Stability of structures

490
In mechanical engineering, the stability of systems under various forces is critical for designing durable and efficient structures. One fundamental way to explore these concepts is by analyzing systems like two rods connected at a pivot point, O, with a torsional spring of spring constant k at the pivot point. This system is similar in appearance to a scissor jack used to change tires on a car. In this case, the arms of the linkage (equivalent to the rods in this system) are entirely vertical,...

Biophysical and biochemical studies of interactions among membrane-embedded protein domains face many technical challenges, the first of which is obtaining appropriate study material. This article describes a protocol for producing and purifying disulfide-stabilized transmembrane peptide complexes that are suitable for structural analysis by solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other analytical...

RNA Stability

35.6K
Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

A methodology to estimate ventricular fiber orientations from in vivo images of patient heart geometries for personalized modeling is described. Validation of the methodology performed using normal and failing canine hearts demonstrate that that there are no significant differences between estimated and acquired fiber orientations at a clinically observable...

The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate the phenomenon of stability of floating vessels - the ability to self-right when rolled over to the side by some external force. Careful design of hull shapes and internal mass distribution enables seagoing vessels to be stable with low drafts (submerged depth of hull), improving vessel...

Nuclear Stability03:18

Nuclear Stability

22.9K
Protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, are packed together tightly in a nucleus. With a radius of about 10−15 meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about 10−10 meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging 1.8 × 1014 grams per cubic centimeter. If the earth’s density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth’s radius would be only about 200 meters.
To hold positively charged protons together...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Mathematical Biology
  • Control Theory

Background:

  • Stage-structured epidemic models are crucial for understanding disease dynamics.
  • Existing models often simplify infectious stages and mortality.
  • Chronic diseases with progressive severity require advanced modeling approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a generalized Susceptible-Infectious (SI) model with n infectious stages.
  • To analyze local/global stability and the observability problem.
  • To develop and compare state estimators for this model class.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a generalized SI model with stage-specific death rates.
  • Applied classical high-gain observer and extended Kalman filter.
  • Conducted numerical simulations to assess estimator performance.

Main Results:

  • Both high-gain and Kalman filter estimators exhibit exponential convergence.
  • The Kalman filter demonstrates superior robustness to noisy data.
  • The high-gain observer can suffer from significant overshooting.

Conclusions:

  • The generalized SI model effectively captures progressive disease severity.
  • The extended Kalman filter is a more reliable state estimator for noisy epidemic data.
  • This framework advances disease modeling and public health surveillance.
