in this research, the surface stress effect on the nonlocal vibration of piezoelectric square plate reinforced by single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) based on classical plate theory (cpt) and first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) is presented. the elastic properties of piezoelectric nanocomposite plate are estimated by eshelby-mori-tanaka and the extended mixture rule approaches. the ...

An accelerated micromechanics framework based on the extended Mori–Tanaka transformation field analysis (TFA) and cycle jump technique is proposed to predict homogenized response of short glass fiber-reinforced polyamide 66 composites (PA66/GF) under a large number loading cycles (> 100,000 cycles). The theory accounts for microscopic viscoelastic–viscoplastic damage mechanisms, realistic micro...

Wood xylem fiber cell consists of two main parts: a thick secondary wall and thin compound middle lamella (CML). A middle layer (S2) is the thickest layer of the secondary wall and is reinforced with fibrous polysaccharide crystals oriented more or less parallel to the fiber cell axis. The orientation angle (microfibril angle; MFA) determines the mechanical properties of the wood xylem fibers, ...

RNA interference has been described as a powerful genetic tool for gene functional analysis and a promising approach for pest management. However, RNAi efficiency varies significantly among insect species due to distinct RNAi machineries. Lepidopteran insects include a large number of pests as well as model insects, such as the silkworm, Bombyx mori. However, only limited success of in vivo RNA...

s | 43 (sleep) and molecular mechanisms involved in contextual processing deficits. Methods The evolution of functional neuroimaging studies from early studies of responses to emotional probes to recent multi-day studies of fear conditioning, extinction, renewal, and of intrinsic connectivity networks, will be discussed and novel finding presented. Parallel findings from studies using Single Pr...

in mulberry orchards in northern part of iran, thrips is a dominant pest and causing a lot of damage to the mulberry. the effect of pest on bio-chemical parameters of mulberry leaf of two varieties viz. kenmochi and ichenoise and also the effect of feeding of infested leaves on rearing performances have been studied. for the study, six plots of 200 m2 area of both the varieties were selected an...

BACKGROUND Different grading systems of arterial recanalisation have never been compared in large series of stroke patients treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT). METHODS Clinical and angiographic findings and outcome were analysed in 147 patients with M1 or M2 segment occlusion of the middle cerebral artery treated with IAT. Associations of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction ...
