Fibre-reinforced shotcrete is an essential part of the support hard rock tunnels. Due to complexity design, a combination empirical and numerical analysis commonly used in design. The required dosage fibres for structural purposes determined based on minimum energy absorption or residual flexural strength. latter derived from tests beams, while tested panels. It widely known that beams suffer l...

BACKGROUND In dystrophic mdx skeletal muscle, aberrant Ca2+ homeostasis and fibre degeneration are found. The absence of dystrophin in models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has been connected to altered ion channel properties e.g. impaired L-type Ca2+ currents. In regenerating mdx muscle, 'revertant' fibres restore dystrophin expression. Their functionality involving DHPR-Ca2+-channels is...

Abstract Moisture absorption is a crucial property of cotton fabrics, as it directly affects their comfort and performance in various applications, well fabric’s degradation. While the moisture ability fibres has been extensively studied, influence geometric, structural, mass characteristics fabrics on capacity remains less explored. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate relationship betwee...

The chaperone/usher pathway controls assembly of fibres of adhesive organelles of Gram-negative bacteria. The final steps of fibre assembly and fibre translocation to the cell surface are co-ordinated by the outer membrane proteins, ushers. Ushers consist of several soluble periplasmic domains and a single transmembrane beta-barrel. Here we report isolation and structural/functional characteriz...

In this research, several series of triarylmethane dyes containing one or more terminal methoxy substituents with a variable tertiary amino groups have been used. These dyes have been applied to different substrates by using various methods including transfer printing and then their fastness properties were measured. These dyes shows exceptionally high light fastness (6-7) on acid modified poly...

the serpentinization of the harzburgitic mantle section of the bou azzer neoproterozoic ophiolite is studied by field mapping, structural observations, optical micrography, sem and x-ray diffractometry, and relationships with co, ni, cr and sulphides minerals are discussed. serpentinization occurred in two major steps with, i) intra-oceanic pseudomorphic serpentinization materialized by the iso...
