In order to increase the penetration ability of tungsten fiber-reinforced Zr-based bulk metallic glasses matrix composite rod, two multi-diameter composites (MD-WF/Zr-MG) are designed. MD-WF/Zr-MG-I, diameters fiber (WF) gradually from inside outside, which is opposite in MD-WF/Zr-MG-II. Penetration experiment kinds MD-WF/Zr-MG rods into rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) steel target 1470 m/s 1630...

Homogeneous and transparent CNF films, fabricated from the (2,2,6,6tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl) oxyl (TEMPO)-modified CNF suspension, were laminated onto wood flakes (WF) based on phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin and the reinforcement potential of the material has been investigated. The focus was on the influence of CNF film lamination, relative humidity (RH), heat treatment, and anisotropic proper...

Two groups of 24 Hampshire and 26 Suffolk purebred ewes each were used to study effects of cohabitation with cyclic white-faced (WF) ewes on estrous activity in June. Ewes lambed in January, February and March and had been isolated from mature rams since the previous fall breeding. From June 1 to July 2, treated (T) ewes were exposed to vasectomized rams and to 65 WF ewes; control (C) ewes were...

In this article, we first thoroughly analyze Wiener filter combined least squares based channel estimation (WF-LS) and then illustrate its limitation in high-speed mobile environments. Based on the analysis, we propose to combine WF with basis expansion model (BEM) based channel estimation to deal with channel estimation in various mobile environments, especially in high-speed cases. The expres...

In this paper, an adaptive channel estimation scheme based on the reduced-rank (RR) Wiener filtering (WF) technique is proposed for multi-band (MB) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems in multipath fading channels. This RR-WF-based algorithm employs an adaptive fuzzy-inference-controlled (FIC) filter rank. Additionally, a comparative inves...

Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Its excessive synthesis results in fibrosis of various organs. Fibrosis is a major medical problem without an existing cure. Excessive synthesis of type I collagen in fibrosis is primarily due to stabilization of collagen mRNAs. We recently reported that intermediate filaments composed of vimentin regulate collagen synthesis by sta...

The main objectives of this study were to develop jackfruit-based high fiber bread by utilizing jackfruit rind flour in bread formulation, and to characterize physical properties of produced high fibre bread. Jack fruit rind pieces were undergone few soaking and washing steps prior to get dried and milled. Obtained Jackfruit rind flour (JRF) was incorporated into wheat flour (WF) in three diffe...
