Deterioration Law of Mechanical Properties of Insulation Pressboard Under Multifield Coupled Ageing

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Converter transformers can experience progressive deterioration of their oil–pressboard insulation under elevated temperature, combined AC–DC electrical stress and persistent mechanical vibration. This study investigates how mechanical vibration affects the mechanical properties of insulation pressboard and clarifies the associated microscopic

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Excellent chemical and material cellulose from tunicates : diversity in cellulose production yield and chemical and morphological structures from different tunicate species

open access: yes, 2014
The high crystallinity and the high microfibrils aspect ratio of tunicate cellulose (TC) indicate TC's excellent chemical and material applications. However, its quantity and quality from different species have never been systematically reported and ...

Extraction of cellulose from bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex J.C. Wendl.) for bio-foam applications

open access: yesAdvances in Bamboo Science
Cellulose bio-foam (CBF) was developed using bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex J.C. Wendl.) cellulose with varying fibre content concentrations (0 %, 10 % and 20 %) incorporated with starch and glycerol through the evaporative drying method.

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 7

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams‐Landel‐Ferry equation, of exhaustion/fixation/adsorption data previously reported for four classes of anionic dye onto three different types of wool substrate, revealed that thermally activated dyeing/desorption behaviour is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the respective water‐

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 8

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Re‐evaluation using the Williams–Landel–Ferry equation, of exhaustion/rate of dyeing/fixation data previously reported for and acid dye, natural dye and two reactive dyes on three different types of silk substrate revealed that thermally activated dye diffusivity is governed by the thermally regulated structural relaxation times of the ...

Cellulose Microfibril Formation by Surface-Tethered Cellulose Synthase Enzymes

open access: yesACS Nano, 2016
Cellulose microfibrils are pseudocrystalline arrays of cellulose chains that are synthesized by cellulose synthases. The enzymes are organized into large membrane-embedded complexes in which each enzyme likely synthesizes and secretes a β-(1→4) glucan.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Cellulose and lignin are the regulators of seed hardness in guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit: Insights for processing and fresh consumption

open access: yesApplied Food Research
Seed hardness adversely affects consumer preference and hence is an important economic trait in guava breeding (Psidium guajava L.). In this study, seed hardness was studied in 18 guava genotypes along with other related seed, fruit, and biochemical ...
