Fiber Depolymerization [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2006
Depolymerization is, by definition, a crucial process in the reversible assembly of various biopolymers. It may also be an important factor in the pathology of sickle cell disease. If sickle hemoglobin fibers fail to depolymerize fully during passage through the lungs then they will reintroduce aggregates into the systemic circulation and eliminate or ...

Fiber-diffraction Interferometer using Coherent Fiber Optic Taper [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a fiber-diffraction interferometer using a coherent fiber optic taper for optical testing in an uncontrolled environment. We use a coherent fiber optic taper and a single-mode fiber having thermally-expanded core.

Effects of long-term soluble vs. insoluble dietary fiber intake on high-fat diet-induced obesity in C57BL/6J mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although most of the proposed beneficial effects of fiber consumption have been attributed to viscous and gel-forming properties of soluble fiber, it is mainly insoluble cereal fiber and whole grains that are strongly associated with reduced diabetes ...

Fiber Diffraction without Fibers

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2013
Postprocessing of diffraction patterns of completely randomly oriented helical particles, as measured, for example, in so-called "diffract-and-destroy" experiments with an x-ray free electron laser can yield "fiber diffraction" patterns expected of fibrous bundles of the particles. This will allow "single-axis alignment" to be performed computationally,

Efficient large-scale multiplexing of fiber Bragg grating and fiber Fabry-Perot sensors for structural health monitoring applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Fiber Bragg gratings have been demonstrated as a versatile sensor for structural health monitoring. We present an efficient and cost effective multiplexing method for fiber Bragg grating and fiber Fabry-Perot sensors based on a broadband mode-locked ...

Microstructure and bonding behavior of fiber-mortar interface in fiber-reinforced concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The interfacial properties between fiber and matrix play a critical role in the overall mechanical responses of composite materials. In this paper, the glass fiber-mortar interfacial microstructure in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is visualized and ...

Direct fiber vector eigenmode multiplexing transmission seeded by integrated optical vortex emitters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Spatial modes have received substantial attention over the last decades and are used in optical communication applications. In fiber-optic communications, the employed linearly polarized modes and phase vortex modes carrying orbital angular momentum can ...

Soft capacitor fibers using conductive polymers for electronic textiles

open access: yes, 2010
A novel, highly flexible, conductive polymer-based fiber with high electric capacitance is reported. In its crossection the fiber features a periodic sequence of hundreds of conductive and isolating plastic layers positioned around metallic electrodes ...

Fiber cavities with integrated mode matching optics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In fiber based Fabry-P\'{e}rot Cavities (FFPCs), limited spatial mode matching between the cavity mode and input/output modes has been the main hindrance for many applications. We have demonstrated a versatile mode matching method for FFPCs.
