Tannin-boron wood preservatives [PDF]
, 2011 Tannin-boron wood preservatives are alternative products to replace water-borne formulations based on copper. Interesting results in protection against fungus (pycnoporus sanguineus) were achieved with formulations based of 20% tannin solutions ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Investigation of Fire Growth and Spread in a Model-Scale Railcar Using an Applied Approach
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2016 Fire is a potential hazard in public transportation facilities such as subways or road tunnels due to its contribution to high number of deaths. To provide an insight into fire development behavior in tunnels which can serve as the basis for emergency ...

Effects of the generic nature of polymers on their fire behavior [PDF]
, 2002 International audienceFire behavior of four aliphatic and two aromatic C, H, O, N, S, and Cl atom containing polymers has been examined. Experiments were performed in three ASTM E 2058 Fire Propagation Apparatuses.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thermoelectric temperature sensors are developed that directly measure heat changes during optical‐based neural stimulation with millisecond precision. The sensors reveal the temperature windows for safe reversible neural modulation: 1.4–4.5 °C enables reversible neural inhibition, while temperatures above 6.1 °C cause permanent thermal damage.

Continuous Forest Fire Propagation in a Local Small World Network Model [PDF]
, 2013 This paper presents the development of a new continuous forest fire model implemented as a weighted local small-world network approach. This new approach was designed to simulate fire patterns in real, heterogeneous landscapes.

An Exactly Soluble Hierarchical Clustering Model: Inverse Cascades, Self-Similarity, and Scaling
, 1999 We show how clustering as a general hierarchical dynamical process proceeds via a sequence of inverse cascades to produce self-similar scaling, as an intermediate asymptotic, which then truncates at the largest spatial scales.

Motor Unit Firing Behavior in Man.
The Keio Journal of Medicine, 1994 Studies on motor unit firing behavior in man by the decomposition technique are described. The decomposition technique identifies motor unit firing with 100% accuracy at force levels of greater than 80% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). In all muscles examined, the higher the recruitment threshold of the motor unit, the lower the rate at which it ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...
