EFFECTS OF ADDING BRACKET JOINT ON RIGIDITY AND STRENGTH OF SPATIAL 3-ROD STRUCTURE OF BUS BODY by DENG TengShu, CHEN MingNian

“…Spatial 3-rod structure is one of the bus basic structures.Effects of the topological locations of angle brackets on the rigidity and strength of spatial 3-rod structure of bus body were discussed.The calculation by finite element calculation and experimental analysis showed that:1The structural rigidity and strength under bending loads were enhanced remarkably when the plane of angle bracket was parallel to the bending loads direction.2The structural rigidity and strength under torsion loads were enhanced remarkably when angle bracket was added at the top side of the joint between the load-carrying rod and side rod.3The most effective way to enhance the structural rigidity and strength and improve its high stress distribution was adding one angle bracket at the top side of the joint between the load-carrying rod and side rod and another angle bracket at the lateral side of the joint between the load-carrying rod and master rod（ the tenth angle bracket location）.This paper provided a valuable reference to the design of agricultural machinery and engineering structures,besides the bus body joints design.…”

Geometric Simulation Approach for Grading and Assessing the Thermostability of CALBs by B. Senthilkumar, D. Meshachpaul, R. Rajasekaran

“…Moreover, simulated thermal denaturation of CALB, a process involving dilution of hydrogen bond, significantly shielded against different intervals of energy application in mutant CALB revealing its augmentation of structural rigidity against native CALB. Finally, computational docking analysis showed an increase in the binding affinity of CALB and its substrate (triglyceride) in mutant CALB with Atomic Contact Energy (ACE) of −91.23 kcal/mol compared to native CALB (ACE of −70.3 kcal/mol). …”

An Intimate Relationship. The City, the River, and their Wor(l)ds. Echoes from New Orleans and Vicinity by Mario Maffi

“…Cet article s’intéresse à la manière dont la relation entre le fleuve Mississippi et la ville de la Nouvelle Orléans est une source d’inspiration (à la fois matérielle et métaphorique) pour la culture américaine de la fin du dix-neuvième et du début du vingtième siècle, en particulier pour des écrivains tels que Mark Twain et William Faulkner. La structure rigide de la ville (sa localisation ainsi que ses solutions architecturales et immobilières) s’oppose à la nature fluide et informe du fleuve (si imprévisible et si souvent modifiée par les pluies et les inondations) et engendre des réactions socio-culturelles et des approches stylistiques très différentes (en particulier dans la fiction réaliste et moderniste).…”
