REGIONAL COST SHARE NECESSARY FOR RANCHER PARTICIPATION IN BRUSH CONTROL [PDF]

Large-scale brush-control programs are being proposed in Texas to increase off-site water yields. Biophysical and economic simulation models are combined to estimate the effects of brush control on representative ranches in four ecological regions of the

Proteins, Processing, and Properties of Adhesive Fluid Condensates Purified from Mussels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mussels exhibit an unmatched proficiency for adhering to wet surfaces in salty environments—a remarkable ability that could inspire new biomedical and technical glues. The fluid protein condensates used to form the underwater mussel glue are extracted, reconstituted and characterized with advanced spectroscopy and nanomechanical analysis, revealing ...

Efficient Synthesis of Narrowly Dispersed Brush Polymers via Living Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization of Macromonomers [PDF]

, 2009
Various macromonomers (MMs) were efficiently synthesized through the copper-catalyzed “click” coupling of a norbornene moiety to the chain end of poly(methylacrylate), poly(t-butylacrylate), and polystyrene that were prepared using atom transfer radical ...

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Bio‐Inspired Magnetically Tunable Structural Colors from Elliptical Self‐Assembled Block Copolymer Microparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cephalopod‐inspired photonic microparticles with dynamic structural coloration are fabricated via confined self‐assembly of linear block copolymers into ellipsoids containing stacked lamellae. Embedded superparamagnetic nanoparticles enable rapid magnetic alignment, restoring vivid, angle‐dependent color.

Physically Motivated Model of a Painting Brush for Robotic Painting and Calligraphy

Robotics
Robot artistic painting and robot calligraphy do require brush models for brushstroke simulation and painting robot control. One of the main features of the brush is its compliance, which describes the relationship between the brush footprint shape and ...

A Study of Reproducibility of Brushing by a Brushing Simulator.

Nihon Shishubyo Gakkai Kaishi (Journal of the Japanese Society of Periodontology), 1998
今までブラッシングマシーンは主に歯磨剤の歯や歯冠修復材料の摩耗性に関する基礎的研究に用いられてきた。その運動の大部分は水平運動と振動であり, しかも実際のブラッシング法とは必ずしも一致していない。そこで今回我々は, 最近開発したブラツシングマシーンの再現性について, まずスクラッビング法のプラーク除去効果をもとに比較検討した。ブラッシングシミュレーターに入力するデータを得る目的で, 本学保存科医局員10名を被験者とし, 2種の試作歯ブラシ (AおよびB) を用い, 著者らの方法に準じ, 臨床実験を行った。 得られたデータをブラッシングシミュレーターに入力し, 顎模型® (D15 D-500H, (株) ニッシン, 京都) 上で上顎左側中切歯部に人工の染色剤を塗布し, ブラッシングシミュレーター上で,

A Human Kidney Tubuloid Model of Repeated Cisplatin‐Induced Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis for Drug Screening

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Replicating aging and senescence‐related pathophysiological responses in kidney organoids remains a significant challenge. Human adult renal tubular organoid, tubuloids, are successfully developed recapitulating cellular senescence that is the central pathophysiological mechanism of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
