But if the world's biggest economy stagnates and the second-biggest keeps its currency cheap and its capital account closed, a rigid monetary system will eventually buckle.
Making a movie is making a little society; Gomes makes one that's open, fluid, integrated, responsive, and forward-looking, whereas Lanthimos makes one that's closed, dependent, rigid, and nostalgic.
An analytical solution of the buckling problem formulated for a composite cylindrical shell with its ends closed by rigid disks and subjected to hydrostatic pressure is presented in the paper.
In women with a firmly closed and rigid cervix, dilatation can lead to considerable traumatisation of the tissue.
Since RosettaDock (Gray et al., 2003) generally changes the conformations of the component proteins, to isolate the rigid body motion we have to fit the initial protein structures to the complex and determine the closest rigid body transformation, projecting the higher dimensional motion into the rotational-translational space.
The new RHFCB is a mono-symmetric structural section made by intermittently rivet fastening two torsionally rigid closed rectangular hollow flanges to a web plate element, which allows section optimisation by selecting appropriate combinations of web and flange widths and thicknesses.
Rigid, closed cell polyurethane (PU) foams, with densities typically ranging from 0.16 0.64 g.cm-3, are widely used as standard test materials for mimicking human cancellous bone [ 1].
A third approach is to tether binding domains together such that interaction with ligand triggers open-to-closed rigid body movement, as in SNAP-tag-based semisynthetic fluorescent sensor and affinity clamp technologies.
Popper thought of life as first producing "closed behavioral programs" or rigid DNA-based behavioral programs, and then, over time, natural selection developed these closed processes into "open behavioral programs" that were less rigid and open to more diverse environments.
The analytical results are compared to those obtained experimentally on a real coupled system, consisting of a cavity enclosed by an acoustically rigid steel cylinder, closed at one end by a movable, acoustically rigid piston and at the other end by a flexible plate, clamped around its edge by the cylinder.
