This paper addresses the problem of high cycle fatigue resistance associated to notches and the role of short crack propagation in the fatigue notch sensitivity quantified by the notch factor. An integrated fracture mechanics ...

The notch sensitivity of three steels with similar plain fatigue limits was analysed and modelled. The analysis was made by using a model previously derived which estimated the fatigue limit of blunt notched components by ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in development and physiology. In Drosophila, Notch is activated by its Delta or Serrate ligands, depending in part on the sugar modifi cations present in its extracellular ...

The development of the mammary gland of cows during pre-weaning and puberty will condition its future productive capacity and warrants special study. In this respect, Notch signaling regulates tissue development and fate ...

Abstract Background Cellular differentiation is a critical process during development of multicellular animals that must be tightly controlled in order to avoid precocious differentiation ...

The Notch signalling pathway regulates several aspects of cellular differentiation such as T lineage commitment and effector functions on peripheral T cells; however, there is limited information regarding Notch receptor ...
