Effect of chemical composition and microstructure on the mechanical behavior of fish scales from Megalops Atlanticus
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-03-01)
This paper presents an experimental study of the composition, microstructure and mechanical behavior of scales from the Megalops Atlanticus (Atlantic tarpon). The microstructure and composition were evaluated by Scanning ...
Time dependent deformation behavior of dentin
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-04-01)
Objective The viscoelastic behavior of dentin and its ability to undergo time dependent deformation are considered to be important to oral functions and its capacity to resist fracture. There are spatial variations in the ...
Evolutionary and sequence-based relationships in bacterial AdoMet-dependent non-coding RNA methyltransferases
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2014-01-01)
Background: RNA post-transcriptional modification is an exciting field of research that has evidenced this editing process as a sophisticated epigenetic mechanism to fine tune the ribosome function and to control gene ...
Design and construction of a transducer for bite force registration.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2009-05-29)
This study describes the development of a system for quantification of human biting forces by (1) determining the mechanical properties of an epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fiber, (2) establishing the transducer's ...
Ceratocystis cacaofunesta genome analysis reveals a large expansion of extracellular phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase-C genes (PI-PLC)
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2018-01-17)
Background: The Ceratocystis genus harbors a large number of phytopathogenic fungi that cause xylem parenchyma degradation and vascular destruction on a broad range of economically important plants. Ceratocystis cacaofunesta ...
Treatment of automotive industry oily wastewater by electrocoagulation: statistical optimization of the operational parameters.
(IWA PUBLISHING, 2009-11-01)
An electrocoagulation process was used for the treatment of oily wastewater generated from an automotive industry in Medellin (Colombia). An electrochemical cell consisting of four parallel electrodes (Fe and Al) in bipolar ...
Insights into the structure and stability of the carbonic acid dimer
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2010-01-01)
In this paper we report the geometries and properties of 40 structural isomers located on the MP2/6-311++G** PES of the carbonic acid dimer. All six possible combinations of carbonic acid monomers were considered. The ...
Microsolvation of dimethylphosphate: A molecular model for the interaction of cell membranes with water
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2013-01-01)
We present an exhaustive stochastic search of the quantum conformational spaces of the (CH3O)2PO2 - + nH 2O (n = 1,2,3) systems. We uncover structural, conformational and energetic features of the problem. As in the isolated ...
Understanding microsolvation of Li+: Structural and energetical analyses
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2011-09-07)
A stochastic exploration of the quantum conformational space for the (H2O)nLi+, n = 3, 4, 5 complexes produced 32 molecular clusters at the B3LYP/6-311++G** and MP2/6- 311++G** levels. The first solvation shell is predicted ...
