During the early 1930’s topology developed some of its most important notions. The first international conference on the young subject took place in Moscow 1935. Fibre spaces were introduced by H. Seifert (1907–1996). By 1950 the notions of fibre space and fibre bundle had become central in the study of algebraic topology. In that year in Bruxelles, and in 1953 at Cornell University, internatio...

Voxel-based analysis of diffusion MRI data is increasingly popular. However, most white matter voxels contain contributions from multiple fibre populations (often referred to as crossing fibres), and therefore voxel-averaged quantitative measures (e.g. fractional anisotropy) are not fibre-specific and have poor interpretability. Using higher-order diffusion models, parameters related to fibre d...

Compared with annual grain and seed crops, perennial grassland has significantly lower losses of nutrients low pesticide requirements, whilst also supporting soil carbon build-up. Until now crops have almost exclusively been fed to ruminants horses. Our experiments on biorefining forages produced protein a quality equal soybean meal. Forage can deliver high yields biomass as well well-balanced ...

Dairy production system in developing countries mainly depends on forage plants and crop residues as major portion of the Ruminants diet. The majority dry matter crops is made up fibre whose digestibility limited rumen ecosystem. Use exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) gaining popularity recent days they overcome limitations other methodologies which are used to improve fibre. Due microbial enzy...

The ultimate tensile behaviour of fibre-reinforced cementitious composites is closely related to its failure mechanisms which in turn are dependent on reinforcement parameters such as fibre characteristics and the fibre/matrix interface properties. Based on the direct tensile tests of mortar specimens reinforced with various synthetic fibres, this paper attempts to explain such relationships an...

A dual-peak LPFG (long-period fibre grating), inscribed in an optical fibre, has been employed to sense DNA hybridization in real time, over a 1 h period. One strand of the DNA was immobilized on the fibre, while the other was free in solution. After hybridization, the fibre was stripped and repeated detection of hybridization was achieved, so demonstrating reusability of the device. Neither st...

Propagation time through an optical fibre changes with the environment, e.g., a change in temperature alters the fibre length and its refractive index. These changes have negligible impact in many key fibre applications, e.g., telecommunications, however, they can be detrimental in many others. Examples are fibre-based interferometry (e.g., for precise measurement and sensing) and fibre-based t...
