The debonding of a thin film, glued to a rigid substratum by a soft adhesive, is known to proceed through the development of a regular array of micro-cavities. We propose a simple model of this phenomenon in the framework of the classical linear fracture mechanics. To cite this article: K.C. Le, L. Truskinovsky, C. R.

The recent demonstration by Cori (1) that the hexokinase reaction is controlled by the interaction of insulin, anterior pituitary, and adrenal cortical hormones naturally raises the question as to whether the chemical action of insulin can be totally explained on the basis of this’one effect. The evidence indicating that insulin is concerned more directly with oxidative reactions in the carbohy...

Effects of different drying methods (sun drying, oven drying & rural cooker smoking) and meat size (block, flat & mince) on the nutrient content of beef was investigated with cooked cured (CC) or noncooked cured (NC) beef. Both physical and chemical assessment were done to assess the quality of meat. Organoleptically all the samples were in acceptable condition upto 120 days of storage time. Th...

This article is concerned with an oceanographic model describing the asymptotic behaviour of a rapidly rotating and incompressible fluid with an inhomogeneous rotation vector; the motion takes place in a thin layer. We first exhibit a stationary solution of the system which consists of an interior part and a boundary layer part. The spatial variations of the rotation vector generate strong sing...

It is proved that a two dimensional evolutionary Ginzburg-Landau superconductivity model is an approximation of acorresponding thin plate three dimensional superconductivity model when the thickness of the plate uniformly approaches zero Some relatedtopics such as existence ofweak solutions to the three dimensional variable thickness model and the convergence when the variable thickness...

Abstract Alternative proteins, including plant-based and cell-based meat dairy analogues, are discursively positioned as a new form of solution to the myriad issues associated with conventional animal agriculture. Animal agricultural industries across various nations have resisted this positioning in regulatory spaces by advocating for laws that restrict use terms on labels alternative proteins...
