The Fold
<p><em>the fold</em> explores what it means for a trans ex-Mormon poet to become a speaking subject through the vocation of poetry. In part a result of a year-and-a-half-long itinerancy and a lack of risk aversion, <em>the fold</em> occupies the edge of risk and play where attachments to scarcity …

Into the Fold
Into the Fold is a novel set in the early 1870s in south central Missouri. It is the story of Cora Beth Anderson, a Christian young woman facing the challenges of working a farm while raising three children entrusted to her care. Cora meets a young soldier who is struggling to recover from his …

The origin of recumbent fold nappes: The Lochalsh fold as the main example
… distribution of cleavages related to recumbent folding. Using a variety of techniques, including grain shape analysis, measurement of conglomerate pebbles, magnetic anisotropy and palaeomagnetism strain patterns have been obtained for these nappes. Different rock types control the style of …

How To Fold A Grid
How to Fold a Grid explores the body, object, and thing in relation to the grid. It explores the use of the grid as an orientation and disorientation device. It discusses the elements of the grid: point; line; square; cube by referring to queer theory, Object Oriented Ontology, the physics of time …

The kanarra fold-thrust system -- The leading edge of the sevier fold-thrust belt, southwest Utah
“The Jurassic to Eocene Sevier fold-thrust belt is the subject of continued scientific curiosity in tectonics, stratigraphy, and industry. Understanding its development in southwest Utah is hindered in part due to the multiple origins proposed for the Kanarra anticline, a major leading edge …

Protein Fold Recognition Using Adaboost Learning Strategy
… Unlike sequence-only comparison, protein fold recognition based on machine learning algorithms attempts to detect similarities between protein structures which might not be accompanied with any significant sequence similarity. It takes advantage of the information from structural and …

Kinematic Modeling of Asymmetric Vocal Fold Vibration
Asymmetries of the vocal folds and vocal fold vibration are key features underlying unilateral vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI). The knowledge of what particular asymmetries contribute to breathy voice and which asymmetries must be eliminated to re-establish normal voice will be important to …

Models of Continental Fold-Thrust Belt Salients
… (3) margin-controlled salients, which form where fold-thrust belts mold to the preexisting irregular shape of the margin; and (4) detachment-controlled salients, which form due to variations in the lateral continuity of weak glide horizons. From this work, it is clear that structural trendline …

Origin and evolution of protein fold designs
… SCOP classifications to hierarchically partition fold space and define the architectural make up of proteins. Here we use phylogenomic methods and a census of CATH structures in hundreds of genomes to study the origin and diversification of protein architectures (A) and their associated topologies …

The biomechanical properties of the human vocal fold.
… a specialist tissue structure known as the vocal folds, which under muscular control captures energy within the airflow and transfers it to a dynamic phenomena, analogous to a static fluid wave, known as the mucosal wave. This mucosal wave causes the vocal folds to open and close rhythmically, …

Highly Accurate Fragment Library for Protein Fold Recognition
… tasks in every living cell. Knowledge of protein folding has a deep impact on understanding the heterogeneity and molecular functions of proteins. Such information leads to crucial advances in drug design and disease understanding. Fold recognition is a key step in the protein structure discovery …

Vocal Fold Analysis From High Speed Videoendoscopic Data
… of videostroboscopy in evaluating the vocal fold vibratory behavior by providing much higher frame rate. HSV enables the visualization of vocal fold vibratory pattern within an actual glottic cycle. This very detailed infor-mation on vocal fold vibratory characteristics could provide valuable …

Modelling the structural behaviour of the fold-away shelter
The F-shelter underwent non-destructive monotonic load tests and destructive shake table test. The timber-framed shear walls with different sheatings; namely wood wool cement boards (wwcb) and F11 structural plywood were tested under uniaxial loading. Furthermore, finite element models (FEM) …

TARGETING FIBROBLAST-MATRIX INTERACTIONS TO TREAT VOCAL FOLD SCARRING
… as poor voice, after laryngeal injury is vocal fold (VF) scarring, which typically follows upper airway trauma or iatrogenic injury. After initial VF damage, immune cells infiltrate the wound bed and secrete various cytokines, including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), to promote tissue …

The 6-fold segmented MINIBALL module : simulation and experiment
MINIBALL, das neue Gammaspektrometer für REX-ISOLDE und andere Experimente mit radioaktiven Strahlen besteht aus 42 gekapselten, sechsfach segmentierten Germaniummodulen vom EUROBALL-Typ. Je drei Module sind in einem Kryostaten zusammengefasst (3-Cluster). Durch die hohe Effizienz des Spektrometers …

FOLD : an open platform for adding context to stories
… allow for more flexibility? This thesis presents FOLD, a publishing platform that uses visual structure to address the problem of including context alongside stories. FOLD allows writers to tell stories by weaving together different pieces of information from across the web in the form of "cards." …

Predicting the beta-trefoil fold from protein sequence data
A method is presented that uses [beta]-strand interactions at both the sequence and the atomic level, to predict the beta-structural motifs in protein sequences. A program called Wrap-and-Pack implements this method, and is shown to recognize β-trefoils, an important class of globular β-structures, …

Synthesis of contorted nanographenes via multi-fold alkyne benzannulation reactions
… a mild-reaction conditions. We employed two-fold InCl3/AgNTf2-catalyzed alkyne benzannulation reaction to afford a broad collection of highly functionalized, laterally π-expanded, [5]helicene-like naphtho[1,2-a]pyrene derivatives in moderate to very good yields. We were able to utilize this …

Volume Formula and Intersection Pairings of N-fold Reduced Products
… a semisimple compact connected Lie group. An N-fold reduced product of G is the symplectic quotient of the Hamiltonian system of the Cartesian product of N coadjoint orbits of G under diagonal coadjoint action of G. Under appropriate assumptions, it is a symplectic orbifold. Using the technique …

Possible Influences of Vowel Tongue Position on Vocal Fold Stiffness
… examine the effect of tongue position on vocal fold stiffness. New aerodynamic measures were used to estimate vocal fold stiffness during sustained productions of the vowels [i], [^], and [a]. Those measures were acoustic oscillation damping time, acoustic oscillation threshold pressure, vocal …
