Statistical mechanics of myosin molecular motors in skeletal muscles

TL;DR: It is concluded that statistical mechanics and Huxley's formalism provided a powerful combination for establishing an analytical link between chemomechanical properties of CBs, molecular partition function and statistical entropy.

A model for the thermo-oxidative degradation of polyimides

TL;DR: Karra et al. as discussed by the authors extended their previous model to include thermo-oxidative degradation of these high temperature polyimides, which is used in a variety of applications that include aerospace, automobile and electronic packaging industries, as matrices for composites, as adhesives etc.

Description of nonlinear thermal effects by means of a two-component Cosserat continuum

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for thermal processes in a conventional material that has elastic and thermodynamic properties is proposed, based on an idea to introduce a continuum with an internal structure and to consider mechanical quantities associated with the additional degrees of freedom.

Significance and experimental determination of stoichiometric number

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the concept of stoichiometric number with special reference to the applicability of the classical theorem k′ k″ = K to the relation between the forward and the backward rate constants, k ′ and k ″, and the equilibrium constant K.

Physical Basis for the Emergence of Autopoiesis, Cognition and Knowledge

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the theories of hierarchically complex living systems and the natures of knowledge in such systems from first principles regarding the behavior of dynamical systems in time, and unify theories of epistemology, physical dynamics, life, biological evolution, knowledge and social systems.
