intellectual property law is premised traditionally on the protection of inventions (patent), literary and artistic property (copyright), and signs (trade mark); and sui generis rights, such as design law, stand outside this framework and are constantly questioned and re-shaped the fashion industry is an intellectual property (ip) intensive industry, continually generating and commercially expl...

Human mesenchymal stem cells were cultured using poly（dimethylsiloxane）substrates with regularly arrayed wrinkle microstructures formed by partially depositing diamond-like carbon thin films. The optimal design pattern for development of more interconnections within a shorter period was found to be square-shaped areas 50 μm size arranged at the intervals - 100 in grid-like pattern.

Sinusoidal oscillatory flow around a circular cylinder is simulated to study the periodic streaming in three flow regimes under the low KC and low  number conditions. The first regime of periodic streaming is featured by V-shape jet-like streams towards a fix direction. In the second regime, the V-shaped streams also exist, but the V-shape switches direction with a secondary flow period. The t...

Direct, in-fluid observation of the surface morphology and nanomechanical properties of the mixed brushes composed of Y-shaped binary molecules PS-PAA revealed nanoscale network-like surface topography formed by coexisting stretched soluble PAA arms and collapsed insoluble PS chains in water. Placement of Y-shaped brushes in different fluids resulted in dramatic reorganization ranging from soft...

Autonomous grasping of unknown objects by a robot is a highly challenging skill that is receiving increasing attention in the last years, and is still more challenging in underwater environments, with highly unstructured scenarios, limited availability of sensors and adverse conditions that affect the robot perception and control systems. This paper describes an approach for autonomous grasping...

Horse shoe shaped lipoma of the upper extremity is a very rare entity. We present a case of 45 years old female who presented with painless progressive swelling over the distal forearm and tingling and numbness over the ulnar nerve territory. MRI and surgical exploration showed a horse shoe shaped multilobulated lipoma encasing the distal ulna. The mass was excised in toto, and the sensory alte...

This article examines the relationship between shape, size and of udder Bushuev cows on different categories farms their milk yield. It was determined that yield belonging to form bowl-shaped in all higher from 720.9 kg 641.8 than peers round udder. In comparison, with a cup-shaped 3.3 cm 2.2 wider, length 9.1 7.8 longer, circumference 6.3 8.7 bigger, depth 1.6 2.7 nipple diameter 0.06 0.35 cm,...

A new type of floating breakwaters (FBs) is introduced by changing the longitudinal section of π-shaped FBs into a stepwise shape. The hydrodynamic performance of so-called step floating breakwaters (SFBs) is evaluated through 144 experiments on SFBs of different types as well as π-shaped FBs. Initially, using the experimental data, the performance of SFBs was evaluated by comparison against π-...

The varied ultrastructure of the eggshell of Paracapillaria (Crossicapillaria) philippinensis, collected from a human sample, is reported from a scanning electron microscopy study. Two distinct egg shapes were identified: typical peanut-shaped and swollen peanut-shaped. Both thick and thin eggshells were detected. Thick eggshells are either fairly smooth or bear a beam-like network in relation ...
