PURPOSE To evaluate retinal sheet transplants in S334ter-line-3 retinal degenerate rats by comparing visual responses recorded electrophysiologically with morphology based on light and electron microscopy. METHODS S334ter-line-3 retinal degenerate rats (n = 7) received retinal sheet transplants between postnatal days 28 and 31. The donor tissue was derived from transgenic embryonic day 19 (E1...

This research investigates the effect of post-cure time on residual stresses in laminated composites. Laminated composites were made of T300 carbon fibers and epoxy resin. The post-cure process was carried out at the constant temperature of 120 °C for 6 and 12 hours for two specimens. The slitting method was employed to determine through-thickness residual stress distribution of the composite l...

in design and optimization process of laminated composite structures, the number of layers, layer angles, stacking sequence, material types and etc should be specified. each of aforesaid parameters can be applied as a design variable. in this paper the target is to minimize the weight of laminated composite pin loaded structures. the laminated composite structures are designed based on the load...

Recently, the protective clothing field introduces the usage of composite materials taking advantage of their outstanding properties. In this paper, the multifunctional performance of hy...

A novel electro-thermal laminated ceramic composed of ceramic tile, carbon-based layer, dielectric layer, and foaming ceramic layer was designed and prepared by tape casting. The surface temperature achieved at an applied voltage of 10 V by the laminated ceramics was 40.3 °C when the thickness of carbon-based suspension was 1.0 mm and the adhesive strength between ceramic tile and carbon-based ...

The objective of the present study is to describe the results of research that has been conducted on the buckling behavior of rectangular laminated orthotropic plates that have a rectangular hole. As a result of using some geometrical holes which cause stress concentrations on laminated orthotropic plates, the analysis about the buckling coefficient of the elements become very important. This w...

The frequency dependence of ferromagnetic hysteresis and the related core losses is still an open question. From scaling relations up to space discretized simultaneous contributions resolutions, different levels accuracy in estimation these can be reached. Below a given known as quasi-static threshold, it well admitted that cycle remains unchanged. A precise evaluation this threshold fundamenta...
