structure of sGC is predicted. Prior experimental work has suggested two binding modes of YC- 1. In the current investigation, molecular dynamics simulations (MD) were conducted to seek more detail of molecular …
