A computational framework to study neural-structural interactions in human walking
… In contrast, biomechanists prefer to focus on structural and mechanical aspects of the legged movement apparatus. We posit that studying interplay between neural co-ordination and legged biomechanics can yield crucial insight into (a) motor control and (b) human leg morphology. Physiological …

Molecular Theory of the Structure, Thermodynamics, and Miscibility of Polymer Nanocomposites
… with finite &phis;, the many body entropic interactions substantially modify the structure of the system. At low epsilonpc, nanoparticle ""imprintation"" on the polymer matrix occurs, rearranging the particles and destroying much of the fine scale structure seen at &phis; ≈ 0. The …

Functional Consequences of Rna Exosome Complex Alteration By Conformational Changes and Cofactor Binding
… species in eukaryotes. It is composed of nine structural cores and one catalytic subunit, Rrp44. Structural studies captured two different conformations of Rrp44, Rrp44<sup>ch</sup> (channel) and Rrp44<sup>da</sup> (direct-access). The Rrp44<sup>ch</sup> appears to recruit RNA substrates from …
