Dynamics of Elastic Containers: Partially Filled with Liquid

The motions of beverages in relocating bins represent a extensive classification of difficulties of serious functional significance in lots of technical fields. The impression of the dynamics of the liquid at the motions of the box itself is a finest and complicated point of the final topic, no matter if one considers in simple terms the rigid-body motions of the box or its elastic motions in addition.

12, which lies at the crossing of two consecutive rotations, y and a in this case, does not move during the application of such rotations. If we require pseudo-C 2 symmetry, the same must hold true during these rotations (yt,a t ) for the C2-conjugated atom (C5' on the opposite strand) and then for the joining vector t",(C5' - C5'). If the occurrence of y, a rotations in the matrix M is displayed as M= MI B8CM" (10) where Band C denote the matrices for a and y pure rotations about the x' axis, 8 the bond-angle rotation about the x' axis and the effects of all remaining rotations are included in M' and Mil, respectively.

Then the electrostatic contribution, say Gel' to the duplex free energy [16] becomes a function of water activity aw essentially through the change (decrease) of the bulk dielectric constant £ = £(a w) due to alcohol addition. This function is known to be smooth, so that in testing the B-genus stability at decreasing values of aw' no pathological terms are expected to arise from the polyelectrolyte free energy Gel. We then must search for such terms in the contributions from hydration. z n ~ F}9,dO; 'Fentative scheme for phosphate-group polarization.

Z ,. e. (6) where z denotes the unit vector along the z axis of the body axis of the original base pair. Equation (5) comes from both the Watson-Crick requirement for base pairing and diadic symmetry. We now have to take advantage from the mini-helix ring requirement (1). e. trace (MV) = mIl - m22 - m33 = -1 (7) The diadic axis d' for the next base pair (see Fig. 11) with respect to the body axis of the original base pair is then seen to be [(m ll + 1) 2 + m221 + m32-k i] 2 d' (8) Note that in the body axis of the original base pair d = <1,0,0>.
