Methods are described for the preparation of cell-wall material and flagella from Vibrio fetus. In common with certain other Gram-negative organisms V. fetus apparently possesses a three-layer wall which, it is proposed, consists of an outer lipoprotein layer, a middle lipo-polysaccharide layer, and an inner mucopeptide layer. These layers were studied chemically and by electron microscopy afte...

Left ventricular fibrosis occurs in congenital aortic stenosis. To investigate whether fibrosis is greatest in the subendocardial region, where there is presumably decreased blood flow relative to the subepicardial region, as shown in animal experiments, and whether the distribution of fibrosis in aortic stenosis differs from that in another afterload lesion with less limitation of myocardial b...

composite concrete-steel plate shear walls are the most critical resisting structural members that resist lateral and axial loads. This type of wall consisting of two steel faceplates presenting the outer skin, infill concrete and shear connectors which are used to provide the composite action of the steel faceplates with infill concrete in order to increase the strength and to reduce the local...

Formation of macromolecular lignin in ginkgo cell walls. In the lignifying process of xylem cell walls, macromolecular lignin is formed by polymerization of monolignols on the pectic substances, hemicellulose and cellulose microfibrils that have deposited prior to the start of lignification. Observation of lignifying secondary cell walls of ginkgo tracheids by field emission scanning electron m...

With the growing population and density in metropolitan areas, higher tendency to live in high-rise buildings, and increasing demand for parking lots, it seems necessary to excavate soil to construct underground spaces. During excavation work, as the height of the wall increases, special care should be taken to the wall stabilization to avoid any consequent damage including extensive property d...

To determine whether ischemia in the exercising dog is associated with preservation of subepicardial thickening relative to subendocardial thickening, 10 dogs were chronically instrumented with circumflex artery flow probes, hydraulic occluders, and pairs of ultrasonic microcrystals for determination of wall thickness in the circumflex artery distribution. One pair of crystals spanned the entir...
