Abstract:
Mutations of coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) and 10 (CHCHD10) have been found to be linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and/or frontotemporal lobe dementia (FTD). CHCHD2 and CHCHD10 proteins, which are homologous proteins with 54% identity in amino acid sequence, belong to the mitochondrial coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix (CHCH) domain protein family. A series of studies reveals that these twin proteins form a multimodal complex, producing a variety of pathophysiology by the disease-causing variants of these proteins. In this review, we summarize the present knowledge about the physiological and pathological roles of twin proteins, CHCHD2 and CHCHD10, in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract:
Nesse trabalho, são investigadas as propriedades dinâmicas de modelos da mecânica estatística na criticalidade. Inicialmente, trabalhando com modelos de spin e utilizando os conceitos de persistência global e de dimensão anômala da magnetização inicial, mostramos que o modelo de Baxter-Wu não está na mesma classe de universalidade dos modelos de Potts com quatro estados e de Ising com interação de três spins em uma direção, todos bidimensionais. Na segunda parte da tese, estudamos o fenômeno de crescimento da superfície gerada pela deposição segundo as regras que definem os autômatos celulares probabilísticos propostos por Grassberger (modelos A e B). Esses dois autômatos não pertencem à classe de universalidade de Domany-Kinzel e apresentam novos expoentes críticos, cuja origem se deve à conservação de paridade. Determinamos o expoente de crescimento beta w, válido em tempos curtos, assim como os outros expoentes críticos associados ao crescimento de superfície (alfa e z). Nossas estimativas se comparam bem com os resultados obtidos a partir de razões de inteiros propostas por Jensen para os expoentes beta, ni paralelo e ni perpendicular. Finalmente, investigamos a transição de fase entre o estado helicoidal e o estado desordenado (random coil) da polialanina e do fragmento peptídico PTH(1-34), que corresponde aos resíduos 1 a 34 da região aminoterminal do hormônio das paratireóides. Nosso cálculo, que leva em conta as interações entre todos os átomos da molécula, está baseado em uma abordagem de tempos curtos. Os resultados dessa análise indicam que a transição helix-coil das polialaninas e do PTH(1-34) é de segunda ordem e apontam para uma classe de universalidade para a transição helix-coil em homopolímeros e proteínas (partindo de um estado helicoidal).<br>In this work we investigated dynamic properties of statistical mechanical models at criticality. At first, using the concepts of global persistence and anomalous dimension of initial magnetization, we showed that the Baxter-Wu model does not belong to the same universality class as 4-state Potts model and Ising with multispin interaction in one direction. In the sequence, we studied the roughening behavior generated by deposition governed by rules defined by probabilistic cellular automata proposed by Grassberger (A and B models). Those models are known do not belong to the Domany-Kinzel universality class. They are characterized by different exponents which are related to the parity conserving (PC). We estimated the growth exponent beta w, in short-time regimen, such as, other critical exponents associated to the surface growth (alpha and z). Our results are in good agreement with those expected for parity conserving universality class. At last we studied the phase transition between the completely helical state and the random coil of the polyalanine, such as, for the 34-residue human parathyroid fragment PTH(1-34). Our short-time simulations of the helix-coil transition are based on a detailed all-atom representation of proteins. The results indicate that helix-coil transition in polyalanine and PTH(1-34) is a second-order phase transition and suggest a universality class to the helix-coil transition in homopolymer and (helical) proteins.

Abstract:
Mechanics and biological function of nucleic acids are intimately coupled. The DNA double helix must be opened to allow base pairing of RNA during transcription; RNA must bend and fold in its many cellular functions. Presented in this dissertation are two investigations of mechanical deformations of nucleic acids, conducted with optical tweezers.In the introduction, the mechanical properties of DNA and RNA and their relevance to their cellular functions are introduced, to give the reader context for the results presented in the Chapters 2 and 3. This is followed by an introduction to the theory of semiflexible polymer elasticity. The optical tweezers instruments used in conducting these investigations are then presented, along with calibration procedures and a short introduction to optical trapping physics.Chapter 2 presents an investigation of the effect of downstream DNA tension on initiation by T7 RNA polymerase. A hidden Markov model is fit to force-dependent lifetimes obtained from optical tweezers experiments, allowing us to identify which steps in initiation are force-dependent and estimate rates and transition state distances. We find that 1-2 pN of tension is sufficient to turn o gene expression by causing transcription bubble collapse and destabilizing the bound state. Our force-dependence scheme and estimated transition distances provide independent supportfor the \scrunching" model of initiation.The effects of cation binding and screening on single-stranded helix formation in poly(A) RNA are presented in Chapter 3. Magnesium and calcium bind to poly(A), stabilize the helix, and change its mechanical properties. A new model of helix-coil transitions is presented and used to estimate energetics and mechanical properties.Chapter 4 presents the first fully objective algorithm for use in analyzing the noisy staircaselike data that is often produced by single-molecule fluorescence experiments. A test based on the SIC (BIC) statistic is used in conjunction with a progressive step-placement scheme to locate changepoints (steps) in noisy data. Its performance is compared to other step detection algorithms in use by biophysicists by repeating tests performed in a recent review.Experimental protocols and computer codes used in these investigations are presentedin detail in the appendices.

Abstract:
A water tank of the domestic cooling and heating unit, which has a helix coil, is used to recover the waste heat of the unit. The temperature field and the flow field in the water tank have great effects on the variation of the water temperature in it. In order to obtain the temperature distribution, the flow distribution and the influencing factors, and then obtain the changing situation of the water temperature, the temperature field and the flow field of the water tank are simulated by using Fluent. The results showed that the water temperature will change with different coil decorate. The numerical model which is created by Fluent is appropriate and could be used to improve the layout of the coil in the water tank and speed up heating.

Abstract:
Experimental studies and CFD investigations were carried out under laminar and turbulent flow regimes in isothermal steady state and non-isothermal unsteady state conditions in helical coils for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Water and glycerol-water mixture (10 and 20 % glycerol) as Newtonian fluids and dilute aqueous polymer solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC), sodium alginate (SA) as non-Newtonian fluids were used in this study. The experiments were performed for three helical coils of coil curvature ratios as 0.0757, 0.064 and 0.055 in laminar and turbulent flow regimes. For the first time, two innovative correlations to calculate Nusselt number (Nu) in terms of new dimensionless ‘M’ number, Prandtl number and coil curvature ratio under different conditions for Newtonian fluids are proposed in this paper. Third correlation of Nu vs. Graetz number (Gz) including the effects of coil curvature on heat transfer coefficient which was not considered by earlier investigators is developed based on tests conducted in laminar flow for Newtonian fluids. All these three innovative correlations developed based on experimental data which were not found in the literature. These correlations were compared with the work of earlier investigators and were found to be in good agreement. The CFD analysis for laminar and turbulent flow was carried out using the CFD package FLUENT 12.0.16. The CFD calculation results (Nui, U) for laminar and turbulent flows were compared with the experimental results, and also the work of earlier investigators was found to be in excellent agreement. Further, the effect of helix diameter on heat transfer for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids are also presented in this paper and it was observed that as helix diameter increases, overall heat transfer coefficient decreases.

Full text
Abstract:
A simple but accurate method for manufacturing helically-coiled tubes was proposed, and the manufacturing equipment and its automatic control system were designed. The main geometric parameters of helically-coiled tubes are determined exactly based on the theorem “three given points determine a circle” and the definition of the helix angle of helically-coiled tubes. The finished equipment primarily consists of the mechanical noumenon and the automatic control system. In this design, three die wheels A, B and C made of wearable steel are used to adjust the positions of the raw materials in order to determine the product geometric parameters expected in advance. Three servo motors working with precision linear sliding rheostat and PID closed-loop control functions drive the three wheels mentioned above in different directions. The parameter e determining the base circle diameter of coil diameter is obtained by adjusting the position of wheel C up and down, and the parameter e’ determining the helix angle is obtained by adjusting the relative distance between wheel B and wheel A in the helical axis direction. The whole manufacture process is automatically controlled by a piece of software compiled by Visual Basic, including the processes of baiting and cutting, installing wheels and calibration, motor controlling, bending tubes, and product inspection etc. The design parameters for manufacturing helically-coiled tubes using SUS304 stainless steel or other similar materials are tube diameters of 6–50 mm, coil diameters of 100–700 mm and helical pitches of 10–50 mm. A total of fourteen finished products were selected as random samples for inspection. The result showed that the average working velocity was about 0.6 m/min; the root mean square errors (RMSE) of coil diameter and helical pitch of finished products were 3.85 mm and 0.97 mm, respectively; and the maximum roundness error of tubes was only 0.09 mm.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the coiling and uncoiling motion of a soft pneumatic actuator reinforced with tilted helix fibers. Coiling motion can be quite useful for robotic manipulation and locomotion purposes. This research proposes and investigates a novel actuator that is inspired and derived from the unique cell wall architecture in the seed appendage of Stork’s Bill plant (Erodium Gruinum). These plant cells are reinforced by cellulose fibers distributed in a tilted helix pattern — helixes that are tilted at a certain angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cell. As a result, the seed appendage can coil and uncoil via a combination of twisting and bending. This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and testing of a soft actuator that can mimic this sophisticated motion. This actuator consists of Kevlar fiber thread wrapped around a silicon rubber body that has the shape of a tube. The tube will be capped at both ends so that it can be pressurized internally to induce motion. Once the design parameter has been chosen, the soft actuator are fabricated by 1) designing and 3D printing molds, 2) tube casting and fiber wrapping, and 3) creating the end caps for pressure sealing. Carefully executing these fabrication steps is essential because any errors could give undesired deformation. Several soft actuators prototypes are fabricated based on different design choices regarding the actuator radius, tube wall thickness, and the number of tilted helix fibers (aka. fiber coverage). Proof-of-concept tests show that these actuator prototypes can indeed exhibit a combined twisting and bending under internal pressurization: all are the necessary receipts to achieve the coiling and uncoiling motion. Result of this paper can pave the way for a new family of soft actuators capable of unprecedented and sophisticated actuation motions, which are particularly appealing for soft robot application.
