The structure of the femoral muscle of the cockroach, Leucophaea maderae, was investigated by light and electron microscopy. The several hundred fibers of either the extensor or flexor muscle are 20 to 40 micro in diameter in transverse sections and are subdivided into closely packed myofibrils. In glutaraldehyde-fixed and epoxy resin-embedded material of stretched fibers, the A band is about 4...

PURPOSE This study examined the causal relationship between attention and memory bias toward thin-body images, and the indirect effect of attending to thin-body images on women's body dissatisfaction via memory. METHOD In a 2 (restrained vs. unrestrained eaters) × 2 (long vs. short exposure) quasi-experimental design, female participants (n = 90) were shown images of thin models for either 7 ...

Discontinuous Long Fibre (DLF) composites, composed of randomly-oriented strands chopped unidirectional pre-impregnated tape, have been used in the aerospace industry to produce intricate, net-shape parts with complex features – replacing complicated metallic brackets single, lightweight parts. Carbon/PEEK DLF composites suffer from warpage problems driven by several factors including their hig...
