Cells living in geometrically confined microenvironments are ubiquitous in various physiological processes, e.g., wound closure. However, it remains unclear whether and how spatially geometric constraints on host cells regulate bacteria-host interactions
Homologous series consisted of 13 dimers (C-1 to C-18). C-1 to C-8 are only enantiotropic nematic and the rest of the dimer homologues from C-10 to C-18 are enantiotropically smectogenic in addition to nematogenic. Textures of the nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren and that of...
To compare specific surface areas of different structural shapes of bodies more accurately, we can define a parameter called aspect ratio, denoted as α, as can be seen inTable 4. Consider a piece of materials with a specific volume, we can make it into a 3D sphere, a 2D circular plate...
the shape of a drum influences its acoustic properties, the morphology of a river bed shapes underwater currents and the geometry of a protein determines the molecules with which it can interact9. The nervous system is no exception, with the rich and complex spatiotemporal ...
The method includes the steps of generating a first Delaunay complex corresponding to the first shape and a second Delaunay complex corresponding to the second shape and generating a plurality of intermediary Delaunay complexes defined by a continuous family of mixed shapes corresponding to a mixing ...
Base pairs with isosteric shapes to the usual complemen- tary Watson-Crick pairs can be obtained in three main ways: by tautomerism in one of the bases [39], by a non- natural non-polar residue complementary to a standard base [12,13,54], or by a mixture of both in some nucleotide ...
Textures of the nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren and that of the smectic phase are of the type smectic A or C. Transition temperatures and the textures were determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Thermal stability for smectic and nematic are 161.0 °...
Through detailed explicit construction of neighborhoodsS(t) in\({{\mathbb{R}}}^{3}\), DF offers an advanced geometric perspective that seamlessly integrates various unit cell properties, including angles, diameters, shapes, distortions, and overall periodicity. Mathematically, DF has invariance and ...
Correlating activities with structural parameters, in particular, for those with distinct well-defined shapes and at submonolayer loadings, can give explicit evidence for the identification of real geometric active sites of catalysts13,21,52,53. This approach was employed here to verify the reactivity...
For each of the four different shapes considered, we order the membrane configurations by the relative surface area occupied by the POPC-rich domains. Yellow rhombuses on the horizontal bars indicate measured values ofxLD. Dashed portions of the bar correspond to gaps, i.e. ranges in the area...
