Figure 1: Dimerization by strand swapping in classical cadherins. Two issues are addressed in this work. First, we consider how cadherins are designed to achieve strand swapping. Second, we show that ...

This PhD studentship will develop and validate performance-based circular design methods for reusable steel-timber floor systems, combining large-scale testing and advanced modelling to enable ...

Let's think of a paper sheet. If we tried to stiffen it from its primary state, it couldn't support its own weight. However, if we bend it, the sheet achieves a new structural quality. The shells act ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

Biology exquisitely creates hierarchical structures, where initiated at nano scales, are exhibited in macro or physiological multifunctional materials to provide structural support, force generation, ...

The ICD’s goal is to prepare students for the continuing advancement of computational processes in architecture, as they merge the fields of design, engineering, planning and construction. The ...
