Spider silk thread as a fiber optic chemical sensor
Several research teams have recently highlighted how silk can be used as an optical material. Through a regeneration process, it is possible to obtain silk films made from fibers of silk cocoons, by casting a silk fibron solution on an appropriate surface. These transparent films have been used tomake optical devices such as diffraction gratings, phase masks, and photonic crystal lattices.1 Our...
متن کاملHierarchical chain model of spider capture silk elasticity.
Spider capture silk is a biomaterial with both high strength and high elasticity, but the structural design principle underlying these remarkable properties is still unknown. It was revealed recently by atomic force microscopy that an exponential force-extension relationship holds both for capture silk mesostructures and for intact capture silk fibers [N. Becker et al., Nat. Mater. 2, 278 (2003...
متن کاملThread Thread Thread Thread Thread Thread �
We present the design and implementation of Arachne, a threads system that can be interfaced with a communications library for multi-threaded distributed computations. In particular, Arachne supports thread migration between heterogeneous platforms, with dynamic stack size management and recursive thread functions. Arachne is eecient, exible and portable | it is based entirely on C and C++. To ...
متن کاملStrength and elasticity of niobium under high pressure
High purity polycrystalline niobium contained in boron-epoxy gasket was compressed in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). The pressure was increased in steps of 3 GPa and the diffraction patterns recorded at each pressure with the incident x-ray beam perpendicular to the load axis of the DAC (radial diffraction). The maximum pressure reached was 37.6 GPa. The compressive strength (differential stress) ...
متن کاملRelationship between compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of High-Strength Concrete
Modulus of elasticity of concrete is frequently expressed in terms of compressive strength. While many empirical equations for predicting modulus of elasticity have been proposed by many investigators, few equations are considered to cover the entire data. The reason is considered to be that the mechanical properties of concrete are highly dependent on the properties and proportions of binders ...
