Abstract Hybrid laminates with continuous fiber reinforcement, such as glass reinforced aluminium laminate (GLARE), aramid aluminum (ARALL), or carbon (CARALL), have been developed to increase the lightweight potential and fatigue resistance applied for aircraft structures. However, use of thermosetting matrices imposes material limitations regarding recycling, malleability, manufacturing-cycle...

Prior to ICSI the cumulus-oophorous-complex of the oocyte is commonly remove with impure animal-derived hyaluronidase of low strength. The lower strength of the enzyme, the high concentration of impurities and the necessity of extensive time-dependent mechanical denudation damages of the oocytes, increases the risk of lysing the oocytes and the transfer of animal-derived pathogens. All this can...

UNLABELLED Perceptual judgments can be made on the basis of different kinds of information: state-based access to specific details that differentiate two similar images, or strength-based assessments of relational match/mismatch. We explored state- and strength-based perception in eleven right-hemisphere stroke patients, and examined lesion overlap images to gain insight into the neural underpi...

The means by which plant genotypes influence species interactions and arthropod community structure remain poorly understood. One potential, but largely unstudied mechanism is that occurring through plant genetic variation in induced responses to herbivory. Here we test whether induced responses to leaf damage and genotypic variation for induction in Asclepias syriaca influence interactions amo...
