Longer life spans and the delayed economic psychological independence of children mean that middle-aged parents find themselves caring for at same period in their lives, times this care may extend to grandchildren grandparents. The type varies depending on each person’s need but also gender individual who looks after while taking own children. Cultural factors can come into play. Complications ...

AIM Generation of recombinant human adenovirus type 5 expressing foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) capsid protein genes along with full-length 2B, 3B and 3C(pro) and its characterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS FMD viral RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis, and polymerase chain reaction were performed to synthesize expression cassettes (P1-2AB3BC(wt) and P1-2AB3BC(m)) followed by cloning in pShutt...

The studies of transport properties in semiconductors have made great progresses for the past decades. This is mainly due to the advanced technologies for development of new materials and the application of nonlinear dynamics to the fundamental well-known materials. In particular, the discipline of nonlinear dynamics grows fast, which is due to the cooperation of theoretical background and expe...

Aim: To assess the suitability, sensitivity and specificity of F gene based RT-PCR for detection of PPRV infection in India. Materials and Methods: A total of 26 blood samples collected from 26 animals suspected for Peste des petits ruminant (PPR) were tested by RTPCR using F1/F2 primers set and then compared with sandwich-ELISA for detection of PPR virus. Results: Out of 26 samples tested RT-P...

The immunoglobulin superfamily member CD147 is a widely expressed glycoprotein that occurs in both a membrane‑spanning and soluble form. Sandwich ELISA is a powerful tool for analyzing soluble antigens. The aim of the present study was to obtain a highly specific polyclonal antibody against human CD147 that can be used for sandwich ELISA analysis. Expression of recombinant CD147 by a eukaryotic...

A non-competitive sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for apolipoprotein C-I was developed. Sheep antibody to this apolipoprotein C-I, purified by affinity chromatography, was used for coating the wells of a microtiter plate and as a conjugate with alkaline phosphatase. The linear range of the assay was from 80 ng to 15 ng. It was sensitive down to 5 ng. The intra-assay variation coeffic...

In this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. The core of Sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic and K-aryl/epoxy covering. The governing equations are deduced from the First order Sheer Deformation Theory (FSDT) and they are solved using Generalized Differential Quadrature Metho...

Sandwich composite are used in numerous structural applications, with demonstrated weight savings over conventional metals and solid composite materials. The increasing use of sandwich composites in defense structures, particularly those which may be exposed to shock loading, demands for a thorough understanding of their response to suc highly transient loadings. In order to fully utilize their...

This work examines the performance of composite panels when subjected to underwater impulsive loads. The scaled fluid–structure experimental methodology developed by Espinosa and co-workers was employed. Failure modes, damage mechanisms and their distributions were identified and quantified for composite monolithic and sandwich panels subjected to typical blast loadings. The temporal evolutions...
