Comparison of Deflection in Two-Directional Functionally Graded Tapered Beam by G. Chandra Mohana Reddy, P. Bridjesh, B. S. Reddy, K. V. K. Reddy

“…A fast transition between two different materials can lead to debonding, thermal stresses, residual stresses, and stress concentrations; a gradual change in material properties might mitigate these problems. This work provides a comparison of the analytical solutions for the deflections in Two Dimensional Functionally Graded Taper Beam (2D-FGTB) under a uniformly distributed load, adapting Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory. …”

Integrins in disguise – mechanosensors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as functional integrin analogues by Tarek Elhasi, Anders Blomberg

“…In addition, many important components in integrin-dependent signalling in humans are conserved in yeast; for example, Sla1 and Sla2 are homologous to different parts of human talin, and we propose that they together might be functionally similar to talin. We also propose that the yeast cell wall is a prominent cellular feature involved in sensing a number of external factors and subsequently activating different signalling pathways. …”
