Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

A scanning electron microscopic studies on the podocytes of the kidneys of rat (rattus norvegicus) and blind mole rat (spalax leucodon) [PDF]

Eurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences
Aim: Blind mole rats can live in tunnels which are goosed by them underground, in environments that have quite low-oxygen ratio. Contrary most rodents, they can carry out high levels of metabolic rate under these conditions.

Naked mole-rat mortality rates defy Gompertzian laws by not increasing with age

eLife, 2018
The longest-lived rodent, the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), has a reported maximum lifespan of >30 years and exhibits delayed and/or attenuated age-associated physiological declines.

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.

Genome Stability Maintenance in Naked Mole-Rat [PDF]

Acta Naturae, 2017
The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is one of the most promising models used to study genome maintenance systems, including the effective repair of damage to DNA. The naked mole-rat is the longest lived rodent species, which is extraordinarily resistant to cancer and has a number of other unique phenotypic traits.

crisscrossing Science Episode 008: Naked Mole-rats [PDF]

, 2016
In this episode, Chris Gaiser (professor of biology at Linfield College) and Mike Crosser (professor of physics at Linfield College) discuss the fascinating qualities of the naked mole-rat, including its eusociality, long lifespan, and resistance to ...

Thermodynamic Pathways of Nonequilibrium Solidification in Wire‐Arc Additive Manufacturing Fe‐Based Multicomponent Alloy Structures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Geometry‐driven thermal behavior in wire‐arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) influences microstructural evolution during nonequilibrium solidification of a chemically complex Fe–Cr–Nb–W–Mo–C nanocomposite system. By comparing different deposits configurations, distinct entropy–cooling rate correlations, segregation, and carbide evolution are revealed ...

Adult neurogenesis and its anatomical context in the hippocampus of three mole-rat species

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
African mole-rats (family Bathyergidae) are small to medium sized, long-lived and strictly subterranean rodents that became valuable animal models as a result of their longevity and diversity in social organization.

Oncogenic senescence: a multi-functional perspective. [PDF]

, 2017
Cellular senescence is defined as an irreversible growth arrest with the acquisition of a distinctive secretome. The growth arrest is a potent anticancer mechanism whereas the secretome facilitates wound healing, tissue repair, and development.

Transcriptome sequencing and phylogenomic resolution within Spalacidae (Rodentia) [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Subterranean mammals have been of great interest for evolutionary biologists because of their highly specialized traits for the life underground. Owing to the convergence of morphological traits and the incongruence of molecular evidence, the
