abstractbackground and purpose nowadays, the application of antioxidants and plant growth regulators has discussed for decreasing the negative effect of different stresses. ascorbic acid and sodium nitroprusside have substance caused witch the resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. to evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid and sodium nitroprusside foliar application on some traits of safflowe...

Offshore structures are subjected to dynamic environmental loads (wave and wind loads). A stress-life fatigue strength curve is proposed for tubular joints which in the splash zone area of offshore jacket structures. The Det Norske Veritas (DNV) standards given design T-curve air modified with environment-dependent parameters obtain this curve. Validity done by comparing lives experimental test...

Disordered fiber networks provide structural support to a wide range of important materials, and the combination of spatial and dynamic complexity may produce large inhomogeneities in mechanical properties, an effect that is largely unexplored experimentally. In this work, we introduce Boundary Stress Microscopy to quantify the non-uniform surface stresses in sheared collagen gels. We find loca...

Iron is required for many vital functions including oxygen transport and energy metabolism. Protective mechanisms maintain optimal iron concentration involving dynamic regulation of the transporters and iron storage proteins. In addition to these systemic regulatory mechanisms, the unique lung environment must provide detoxification from metal-induced oxidative stress and pathogenic infections....

In this paper, we develop a mechanochemical modeling framework in which the spatial-temporal evolution of receptor-ligand bonds takes place at the interface between two compliant media in the presence of an externally applied tensile load. Bond translocation, dissociation and association occur simultaneously, resulting in dynamic aggregation of molecular bonds that is regulated by mechanical fa...
