Stretchable elastomer-based electrodes are considered promising energy storage for next-generation wearable/flexible electronics requiring various shape designs. However, these elastomeric suffer from the limited electrical conductivity of current collectors, low charge capacities, poor interfacial interactions between elastomers and conductive/active materials, lack controllability. In this st...

Glycinin, basic subunit and β-conglycinin were isolated from soybean protein isolate and tested for their antimicrobial action against pathogenic and spoilage bacteria as compared to penicillin. The three fractions exhibited antibacterial activities equivalent to or higher than penicillin in the next order; basic subunit>glycinin> β-conglycinin with MIC of 50, 100 and 1000 μg/mL, respectively. ...

laterally symmetrical, the side to which the rudimentary extremity was attached being rather the larger. On its anterior and lateral aspects the trunk presented a transverse groove about its middle ; three-quarters of an inch above this groove the umbilical cord was attached, while extending upwards for about two inches beyond was a thin membrane, under which the appearance presented considerab...

Membranes enclosing capsules and biological cells undergo periodic compression and stretching due to an imparted hydrodynamic traction as they rotate in a shear flow. Compression may cause transient or permanent buckling manifested by the onset of wrinkled shapes. To study the effect of pre-compression and pre-stretching on the critical conditions for buckling, the response of an elastic circul...
