A review of constitutive models for the finite deformation response of rubbery materials is
given. Several recent and classic statistical mechanics and continuum mechanics models of …

Population viability analysis (PV A) is a process. It entails evaluation of data and models for
a population to anticipate the likelihood that a population will persist for some arbitrarily …

Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play important roles in regulating
apoptosis. A decade of research has generated a wealth of information on the signal …

The mechanism of apoptosis has been extensively characterized over the past decade, but
little is known about alternative forms of regulated cell death. Although stimulation of the …

A constitutive model is proposed for the deformation of rubber materials which is shown to
represent successfully the response of these materials in uniaxial extension, biaxial …

A resource selection function (RSF) is any model that yields values proportional to the
probability of use of a resource unit. RSF models often are fitted using generalized linear …

Most protein phosphatases have little intrinsic substrate specificity, making selective
pharmacological inhibition of specific dephosphorylation reactions a challenging problem. In …

Written by one of the field's most well known experts, the Gas Turbine Engineering
Handbook has long been the standard for engineers involved in the design, selection …

For people who are transgender, transsexual, or transitioned (trans), access to primary,
emergency, and transition-related health care is often problematic. Results from Phase I of …

Glassy polymers constitute a large class of engineering solids. In order to successfully
analyze the warm (near the glass transition temperature) mechanical processes by which …
