The possibility to arrange and embed magnetic micro- nanoparticles in thin polymer film systems using flat magnetically patterned substrate templates is investigated. In contrast self-organized particle rows forming by applying a homogeneous field, particles adapt the field landscape of substrate's pattern prior crosslinking. Crosslinking then fixes positions polymer. process tested for composi...

In the primary visual area of macaques and other monkeys, layer 4A is a mosaic of separate tissue compartments related to the parvocellular (P) and magnocellular (M) layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus. This mosaic resembles a honeycomb, with thin walls that receive direct P inputs and cores consisting of columns of dendrites and cell bodies ascending from layer 4B, a layer that receives i...

A wideband dual-polarized aperture antenna array is presented based on elements formed by pairs of octagonal rings. The octagon ring elements are linked by capacitors and kept a defined distance from a ground plane. A broader frequency bandwidth has been achieved by placing a further layer of conductive elements above the array forming a meta-material layer. Expanded polystyrene foam is used to...

In motor cortex, long-range output to subcortical motor circuits depends on excitatory and inhibitory inputs converging on projection neurons in layers 5A/B. How interneurons interconnect with these projection neurons, and whether these microcircuits are interneuron and/or projection specific, is unclear. We found that fast-spiking interneurons received strong intralaminar (horizontal) excitati...

Laminar arrangement of neural connections is a fundamental feature of neural circuit organization. Identifying mechanisms that coordinate neural connections within correct layers is thus vital for understanding how neural circuits are assembled. In the medulla of the Drosophila visual system neurons form connections within ten parallel layers. The M3 layer receives input from two neuron types t...

Expression and the role of E- and P-cadherin in the histogenesis of the surface epidermis and hair follicles were examined using the upper lip skin of the mouse. P-cadherin is expressed exclusively in the proliferating region of these tissues, that is in the germinative layer of the surface epidermis, the outer root sheath and the hair matrix. E-cadherin is coexpressed in these layers but this ...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of layer arrangement on bending properties CLT panels made from poplar (Populus deltoides L.). A total 20 three-layer with same dimensions 1300 × 360 48 mm3 (Length, Width, Thickness) were fabricated in five configurations: 0/30/0, 0/45/0, 0/90/0, 45/0/45, and 45/45/45. The apparent modulus elasticity (MOEapp), rupture (MOR) stiffness (EIapp) values ma...

Discrete layering of high power Li4Ti5O12 and capacity SnO2 in a through-thickness multi-layered composite electrode was achieved using layer-by-layer spray printing approach order to explore new capacity-power combinations for lithium ion based electrochemical energy storage. Electrochemical behavior electrodes optimized as function the thickness discrete layer, range 2 6 µm, interleaved betwe...
