We performed a manual grid search of longitudinal and corner interactions (in the model these interactions are the dominant contributors to growth rate) to identify parameters that reproduced experimentally observed microtubule growth rates.
Occupied sites (excepting the seed) are considered available for dissociation, with the rate of dissociation given by kon*KD where KD is the affinity of interaction, which is determined by the neighbor state (number and type of lattice contacts) and obtained from longitudinal and corner affinities through thermodynamic coupling (Erickson and Pantaloni, 1981; VanBuren et al., 2002).
Bogie pivot pin Transfers tractive effort (longitudinal) and cornering (lateral) forces from the bogie to the car-body.
This was due to early buckling of longitudinal bars at corners, where the structural integrity between the UHPFRC panels was poor.
Field performance evaluation was conducted in terms of longitudinal crack, transverse crack, corner crack, spalling, and load transfer efficiency (LTE).
Pavement condition survey was conducted for project sections to monitor the performance in terms of longitudinal crack, transverse crack, corner crack, and spalling.
The following three causes appeared to be responsible for these joint-cracks and delamination: (1) load transfer at the interface between the UHPFRC tube and NSC core; (2) insufficient integrity between the UHPFRC panels; and (3) buckling of longitudinal bars at the corner locations.
(B ) The model parameterizes all six possible neighbor states for αβ-tubulin in the lattice, but the two that dominate the elongation behavior are the longitudinal (top left) and corner (top right) interactions.
The wall is not uniformly thick in all cells, and thickening may occur predominately in longitudinal strips at the corners of the cell, on the tangential (i.e., outer, toward the stem exterior) surface of the cell, or around the spaces between adjacent cells.
Closed stirrups were provided to several specimens along with longitudinal bars at all corners.
