In a fire situation, the thermal expansion of a reverse-channel supported beam causes extensive bending deformation of the connection, therefore preventing the development of significant axial stress in the beam.
In addition, extensive bending of the nanorods at the cell perimeter was revealed, as reported previously with other patterned substrates (Supporting Information, Figure S3).
Like all cetaceans, the spine of the sperm whale has reduced zygapophysial joints, of which the remnants are modified and are positioned higher on the vertebral dorsal spinous process, hugging it laterally, to prevent extensive lateral bending and facilitate more dorso-ventral bending.
Of course, if extensive DNA bending and looping are considered, the modification could reach further.
The underground miners' jobs involve extensive lifting, bending, prolonged standing, and walking in a confined space [ 19].
However, each fully formed nucleosome drastically perturbs DNA structure, and so nucleosomes are expected to exhibit some preference for sequences or sequence signatures that favor the extensive DNA bending needed to wrap DNA.
Extensive intrinsic DNA bending could increase the stress from structural deformation imposed by tight DNA packaging and the constraints related to DNA packaging represent one possible scenario to explain the absence of strong sequence periodicity found in chromosomal DNA.
The hybrid electrodes did not peel from the PET films even after extensive application of the bending test.
The Ti layer failed by cleavage mode, showing extensive plastic deformation during the bending process.
AFM tip-based three-point bending requires an extensive understanding of the tip-thin film interaction for accurate and reliable experimental studies.
