Inhomogeneous "longitudinal" circularly-polarized plane waves in anisotropic elastic crystals
(S. Hirzel verlag, Ingenta Connect, 2006)Conditions on the elastic stiffnesses of anisotropic crystals are derived such that circularly polarized longitudinal inhomogeneous plane waves with an isotropic slowness bivector may propagate for any given direction of ... -
Inhomogeneous "longitudinal" plane waves in a deformed elastic material
(Springer, 2005-01)By definition, a homogeneous isotropic compressible Hadamard material has the property that an infinitesimal longitudinal homogeneous plane wave may propagate in every direction when the material is maintained in a state ... -
Inhomogeneous deformation of brain tissue during tension tests
(Elsevier, 2012)Mechanical characterization of brain tissue has been investigated extensively by various research groups over the past 50 years. These properties are particularly important for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). ... -
Inhomogeneous shear of orthotropic incompressible non-linearly elastic solids: Singular solutions and biomechanical interpretation
(Elsevier, 2009)We present a detailed study of rectilinear shear deformation in the framework of orthotropic nonlinear elasticity, under Dirichlet and mixed-boundary conditions. We take a slab made of a soft matrix, reinforced with two ... -
Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ... -
Initial stresses in elastic solids: Constitutive laws and acoustoelasticity
(2011)On the basis of the nonlinear theory of elasticity, the general constitutive equation for an isotropic hyperelastic solid in the presence of initial stress is derived. This derivation involves invariants that couple the ... -
Instabilities in elastomers and soft tissues
(Oxford Journals, 2006-09-15)Biological soft tissues exhibit elastic properties that can be dramatically different from rubber-type materials (elastomers). To gain a better understanding of the role of constitutive relationships in determining material ... -
Instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive composites
(American Physical Society, 2020-04-14)Elastic instabilities can trigger dramatic microstructure transformations giving rise to unusual behavior in soft matter. Motivated by this phenomenon, we study instability-induced pattern formations in soft magnetoactive ... -
The integral homology of PSL(2) of imaginary quadratic integers with nontrivial class group
(2011)We show that a cellular complex defined by Flöge allows us to determine the integral homology of the Bianchi groups PSL(2)(O[-m]), where O[-m] is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic number field Q [square root ... -
The integrated stress response
(EMBO Press, 2016-09-14)In response to diverse stress stimuli, eukaryotic cells activate a common adaptive pathway, termed the integrated stress response (ISR), to restore cellular homeostasis. The core event in this pathway is the phosphorylation ... -
Interaction of nanoparticles with ideal liquid-liquid interfaces
(2009)Using molecular simulations the interaction between a noncharged nanoparticle and an ideal liquid-liquid interface is studied. The free energy profile as function of nanoparticle-interface separation is determined using ... -
Interface waves in misoriented pre-stressed incompressible elastic solids
(Oxford Journals, 2004-12-17)Some relationships, fundamental to the resolution of interface wave problems, are presented. These equations allow for the derivation of explicit secular equations for problems involving waves localized near the plane ... -
Interface waves in pre-stressed incompressible solids
(Springer, 2007)We study incremental wave propagation for what is seemingly the simplest boundary value problem, namely that constitued by the plane interface of a semi-infinite solid. With a view to model loaded elastomers and soft ... -
Interference method for determination of the refractive index and thickness
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2000-09-01)The interference method for simultaneous measurement of the absolute refractive index and the thickness of plane parallel samples is developed. This method enables us to test solid (including optical glasses, crystals, ... -
International ocean discovery program expedition 372 preliminary report: creeping gas hydrate slides and Hikurangi LWD, 26 November 2017 - 4 January 2018
(Texan A&M University, 2018-03)International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 372 combined two research topics, slow slip events (SSEs) on subduction faults (IODP Proposal 781A-Full) and actively deforming gas hydrate bearing landslides (IODP ... -
Interpretive review of the acoustic borehole image logs acquired to date in the Wairakei-Tauhara Geothermal Field

Intracellular accumulation of high levels of gamma-aminobutyrate by Listeria monocytogenes 10403S in response to low pH: uncoupling of gamma-aminobutyrate synthesis from efflux in a chemically defined medium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-06)It is well established that the glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is central to the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low pH, both in acidic foods and within the mammalian stomach. The accepted model proposes that ... -
Introduction to the special issue on stability under finite deformation
(Oxford University Press, 2010)In the botanical gardens of Grenoble, France, there is small bridge, just a few metres long, made of pre-stressed concrete. The bridge dates back to 1855 and is thought to be the oldest manufactured pre-stressed structure ... -
Investigating native state fluorescence emission of Immunoglobulin G using polarized Excitation Emission Matrix (pEEM) spectroscopy and PARAFAC
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)Intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy (IFS) measurements for protein structural analysis can be enhanced by the use of anisotropy resolved multidimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES). ARMES attempts to overcome the ... -
