Folate supplementation prevents up to 70% of neural tube defects (NTDs), which result from a failure of neural tube closure during embryogenesis. The elucidation of the mechanisms underlying folate action has been challenging. This study introduces Xenopus laevis as a model to determine the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in folate action during neural tube formation. We show that kn...

this study presents exact bending solution of fully clamped orthotropic rectangular plates subjected to arbitrary loads resting on elastic foundations, based on the finite integral transform method. in this method, it is not necessary to determine the deformation function because the basic governing equations of the classical plate theory for orthotropic plates have been used. a detailed parame...

this paper presents the bending analysis of annular plates by the indirect trefftz boundary approach. the formulation for thin and thick plates is based on the kirchhoff plate theory and the reissner plate theory. the governing equations are therefore a fourth-order boundary value problem and a sixth-order boundary value problem, respectively. the trefftz method employs the complete set of solu...
