A dynamic mode of mitotic bookmarking by transcription factors

During mitosis, transcription is shut off, chromatin condenses, and most transcription factors (TFs) are reported to be excluded from chromosomes.How do daughter cells re-establish the original transcription program? Recent discoveries that a select set of TFs remain bound on mitotic chromosomes suggest a potential mechanism for maintaining transcr

Composite Controller for Antagonistic Tendon Driven Joints With Elastic Tendons and Its Experimental Verification

In Sphere Bongs this paper, we present the dynamic modeling and controller design of a tendon-driven system that is antagonistically driven by elastic tendons.In the dynamic modeling, the tendons are approximated as linear axial springs, neglecting their masses.An overall equation for motion is established by following the Euler-Lagrange formalism

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of the Performance of Dynamic Wing for Augmenting Ship Propulsion in Head and Quartering Seas

Flapping-foil thrusters arranged at the bow of the ship are examined for the exploitation of energy from wave motions by direct conversion to useful propulsive power, offering at the same time dynamic stability and reduction of added wave resistance.In the present work, the system consisting of the ship and an actively controlled wing located in fr
