Lingual papillae of wild boar and pig were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Vallate papillae appear with the typical circumvallate morphology. Their papillary bodies show conical or fungiform-like and spicule-like pseudopapillae in both animals. Taste pores were seen in the papillary grooves. Microplicae or pits are visible at high magnification. In pig and wild boar simi...

The elastic theory of a uniaxial membrane in an asymmetric environment predicts a spontaneous splay deformation. This spontaneous curvature of the membrane is discussed by the intrinsic splay of the membrane molecules (e.g. wedge shaped molecules) and their polar orientation. The chemoelastic effect if the polar orientation induced by the asymmetric environment in connection with the intrinsic ...

Abstract We consider Newton’s problem of minimal resistance, in particular we address the arising limit if height goes to infinity. establish existence solutions and lack radial symmetry solutions. Moreover, show that certain conical parts contained boundary a convex body inhibit optimality classical with finite height. This result is applied bodies considered literature, which are conjectured ...

A new species of dicyemid mesozoan is described from Octopus hubbsorum Berry, 1953, collected in the south of Bahia de La Paz, Baja California Sur, México. Dicyema guaycurense n. sp. is a medium-size species that reaches about 1,600 µm in length. It occurs in folds of the renal appendages. The vermiform stages are characterized as having 22 peripheral cells, a conical calotte, and an axial cell...

a finite element analysis is presented for sloshing and impulsive motion of liquid-filled conical tanks during lateral anti-symmetric excitation. the performed analyses led to the development of a number of charts which can be used to identify the natural frequency, the mode shapes of conical tanks for both fundamental and the cos(θ)-modes of vibration. conical tank geometry was described with ...

In this paper, the buckling of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells under uniform lateral pressure and resting on a Winkler foundation is investigated. The basic relations and governing equations have been obtained for non-homogeneous truncated conical shells. The critical uniform lateral pressures of non-homogeneous isotropic truncated conical shells with or without a Winkler fou...

We consider fretting wear due to tangential oscillations of two contacting bodies. For small oscillation amplitudes, the wear occurs only in a circular slip zone at the border of the contact area. With increasing number of cycles, the wear profile tends to a limiting form, in which no further wear occurs. Under assumption of a constant coefficient of friction, the limiting form of the wear prof...

the root pulling force as well as the amount of transferred soil have not been reported quantitatively for various sugar beet types. this study was designed to measure the amounts of transferred soil from farm and estimate the root pulling force among sugar beets populations with different root shapes at harvest time. the experiment was conducted as a split plot with a randomized complete block...

Let K be a convex body in R, i.e. a compact convex set with a non-empty interior. We say that K is origin-symmetric if K = −K. The presence of origin-symmetry is an essential assumption in various problems. Many results that hold for origin-symmetric convex bodies fail in the absence of the symmetry condition. For example, origin-symmetric convex bodies are uniquely determined by the volumes of...
