General Solutions for the Statics of Anisotropic, Transversely Inhomogeneous Elastic Plates in Terms of Complex Functions

This paper develops the general solution of high-order partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern the static behavior of transversely inhomogeneous, anisotropic, elastic plates, in terms of complex functions. The basic development deals with the derivation of such a form of general solution for the PDEs associated with the most general, two-dimensional (“equivalent single-layered”), elastic plate theory available in the literature. The theory takes into consideration the effects of bending–stretching coupling due to possible un-symmetric forms of through-thickness material inhomogeneity. Most importantly, it also takes into consideration the effects of both transverse shear and transverse normal deformation in a manner that allows for a posteriori, multiple choices of transverse strain distributions. As a result of this basic and most general development, some interesting specializations yield, as particular cases, relevant general solutions of high-order PDEs associated with all of the conventional, elastic plate theories available in the literature.

We discussed a kind of singular integral equation with Hilbert kernel on open arcs lying in a period strip. By using the method of complex functions, we obtained the extended Plemelj Formula with Hilbert kernel, and based on this, we obtained the general solutions and the solvable conditions for this kind of characteristic singular integral equation with Hilbert kernel on open arcs.

Aggregation Of Platelets

SummaryThe platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa complex functions as the receptor for fibrinogen on activated platelets. The effects of two anti-GPIIb/IIIa monoclonal antibodies on platelet function were studied. These antibodies, 6C9 and C17, recognized different epitopes, which were exclusively present on the undissociated GPIIb/IIIa complex. Whereas C17 inhibited the binding of fibrinogen to platelets and platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or collagen, 6C9 caused irreversible aggregation of platelets, both in the presence and absence of extracellular fibrinogen. When incubated with unstirred (nonaggregating) platelets, 6C9 induced release of alpha and dense granule-constituents as well as binding of 125I-fibrinogen to platelets. The latter was evidently mediated in part by platelet-derived ADP, since it was inhibited to a large extent by apyrase, the ADP-hydrolyzing enzyme. F(ab’)2 fragments of 6C9 did not induce platelet-release reactions but caused (slow) aggregation of platelets in the presence of extracellular fibrinogen.These results indicate that binding of an antibody to a specific site on the platelet GPIIb/IIIa complex may cause fibrinogen-mediated aggregation. The Fc part of the platelet-bound antibody appears to be involved in the induction of platelet release.

Molecular Biomimetics

AbstractProteins, one of the building blocks in organisms, not only control the assembly in biological systems but also provide most of their complex functions. It may be possible to assemble materials for practical technological applications utilizing the unique advantages provided by proteins. Here we discuss molecular biomimetic pathways in the quest for imitating biology at the molecular scale via protein engineering. We use combinatorial biology protocols to select short polypeptides that have affinity to inorganic materials and use them in assembling novel hybrid materials. We give an overview of some of the recent developments of molecular engineering towards this goal. Inorganic surface specific proteins were identified by using cell surface and phage display technologies. Examples of metal and metal oxide specific polypeptides were represented with an emphasis on certain level of specificities. The recognition and self assembling characteristics of these inorganic-binding proteins would be employed in develeopment of hybrid multifunctional materials for novel bio- and nano-technological applications.
