A novel dermatophyte species is described in the Microsporum cookei clade. It differs significantly from known taxa in the two molecular markers analyzed, i.e., ITS and partial β-tubulin (BT2). Morphologically the species was characterized by smooth- or only slightly rough-walled conidia, but isolates rapidly became pleomorphic with sparse, smooth- and thick-walled macroconidia in addition to m...

The conventional elastic analysis of thick walled cylinders to final radial & hoop stresses is applicable for the internal pressures up to yield strength of material. The stress is directly proportional to strain up to yield point Beyond elastic point, particularly in thick walled cylinders. The operating pressures are reduced or the material properties are strengthened. There is no such existi...

Abstract The paper presents a new modeling technique for accurately predicting the complex behavior of thin-walled open and closed section beams made fiber-reinforced laminated composite materials. is significantly computational-efficient compared to detailed finite element modeling. In this technique, complete 3D stress analysis problem consisting all effects their couplings systematically dec...

Branchotenthes robinoverstreeti n. gen. and n. ap. (Monogenea: Hexabothriidae) infects the gill filaments of the bowmouth guitarfish, Rhina ancylostoma Bloch and Schneider, 1801 (Rhynchobatidae) in the southwest Indian Ocean off Trafalgar, South Africa. The new species is most easily distinguished from other hexabothriids by the combination of having a symmetrical haptor, C-shaped haptoral suck...

Oxidized individual single-walled carbon nanotubes and amine polymers have been assembled into 11-32-nm-thick well-ordered conductive films. The films show highly anisotropic electrical conductivity, which is dominated by the nanotubes in the horizontal plane and by polymer-mediated tunneling in the vertical direction. The ratio of the "along" to "across" conductivity is approximately 10(3). Th...

in this article, the elasto-plastic analysis of thick walled fg tanks subjected to internal pressure is elaborated. today, thick walled tanks containing liquids with high pressure are used in the chemical industries. the high internal pressure causes part of the thickness of reservoir to yield; therefore, we need the elasto-plastic analysis. in this study, elasto-plastic behavior of fg cylindri...

Three-dimensional collapse of and steady flow through finite-length elastic tubes are studied numerically. The Navier-Stokes equations coupled with large, nonlinear deformation of the elastic wall are solved by using the finiteelement software, FIDAP. Three-dimensional solid elements are used for the elastic wall, allowing us to specify any wall thickness required. Plane-strain results for the ...
