Characterisation of the transverse thermoelastic properties of natural fibres used in composites [PDF]
, 2010 To predict the properties of a composite, it is necessary to identify the properties of the constituent materials, especially those of the fibre. Mechanical properties of natural fibres (NF) are anisotropic and cannot be characterised in the same way as ...

The prevalence of two ‘commonly’ encountered synthetic target fibres within a large urban environment [PDF]
, 2015 A target fibre study was carried out to assess the random prevalence of two ostensibly commonly encountered synthetic fibre types; black acrylic and blue polyester.

Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of LondonAbstract The author observes, that, in the mature blood-corpuscle, there is often seen a flat filament, already formed within the corpuscle. In Mammalia, including Man, this filament is frequently annular ; sometimes the ring is divided at a certain part, and sometimes one extremity overlaps the other.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

The diameters of guinea pig auditory nerve fibres: Distribution and correlation with spontaneous rate [PDF]
, 1993 In the mammalian auditory nerve physiological recordings revealed that the spontaneous discharge rate of single auditory fibres correlates with the diversity of input-output functions which may be important for intensity discrimination (e.g., Sachs and ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

The deep sea is a major sink for microplastic debris [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 Marine debris, mostly consisting of plastic, is a global problem, negatively impacting wildlife, tourism and shipping. However, despite the durability of plastic, and the exponential increase in its production, monitoring data show limited evidence of ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
