Serial synchrotron-based crystallography using intense microfocused X-ray beams, fast-framing detectors and protein microcrystals held at 300 K promises to expand the range of accessible structural targets and to increase overall structure-pipeline throughputs. To explore the nature and consequences of X-ray radiation damage under microbeam illumination, the time-, dose- and temperature-depende...

The effects of heavy ion microbeams on muscle fibers isolated from mouse skeletal muscles were examined by electron microscopy. The plasma membranes of heavy ion beam-irradiated areas of muscle fibers showed irregular protrusions and invaginations. In the cytoplasm, an irregular distribution of microfilaments was found near the plasma membrane. Sarcoplasmic reticula in the irradiated regions sh...

In this study, the free vibration analysis of a functionally graded (FG) micro-beam with tapered cross-section is carried out theoretically. The beam has material distribution according to power law throughout thickness. governing equation reduced an ordinary differential for cross-sectional geometry whose width varies exponentially. Vibrations microbeams were analyzed analytically in elastic v...

Microstructures of small size are present as the core elements of many micromachines and microdevices (Li et al. 2008, 2016a, b; Rezazadeh et al. 2009; Aboelkassem et al. 2010; Cao et al. 2016; Ouakad 2016; Arani et al. 2016; Xi et al. 2016; Bourouina et al. 2016; Pasharavesh et al. 2016; Tajaddodianfar et al. 2016; Gong et al. 2016; Mukherjee et al. 2016; Tian et al. 2016; Saxena et al. 2016; ...
