Microbrush bristle remnants on the bonding surface using different adhesive systems by scanning electron microscope: An in vitro study [PDF]

Dental Research Journal
Background: The shelf life of dental restorations relies primarily on the adhesion between tooth and restorative material. Numerous dental adhesive systems have been developed to play a crucial role in enhancing this adhesion.

Dynamic Analysis of the Locomotion Mechanism in Foxtail Robots: Frictional Anisotropy and Bristle Diversity

Biomimetics
This study investigated the locomotion mechanism of foxtail robots, focusing on the frictional anisotropy of tilted bristles under the same friction coefficient and propulsion strategy using bristle diversity. Through dynamic analysis and simulations, we

Brush seal contact force theory and correlation with tests

Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2022
Brush seals are leakage performance systems that are operating against turbine shafts and bucket tips. Flexible bristle structure can compensate the rotor interference during transients, which enables closer clearance control in turbine and turbo-engine ...

Dusky-like Is Critical for Morphogenesis of the Cellular Protuberances and Formation of the Cuticle in Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata

Biology, 2023
Dusky-like (Dyl) is a transmembrane protein containing a zona pellucida domain. Its physiological roles during metamorphosis have been well explored in Drosophila melanogaster and have also been documented in Tribolium castaneum.

Spatiotemporally precise optogenetic activation of sensory neurons in freely walking Drosophila

eLife, 2020
Previous work has characterized how walking Drosophila coordinate the movements of individual limbs (DeAngelis et al., 2019). To understand the circuit basis of this coordination, one must characterize how sensory feedback from each limb affects walking ...
