In statistical energy analysis (SEA), a complex vibro-acoustic system is represented as an assembly of coupled subsystems.
Two representative disordered nearly periodic structures are studied: a mistuned assembly of coupled oscillators and a multi-span beam with irregular spacing of the supports.
A multi-harmonic balance method is applied to analyze the occurrence of strongly localized forced vibrations in a mistuned cyclic assembly of coupled, non-linear component structures under traveling wave excitation.
In the statistical energy analysis (SEA) approach to vibration modeling, a complex system is represented as an assembly of coupled subsystems, and the method leads to the prediction of the vibrational energy level of each subsystem.
Otherwise, the resulting PG would be a mere assembly of coupled functions and not a coherent and compact representation of the way functions cooperate in supporting complex biological activities.
They have also been used to organise the analysis of the dynamics of small assemblies of coupled cells; see for example [100, 101].
An advantage of coupling the assembly of the vault complex to translation on a polyribosome is to guarantee an efficient ordered interaction of MVP chains into the stable macromolecular structure and to protect nascent MVPs from potential degradation and/or aggregation.
The Schanze and Meyer research groups have focused on the development of functional multi-chromophore light harvesting assemblies by coupling polymer assemblies to mesoporous semiconductor surfaces for understanding of the structure and dynamical phenomena relating to solar energy conversion systems.
Assemblies of strongly coupled plasmonic nanoparticles can support highly tunable electric and magnetic resonances in the visible spectrum.
Using this technique, a variety of new structures have been obtained which show natural formation of two or more quantum dots (QDs) around a quantum ring (QR) structure, providing a potential route to self-assembly of laterally coupled QDs.
At the Innovative Concept Academy, its founder, Family Court Judge Jimmie Edwards, told me that it took an "assembly of odd couples" to get his groundbreaking school up and running -- requiring all stakeholders to come out of their respective corners and work together for the sake of these kids who, without their help, would have a very tough road ahead.
