This paper presents an experimentally validated model for the computational analysis of metal-reinforced wooden composites. The can be used in both research and industry to effectively estimate how much a certain composite design improves bending stiffness strength hybrid component. A based on computer simulations allows prediction mechanical behaviour material consisting several interconnected...

Recently, we described a novel insertion element, ISPpy1, isolated from a permafrost strain of Psychrobacter maritimus. In this work, we demonstrated that ISPpy1 is a member of a novel subgroup of the IS3 family of insertion sequences (ISs) that was not identified and characterized previously. IS elements of this subgroup termed the ISPpy1 subgroup are broadly distributed among different taxa o...

This paper presents a high-resolution radio continuum (843 MHz) survey of the Vela supernova remnant. The contrast between the structures in the central pulsar-powered nebula of the remnant and the synchrotron radiation shell allows the remnant to be identified morphologically as a member of the composite class. The data are the first of a composite remnant at spatial scales comparable with tho...

P pili are highly ordered composite structures consisting of thin fibrillar tips joined end-to-end to rigid helical rods. The production of these virulence-associated structures requires a periplasmic chaperone (PapD) and an outer membrane protein (PapC) that is the prototype member of a newly recognized class of proteins that we have named "molecular ushers." Two in vitro assays showed that th...

purpose: this article presents the results of study aimed at devising comprehensive, standard and objective criteria for measuring faculty members' workload. material & method: the indicators for measuring faculty members' workload were collected through a comprehensive review of the literature, a survey of the available documents and methods for measuring workload in the country, and faculty m...

We describe a new method for the calculation of river flow that uses the oxygen isotope composition of bivalve mollusk shells that grew in the river-water/seawater mixing zone of the Colorado River estuary. Sclerochronological techniques are used to identify tidally-induced, fortnight-scale bundles of daily growth increments within shell cross-sections. These fortnightly markers are used to est...

Abstract Composite steel decking concrete slabs are an important structural member in building construction. Research on its thermal behavior should be developed to understand fire performance. In this paper, a comparison of the temperature distribution cross-section subjected is made through three different procedures: (a) standardized analytical, (b) experimental and (c) numerical. The analyt...
