A disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve is a Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. It can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. In this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve, that is, bounding disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curves with lower degree disk Wa...

The cover image, prepared by Yuhao Liu, Ying Lin, Liming Wang, and Yaying Xu, shows a silicone prepolymer to modify cycloaliphatic epoxy resin (CEP) with uniformly distributed solid dispersion phases. toughness, hydrophobicity, hydrophobic transfer properties of the CEP were simultaneously improved. This method has potential for applications in outdoor insulation or other waterproof humidity fi...

The N-terminal 25 residue segment of human surfactant protein B (SP-B(1-25)) was synthesised in 26% yield by manual Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (Fmoc SPPS) using low-loading Fmoc-Gly-Wang resin. Substantial oxidation of Met(21) occurred during the synthesis, and the addition of Bu(4)NBr to a TFA/water/EDT/TIS cleavage cocktail enabled facile reduction of Met(O)(21)-SP-B(1-25) to SP-B(1-2...
