Dataset of the experimental behavior of an asymmetric self-centering dissipative device.

ABSTRACT: The paper presents the whole dataset obtained during an experimental test campaign executed on the prototype of a new re-centering dissipative device, characterized by an asymmetric behavior, for the seismic protection of buildings. The experimental tests were performed on two different configurations: on the single prototype of the device (configuration 1) and one in which two prototypes are placed within a steel frame in an inverted V bracings configuration (configuration 2). The experimental tests were executed in displacement control, applying cyclic loading histories. Data are mainly reported in terms of force-displacement cyclic curves for the single prototype in the configuration 1 and for the whole braced system in the configuration 2.

Asymmetric division through a reduction of microtubule centering forces.

Project description:Asymmetric divisions are essential for the generation of cell fate and size diversity. They implicate cortical domains where minus end-directed motors, such as dynein, are activated to pull on microtubules to decenter asters attached to centrosomes, nuclei, or spindles. In asymmetrically dividing cells, aster decentration typically follows a centering phase, suggesting a time-dependent regulation in the competition between microtubule centering and decentering forces. Using symmetrically dividing sea urchin zygotes, we generated cortical domains of magnetic particles that spontaneously cluster endogenous dynein activity. These domains efficiently attract asters and nuclei, yielding marked asymmetric divisions. Remarkably, aster decentration only occurred after asters had first reached the cell center. Using intracellular force measurement and models, we demonstrate that this time-regulated imbalance results from a global reduction of centering forces rather than a local maturation of dynein activity at the domain. Those findings define a novel paradigm for the regulation of division asymmetry.

Light-activated photodeformable supramolecular dissipative self-assemblies.

Project description:Dissipative self-assembly, one of fundamentally important out-of-equilibrium self-assembly systems, can serve as a controllable platform to exhibit temporal processes for various non-stimulus responsive properties. However, construction of light-fueled dissipative self-assembly structures with transformable morphology to modulate non-photoresponsive properties remains a great challenge. Here, we report a light-activated photodeformable dissipative self-assembly system in aqueous solution as metastable fluorescent palette. Zwitterionic sulfonato-merocyanine is employed as a light-induced amphiphile to co-assemble with polyethyleneimine after light irradiation. The formed spherical nanoparticles spontaneously transform into cuboid ones in the dark with simultaneous variation of the particle sizes. Then the two kinds of nanoparticles can reversibly interconvert to each other by periodical light irradiation and thermal relaxation. Furthermore, after loading different fluorophores exhibiting red, green, blue emissions and their mixtures, all these fluorescent dissipative deformable nanoparticles display time-dependent fluorescence variation with wide range of colors. Owing to the excellent performance of photodeformable dissipative assembly platform, the light-controlled fluorescence has achieved a 358-fold enhancement. Therefore, exposing the nanoparticles loaded with fluorophores to light in a spatially controlled manner allows us to draw multicolored fluorescent images that spontaneously disappeared after a specific period of time.

Asymmetric Lipid Membranes under Shear Flows: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Study.

Project description:We investigate the phase behavior of the asymmetric lipid membranes under shear flows, using the dissipative particle dynamics simulation. Two cases, the weak and strong shear flows, are considered for the asymmetric lipid microstructures. Three typical asymmetric structures, the membranes, tubes, and vesicle, are included in the phase diagrams, where the effect of two different types of lipid chain length on the formation of asymmetric membranes is evaluated. The dynamic processes are demonstrated for the asymmetric membranes by calculating the average radius of gyration and shape factor. The result indicates that different shear flows will affect the shape of the second type of lipid molecules; the shape of the first type of lipid molecules is more stable than that of the second type of lipid molecules. The mechanical properties are investigated for the asymmetric membranes by analyzing the interface tension. The results reveal an absolute pressure at the junctions of different types of particles under the weak shear flow; the other positions are almost in a state of no pressure; there is almost no pressure inside the asymmetric lipid membrane structure under the strong shear flow. The findings will help us to understand the potential applications of asymmetric lipid microstructures in the biological and medical fields.

Asymmetric self-renewal associated (ASRA) genes

Project description:Cell lines geneticially engineered to undergo conditional asymmetric self-renewal were used to identify genes whose expression is asymmetric self-renewal associated (ASRA). Non-random sister chromatid segregation occurs concordantly with asymmetric self-renewal in these cell lines. Asymmetric self-renewal occurs when murine embryo fibroblasts that are otherwise p53-null are induced to express physiological levels of wildtype p53 protein (Asym). To distinguish p53-responsive genes that also require induction of asymmetric self renewal (i.e., ASRA genes) and/or non-random sister chromatid segregation for change, an additional control cell line, which continues to symmetrically self-renew (with random sister chromatid segregation) even when p53 is induced, was also compared (Symp53). This congenic cell line constitutively expresses the type II inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH II; the rate-limiting enzmye for guanine ribonucleotide biosynthesis) and, thereby, prevents p53-induced asymmetric self-renewal and non-random sister chromatid segregation. Three biological replicates of asymmetrically self-renewing cultures (Asym1-3) were compared with cultures that were symmetrically self-renewing - either because they did not express p53 (3 biological replicates, Sym1-3) or they expressed constitutive IMPDH II (i.e., not regulated by p53) as well as p53 (2 biological replicates, Symp53_1 and 2.)

Dissipative self-assembly, competition and inhibition in a self-reproducing protocell model.

Project description:The bottom-up synthesis of artificial, life-like systems promises to enable the study of emergent properties distinctive to life. Here, we report protocell systems generated from phase-separated building blocks. Vesicle protocells self-reproduce through a phase-transfer mechanism, catalysing their own formation. Dissipative self-assembly by the protocells is achieved when a hydrolysis step to destroy the surfactant is introduced. Competition between micelle and vesicle based replicators for a common feedstock shows that environmental conditions can control what species predominates: under basic conditions vesicles predominate, but in a neutral medium micelles are selected for via a mechanism which inhibits vesicle formation. Finally, the protocells enable orthogonal reactivity by catalysing in situ formation of an amphiphilic organocatalyst, which after incorporation into the vesicle bilayer enantioselectively forms a secondary product.

Dataset on the cyclic experimental behavior of Steel frames with Reinforced Concrete infill Walls.

Project description:This paper presents the experimental data on the cyclic behavior of Steel frames with Reinforced Concrete infill Walls (SRCW). Two specimens, characterized by a different shear studs distribution, have been tested: the first one is provided with shear studs positioned only in the four corners of the steel frame; the second one presents shear studs all distributed along the perimeter of the steel frame except for the zone of the dissipative fuses. The overall setup, loading protocol, collapse mechanisms, force-displacement curves for both the whole system and the main single components are described for the two tested prototypes.

Dataset on the durability behavior of palm oil fuel ash self compacting concrete.

Project description:Datasets contained in this article are outcomes of the durability properties carried out on Palm Oil Fuel Ash (POFA) concrete specimens to determine the effect of acid attack, Sulphate resistance, water absorption and rapid chloride permeability. Specimens were immersed in 1% hydrochloric acid (H2SO4) solution, 5% sodium Sulphate for 28, 56 and 90 days and different exposure conditions. The dataset helps the readers to understand and evaluate the potential of POFA though a waste material can be used as a replacement of Portland cement in having durability properties at an acceptable range.

Quantum behavior of the Duffing oscillator at the dissipative phase transition.

Project description:The non-deterministic behavior of the Duffing oscillator is classically attributed to the coexistence of two steady states in a double-well potential. However, this interpretation fails in the quantum-mechanical perspective which predicts a single unique steady state. Here, we measure the non-equilibrium dynamics of a superconducting Duffing oscillator and experimentally reconcile the classical and quantum descriptions as indicated by the Liouvillian spectral theory. We demonstrate that the two classically regarded steady states are in fact quantum metastable states. They have a remarkably long lifetime but must eventually relax into the single unique steady state allowed by quantum mechanics. By engineering their lifetime, we observe a first-order dissipative phase transition and reveal the two distinct phases by quantum state tomography. Our results reveal a smooth quantum state evolution behind a sudden dissipative phase transition and form an essential step towards understanding the intriguing phenomena in driven-dissipative systems.

The fabrication of a supra-amphiphile for dissipative self-assembly.

Project description:Dissipative self-assembly is a challenging but attractive field of supramolecular science, because it generally concerns complex systems but is more close to the self-assembly of living bodies. In this article, we realized dissipative self-assembly by coupling a supra-amphiphile with a chemical oscillator. The supra-amphiphile was fabricated with iodine and a double hydrophilic block copolymer containing PEG segments, as the non-covalent interaction between PEG and iodine could turn PEG hydrophobic, leading to the formation of the supra-amphiphile. The self-assembly and disassembly of the supra-amphiphile could be controlled by varying the concentration of iodine. Therefore, the dissipative self-assembly of the supra-amphiphile was realized when it was coupled with the IO3--NH3OH+-OH- chemical oscillator, which was able to produce iodine periodically. Meanwhile, the kinetic data of the self-assembly and disassembly of the supra-amphiphile could be estimated by the theoretical simulation of the chemical oscillations. This line of research promotes the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles one step forward from thermodynamic statics to a dissipative system, and also suggests a new strategy to investigate the kinetics of stimuli-responsive molecular self-assembly.
