The prediction of the chloride-induced corrosion is very important because of the durable life of concrete structure. To simulate more realistic durability performance of concrete structures, complex scientific methods and more accurate material models are needed. In order to predict the robust results of corrosion initiation time and to describe the thin layer from concrete surface to reinforc...

In order to determine the type, distribution, and structures of sensilla, the antennae of the red clover root borer, Hylastinus obscurus Marsham (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), were examined by light and electron microscopy (both scanning and transmission). Four different types of sensilla were identified in the club, and one type of chaetica was found in the scape and funicle of both ...

In this work, a 3D fully coupled hygro-elastic model is proposed. The moisture content profile primary variable of the model’s displacements. This generic exact shell allows investigations into consequences arising from and elastic fields in terms stresses deformations on different plate configurations embedded composite laminated layers. Cylinders, plates, cylindrical spherical shells are anal...

background: bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc) have been successfully employed for movement deficit recovery in spinal cord injury (sci) rat models. one of the unsettled problems in cell transplantation is the relative high proportion of cell death, specifically after neural differentiation. according to our previous studies, p75 receptor, known as the death receptor, is only expressed in bmsc in...
