Abstract The extended Schr?dinger equation for the Kirchhoff elastic rod with noncircular cross section is derived using the concept of complex rigidity. As a mathematical model of supercoiled DNA, the Schr?dinger equation for the rod with circular cross section is a special case of the equation derived in this paper. In the twistless case of the rod when the principal axes of the cross section are coincident with the Frenet coordinates of the centreline, the Schr?dinger equation is transformed to the Duffing equation. The equilibrium and stability of the twistless rod are discussed, and a bifurcation phenomenon is presented.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
