Educational Considerations
The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the 2001 reauthorization of Title I, requires states to assess students in grades three through eight in reading and mathematics, and students in three grades in science.

Buckling Instability Of Lipid Tubules With Multibilayer Walls Under Local Radial Indentation, Yue Zhao, Linan An, Jiyu Fang
Faculty Bibliography 2000s
The mechanical behavior of self-assembled lipid tubules is an important property which determines their suitability for technological applications. We study the instability of multibilayer lipid tubules (with wall thickness t and external radius R(ext)) beyond elastic response under local radial atomic force microscopy indentations. A discontinuity in force-distance curves associated with the buckling instability of lipid tubules is observed. The critical force at which lipid tubules undergo a buckling transition linearly scales as t/R(ext). In addition, a reduced critical buckling force is found to extend a distance of similar to 1 mu m from the end of lipid tubules.

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The papers in this issue of Chemical Product and Process Modeling are substantially those that arose from special sessions on "mathematical modeling" at the 36th Australasian Chemical Engineering Conference (held between 28th September to 1st October 2008, in Newcastle, Australia).
