Flower Thinning Improves Fruit Quality and Oil Composition in Camellia oleifera Abel
Horticulturae, 2022 Camellia oleifera is a woody oil tree with overlapping flower bud differentiation and fruit maturation. Therefore, mechanical harvesting of fruits leads to flower abscission.

Strain amplitude response and the microstructure of PA/clay nanocomposites [PDF]
, 2005 Polyamide 6/clay nanocomposites (PAn, where n is the mass fraction of clay) with various clay loading were prepared by melt compounding in a twin screw extruder. Exfoliation of clay in a PA matrix was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Wear mechanisms of thin dental composites
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyObjectiveIn patients with severe wear, the performance of restorative materials is challenging, especially in load-bearing thin restorations. In this study, we aimed to investigate the wear rate in thin-layered restoration (1.5 mm) compared to more bulky restorations (3 mm), where less deformation and stress within the material are expected.MethodsThe ...

Two-state shear diagrams for complex fluids in shear flow [PDF]
, 1999 The possible "phase diagrams'' for shear-induced phase transitions between two phases are collected. We consider shear-thickening and shear-thinning fluids, under conditions of both common strain rate and common stress in the two phases, and present the ...
