Bamboo is an eco-friendly material with light weight, high strength, short growth cycle and sustainability, which widely used in building structures. Engineered bamboo has further promoted the development of modern structures due to its unrestricted size shape. However, as a fiber-reinforced material, fracture damage, especially Mode I becomes most likely damage mode structure, so characteristi...

Rice grain chalkiness is a highly complex trait involved in multiple metabolic pathways and controlled by polygenes and growth conditions. To uncover novel aspects of chalkiness formation, we performed an integrated profiling of gene activity in the developing grains of a notched-belly rice mutant. Using exhaustive tandem mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics and whole-genome RNA sequencin...

Dental structures capture, retain and fragment food for ingestion. Gnathostome dentition should be viewed in the context of the prey's material properties. Animal muscle and skin are mechanically tough materials that resist fragmentation unless energy is continually supplied directly to the tip of the fracture by some device such as a blade edge. Despite the variety of bladed tooth morphologies...

In this manuscript, a novel design of ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole antenna with dual frequency band-stop performance is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of an ordinary square radiating patch with a pair of rotated T-shaped slits, and a modified ground plane with an inverted Ω-shaped and a pair of rectangular-ring slots. In the presented structure, by cutting a pair of rectangularring sl...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2016-216354 DESCRIPTION Mucoceles are the most common lesions of the minor salivary glands that occur mostly in the lower lip, probably due to the higher incidence of mechanical trauma in this region. A 9-year-old boy visited the department with symptoms of swelling o...

The microstructure and properties of a 5 wt.% Cr cold work tool steel were studied after austenitisation at 1020°C, 1050°C or 1075°C followed by single, double and triple tempering treatments at 525°C. The microstructures were investigated with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction and phase transformations were studied by dilatometry. Furthermore, hardness and Charpy un-notched an...

A planer monopole ultra wideband (UWB) antenna with single and dual band notched characteristics are presented in this article. Proposed antenna consists of simple rectangular shaped patch with sequential notches which is inserted in two lower corners. In order to obtain band notched properties ‘U’ shaped conductor backed plane (CBP) is embedded. Multiple ‘U’ shaped CBP can realize multiple fre...

Recently lower frequency band 4.5−5.5 GHz is proposed by the ASEAN countries for 5G cellular application and therefore, it essential of designing an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna particular band-notched characteristics. In this article, a compact tuning fork shape patch with variable characteristic has been application. The UWB achieved using simple partial ground plane. A pair ring slits (RSS) ...
