Evaluation of cotton fiber maturity measurements

Industrial Crops and Products, 2013
Abstract Cotton fiber maturity, degree of secondary cell wall thickening relative to the perimeter, is one of the most important fiber quality and processing parameters of cotton. Immature fibers result in low dye uptake, increased fiber breakage, fabric defects, and waste.

Assessment of cellulose in bark fibers of Thespesia populnea: Influence of stem maturity on fiber characterization

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2019
Cellulose is the key constituent of natural fibers and its proportion significantly varies with the growth of the plant. Hence, a study on the influence of plant maturity on fiber properties is essential to recognize optimal fiber source. In this investigation, cellulose fibers were successfully extracted from Thespesia populnea tree barks of ...

Measuring GLUT4 translocation in mature muscle fibers

American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010
Skeletal muscle is the major tissue for postprandial glucose disposal. Facilitated glucose uptake into muscle fibers is mediated by increases in surface membrane levels of the glucose transporter GLUT4 via insulin- and/or muscle contraction-mediated GLUT4 translocation.

Functional maturation of tactile sensory fibers in the kitten

Journal of Neurophysiology, 1984
The maturation of tactile coding capacities was investigated in sensory fibers supplying the forelimb footpads in anesthetized kittens. Fibers were isolated by microdissection from the median or ulnar nerves of neonatal kittens (1st to 5th postnatal day) and kittens in the age categories 10-15, 25-30, 55-63, and 83-90 days.

Cotton Fiber Maturity by Image Analysis

Textile Research Journal, 1986
Applications of state-of-the-art image analysis techniques to measuring cotton (Gos sypium sp.) fiber maturity are reported. Individual cotton fibers arrayed longitudinally on microscope slides are optically scanned by the image analyzer. The fiber's video image is automatically broken into narrow bands for discreet measurements of pro jected fiber ...

Myelin movements in mature mammalian peripheral nerve fibers

Journal of Morphology, 1974
AbstractMature mouse and cat peripheral nerve fibers have been examined in vitro by time‐lapse photography. Some Schmidt‐Lanterman clefts which were open at the start closed later; other were seen to open and then to close, some of them more than once.

The distribution of myelinated nerve fibers in the mature opossum esophagus

Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System, 1991
Myelination of nerve fibers could be important in establishing normal esophageal peristalsis. We therefore examined the general distribution and the age of appearance of myelinated nerve fibers in the smooth-muscle part of the esophagus of the American opossum. Tissues stained with thionein and Sudan black B were examined by light microscopy.

Delay in the maturation of muscle fibers in infants with congenital hypotonia

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1978
Muscle biopsies of hypotonic children have shown delayed maturation of a fetal type of muscle fibers: subsarcolemmal halo devoid of activity for mitochondrial dehydrogenases, type II predominance and in some cases abnormal dispersion of fiber diameter. Fiber subtypes within group II were also abnormal.
