The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore
without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal
processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular
wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A
beach...
The asymptotic boundary layer problem involving an axial
incompressible Newtonian fluid flow past a circular cylinder parallel
to its axis was investigated by Stewartson (1955). He addressed hiself
primarily to the Mangler's (1948) derivation, namely, the
character of the boundary layer on a circular cylinder is equivalent to
that on...
A simple matrix method for the analysis of protein circular dichroism (CD) spectra is presented and used to compute the secondary structure of globular proteins in their native and denatured states. The method uses singular value decomposition and generalized inverse algorithms, and a basis set of CD spectra for proteins...
Two spectrally different species of holotryptophanase
were obtained from fluorescence and circular dichroism
measurements. One is predominant in solutions containing
certain enzyme activating monovalent cations while the
other predominates in solutions of various inhibiting monovalent
cations. Relative magnitudes of the cation sensitive
fluorescent intensity maxima or circular dichroism
maxima are...
The association of hyaluronic acid (HA) into a double stranded
structure has been investigated by circular dichroism (CD)
spectroscopy into the vacuum ultraviolet region. The CD of HA changes
dramatically, monitoring a cooperative transition as the dielectric
constant of an aqueous solution is reduced by adding organic solvents.
This structural...
