Abstract

Blebs are spherical plasma membrane protrusions formed when the membrane detaches from the underlying cortex as a result of actomyosin contractility-powered increase of hydrostatic pressure in the cytoplasm. Different tumour cells metastasize using blebbing as alternative mode of [...]

Abstract

A finite deformation hyper-elastic membrane theory based on inter-atomic potentials for crystalline films composed of a single atomic layer is developed. For this purpose, an extension of the standard Born rule that exploits the differential geometry concept of the exponential [...]

Abstract

The objective of the present study is to assess the potential usefulness of membrane separation processes for removing CO{sub 2} and H{sub 2}S from low-quality natural gas containing substantial amounts of both these ''acid'' gases, e.g., up to 40 mole-% CO{sub 2} and 10 mole-% H{sub [...]

Abstract

Efforts this quarter have concentrated on legal agreements, including alternative field sites. Preliminary design of the bench-scale equipment continues. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is conducting this research program whose objective is to develop gas/liquid membranes for natural [...]

A new project was initiated this quarter to develop gas/liquid membranes for natural gas upgrading. Efforts have concentrated on legal agreements, including alternative field sites. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is conducting this research program whose objective is to develop gas/liquid [...]

Abstract

Productividad y reducción de costes, son actualmente dos de los principales “drivers” que motivan nuevas formas de parámetros de control en los procesos de fabricación de materiales compuestos. El sector aeronáutico [...]

Abstract

This article compares derivation methods for constructing optimal membrane triangles with corner drilling freedoms. The term “optimal” is used in the sense of exact inplane pure-bending response of rectangular mesh units of arbitrary aspect ratio. Following a comparative [...]
