In order to study the influence of two parameters, height-thickness ratio and reinforcement ratio, on compressive performance prefabricated recycled concrete block-filled core walls, author proposes a test method for strength wall structures. this method, 9 walls dry full-fill masonry are used, measuring device arrangement points designed carry out loading test. The results showed that can sign...

Kiwi fruit is of great agricultural, botanical, and economic interest. The flower of kiwi fruit has axile placentation, which is typical for Actinidiaceae. Axile placentation is thought derived through fusion of conduplicate carpels with marginal placentation according to the traditional doctrine. Recent progress in angiosperm systematics has refuted this traditional doctrine and placed ANITA c...

The equine laminar junction plays a vital role in transferring the forces of weight-bearing between the epidermal hoof wall and the bone of the third phalanx, but the way in which it performs this function is poorly understood. Using samples from sites varying proximodistally and circumferentially around the hoof, the stress/strain behaviour of this tissue was characterised in three directions:...

Transformants and mutants with altered cell wall composition are expected to display a biomechanical phenotype due to the structural role of the cell wall. It is often quite difficult, however, to distinguish the mechanical behavior of a mutant's or transformant's cell walls from that of the wild type. This may be due to the plant's ability to compensate for the wall modification or because the...

The main load-bearing network in the primary cell wall of most land plants is commonly depicted as a scaffold of cellulose microfibrils tethered by xyloglucans. However, a xyloglucan-deficient mutant (xylosyltransferase1/xylosyltransferase2 [xxt1/xxt2]) was recently developed that was smaller than the wild type but otherwise nearly normal in its development, casting doubt on xyloglucan's role i...

Variation in equine hoof conformation between farriery interventions lacks research, despite associations with distal limb injuries. This study aimed to determine linear and angular hoof variations pre- and post-farriery within a four to six week shoeing/trimming interval. Seventeen hoof and distal limb measurements were drawn from lateral and anterior digital photographs from 26 horses pre- an...

We present the results of experimental studies and modelling evaluation bearing capacity hollow 3D-printed walls with printed shell performing functions. The was experimentally assessed depending on ratio void areas casting layers in wall structure. It established that case central loading, a can serve as similar to traditional types masonry construction without filling voids structural concret...

the combination of flexural frame and shear wall is one of the suitable systems to apply in reinforced concrete buildings. the deflections of flexural frame become limited due to the high stiffness of wall and the interaction of these systems. tall buildings even higher than fifty stories can be designed by using frame- wall systems. with respect to special behavior of flexural frame or shear w...
