The present article investigates the elasto-thermodiffusive interactions in a transversely isotropic elastic medium in the context of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time parameter and two relation time parameters. The resulting non-dimensional coupled equations are applied to a specific problem of a half-space in which the surface is free of tractions and is subjected to time-dependent th...

In this work, the structural and magnetic properties of ingot and melt-spun Pr3Fe24.75Co2.75Ti1.5 compounds have been investigated. The structural characterization of the compounds, by X-ray powder diffraction, is evidenced for a monoclinic Nd3(Fe,Ti)29-type structure (A2/m space group). A 2-type FOMP have been observed in the magnetic AC susceptibility curves of the ingot and melt-spun compoun...

In this paper a constitutive model formulated in the framework of multi-laminate models is applied to analyze pipe-jacking processes. The multi-laminate -based models consider various integration planes to formulate the stress-strain relationship. This basic feature of the framework has the advantage that yield criteria, flow and hardening rules are formulated on planes rather than in three-dim...

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

Serratia marcescens has been detected in space habitats. To explore the influence of the space flight environment on this bacterium, we investigated the genome sequence of LCT-SM166, which was isolated after space flight and has a specific carbon source utilization pattern.

The theory of anisotropic generalized plane strain line forces and dislocation lines is embedded in three-dimensional elasticity point densities. Embedding real space achieved by slicing reciprocal using the projection-slice theorem.

We present a method for deriving shape space parameters that are consistent with immunological data, and illustrate the method by deriving shape space parameters for a model of cross-reactive memory. Cross-reactive memory responses occur when the immune system is primed by one strain of a pathogen and challenged with a related, but different, strain. Much of the nature of a cross-reactive respo...

abstract introduction: heat stress risk assessment, as a harmful agent at workplace, is essential for controlling heat strain and heat stress effectively. this study is concerned with the relationship between physiological strain index (psi) and wet bulb globe temperature index (wbgt) in women in the climate chamber . methods: this experimental study was carried out on 36 healthy females in sit...

ABSTRACT Aspergillus flavus is a soil-inhabiting fungus that frequently produces aflatoxins, potent carcinogens, in cottonseed and other seed crops. A. flavus S strain isolates, characterized on the basis of sclerotial morphology, are highly toxigenic. Spatial and temporal characteristics of the percentage of the A. flavus isolates that are S strain (S strain incidence) were used to predict pat...
