This study investigates the piezoresistive (self-sensing) properties of short stainless-steel fiber-reinforced mortar under varying temperature conditions. Different reinforced mortars were produced by fiber and aggregate content. First, Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements used to characterize electrical specimens. EIS performed at temperatures 24 °C, 35 50 °C. Second, investig...

This paper presents the study of tensile, flexural & moisture absorption properties of composites made from areca fibers, maize powder filler particles & epoxy resin. The specimens are prepared using hand lay-up techniques as per ASTM standard for different weight fractions of fiber, filler & matrix material. The specimens were tested as per ASTM standards. Experimental results showed that tens...

Chickpeas, common beans, dry peas, and lentils are pulse crops that have been a cornerstone of the human diet since the inception of agriculture. However, the displacement of pulses from the diet by low fiber protein alternatives has resulted in a pervasive deficiency referred to as the dietary fiber gap. Using an analytical method American Association of Analytical Chemists (AOAC) 2011.25 that...

The initial recognition and binding of adenovirus vector to the host cell surface is mediated by interaction between the adenovirus fiber knob protein and its receptor, the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR). This natural tropism of adenovirus vector needs to be ablated in order to achieve targeted gene transfer. To this end, we noted that adenovirus serotype 40 (Ad40) contains two di...

Background: Fiber is a carbohydrate, which is neither completely digested nor absorbed in the small intestine, but may be fermented and plays a key role in the human health. We investigated the beneficial effects of fiber on major chronic diseases. Methods: It was extracted the relevant articles by searching the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases using the following keywords: dietary f...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reinforcing effect of short E-glass fiber fillers oriented in different directions on composite resin under static and dynamic loading. Experimental short fiber-reinforced composite resin (FC) was prepared by mixing 22.5 wt% of short E-glass fibers, 22.5 wt% of resin, and 55 wt% of silane-treated silica fillers. Three groups of specimens (n=5) we...

This is a review of fiber-optic soliton propagation and of methods to determine the soliton content in a pulse, group of pulses or a similar structure. Of central importance is the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, an integrable equation that possesses soliton solutions, among others. Several extensions and generalizations of this equation are customary to better approximate real-world systems, b...

promotion of the dietary fiber of foods can enhance human health by reducing the risk of many serious diseases. cakes are among the highly consumed foods but sadly of low fiber content. therefore, increasing the fiber content in them is of great importance, and this was the aim followed in this study. wheat flour was partially replaced at 0, 10, 20 and 30% (w/w) with corn resistant starch (rs),...
