Natural History Note Differential Response To Circularly Polarized Light By The Jewel Scarab Beetle Chrysina Gloriosa [PDF]

, 2010
Circularly polarized light is rare in the terrestrial environment, and cuticular reflections from scarab beetles are one of the few natural sources.

USING HOMOGENIZATION AND NANOINDENTATION FOR MICROFIBRIL ANGLE DETERMINATION OF SPRUCE

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2017
This paper is concerned with the evaluation of microfibril angle of spruce. The microfibril angle is defined as an inclination of microfibrils from the longitudinal axis, the direction of lumens.

Microenvironmental regulation by fibrillin-1. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Fibrillin-1 is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix molecule that sequesters latent growth factor complexes. A role for fibrillin-1 in specifying tissue microenvironments has not been elucidated, even though the concept that fibrillin-1 provides ...

Multiscale approach including microfibril scale to assess elastic constants of cortical bone based on neural network computation and homogenization method [PDF]

, 2013
The complexity and heterogeneity of bone tissue require a multiscale modelling to understand its mechanical behaviour and its remodelling mechanisms.

Buckling of sheared and compressed microfibrils [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2010
In this paper, we study the stability of an initially straight elastic fibril clamped at one end, while the other end is subjected to a constant normal compressive force and a prescribed shear displacement. We found the buckling load of a sheared fibril to be always less than the Euler buckling load. Furthermore, if the end of the fibril loses adhesion,

A Novel Genome-Wide Association Study Approach Using Genotyping by Exome Sequencing Leads to the Identification of a Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Associated Inversion Disrupting ADAMTS17 [PDF]

, 2015
Closed breeding populations in the dog in conjunction with advances in gene mapping and sequencing techniques facilitate mapping of autosomal recessive diseases and identification of novel disease-causing variants, often using unorthodox experimental ...

Nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils in spruce wood [PDF]

, 2011
The structure of cellulose microfibrils in wood is not known in detail, despite the abundance of cellulose in woody biomass and its importance for biology, energy, and engineering.

Slow dynamics in a model of the cellulose network [PDF]

, 2007
We present numerical simulations of a model of cellulose consisting of long stiff rods, representing cellulose microfibrils, connected by stretchable crosslinks, representing xyloglucan molecules, hydrogen bonded to the microfibrils. Within a broad range
