Let the mid-surface of the Kirchhoff-Love plate occupy a domain flc = fl Tc, where C is a bounded domain with the smooth boundary T, and Tc is the smooth curve without self-intersections recumbent in fl (see Fig.3.4). The mid-surface of the plate is in the plane z = 0. Coordinate system (xi,X2,z) is assumed to be Descartes and orthogonal, x = xi,X2)-... 

Let C be a bounded domain with the smooth boundary L, which has an inside smooth curve Lc without self-intersections. We denote flc = fl Tc. Let n = (ni,ri2) be a unit normal vector at L, and n = ( 1,1 2) be a unit normal vector at Lc, which defines a positive and a negative surface of the crack. We assume that there exists a closed continuation S of Lc dividing fl into two domains the domain fl with the outside normal n at S, and the domain 12+ with the outside normal —n at S (see Section 1.4). By doing so, for a smooth function w in flc, we define the traces of w at boundaries 912+ and, in particular, the traces w+ and the jump [w] = w+ — w at Lc. Let us consider the bilinear form... 

FIG. 1 Self-assembled structures in amphiphilic systems micellar structures (a) and (b) exist in aqueous solution as well as in ternary oil/water/amphiphile mixtures. In the latter case, they are swollen by the oil on the hydrophobic (tail) side. Monolayers (c) separate water from oil domains in ternary systems. Lipids in water tend to form bilayers (d) rather than micelles, since their hydrophobic block (two chains) is so compact and bulky, compared to the head group, that they cannot easily pack into a sphere [4]. At small concentrations, bilayers often close up to form vesicles (e). Some surfactants also form cyhndrical (wormlike) micelles (not shown). 

The above results show that the structure of the system with the molecules self-assembled into the internal films is determined by their correlation functions. In contrast to simple fluids, the four-point correlation functions are as important as the two-point correlation functions for the description of the structure in this case. The oil or water domain size is related to the period of oscillations A of the two-point functions. The connectivity of the oil and water domains, related to the sign of K, is determined by the way four moleeules at distanees eomparable to their sizes are eorrelated. For > 0 surfactant molecules are correlated in such a way that preferred orientations... 

This box, which is self-explanatory, involves highly practiced actions in the skill-based domain. 

The most important property of the self-organized critical state is the presence of locally connected domains of all sizes. Since a given perturbation of the state 77 can lead to anything from a trivial one-site shift to a lattice-wide avalanche, there are no characteristic length scales in the system. Bak, et al. [bak87] have, in fact, found that the distribution function D s) of domains of size s obeys the power law... 

The microtubule-associated proteins MAP2 and tau both have two separate functional regions (Lewis et al., 1989). One is the microtubule-binding site, which nucleates microtubule assembly and controls the rate of elongation (by slowing the rate of assembly). The second functional domain shared by MAP2 and tau is a short C-terminal a-helical sequence that can cross-link microtubules into bundles by self-interaction. This domain has some of the properties of a leucine zipper. Likely it is responsible for the organization of microtubules into dense stable parallel arrays in axons and dendrites (Lewis et al., 1989). 

Educationists usually place the emphasis on the cognitive objectives of practical work. Of equal importance are however factors of the affective domain. Gott Mashiter (1991, p. 61) proposed that practical tasks should have within them the elements of motivation that stem from confidence in and a sense of ownership of the activity by the stndent . Motivation, however, requires not only a measnre of self-directedness by the learner but also interesting and exciting experiments (Hodson, 1996). 

Coacervation occurs in tropoelastin solutions and is a precursor event in the assembly of elastin nanofibrils [42]. This phenomenon is thought to be mainly due to the interaction between hydro-phobic domains of tropoelastin. In scanning electron microscopy (SEM) picmres, nanofibril stmc-tures are visible in coacervate solutions of elastin-based peptides [37,43]. Indeed, Wright et al. [44] describe the self-association characteristics of multidomain proteins containing near-identical peptide repeat motifs. They suggest that this form of self-assembly occurs via specific intermolecular association, based on the repetition of identical or near-identical amino acid sequences. This specificity is consistent with the principle that ordered molecular assembhes are usually more stable than disordered ones, and with the idea that native-like interactions may be generally more favorable than nonnative ones in protein aggregates.

We will assume that problem (37) is solvable for any right-hand sides (p H there exists an operator A with the domain V A ) = H. All the constants below are supposed to be independent of h. In what follows the space H is equipped with an inner product (, ) and associated norm II. T II = /i x, x ). The writing A = A > 0 means that A is a self-adjoint... 

Because of the rectangular form of the initial domain, the operators j4i and A2 are self-adjoint, positive and commutative. It is straightforward to verify the relations A1A2 = A2A1 and A1A2J/ = A2A1J/ = at all... 

After the self-assembly process, the tropoelastin molecules are enzymatically crosslinked via the lysine residues in the hydrophihc domains. In this last step of the elastogenesis, the amines of the lysine residues are enzymatically converted...
