Mechanical-strain-gated switches are cornerstone components of material-embedded circuits that perform logic operations without using conventional electronics. This technology requires a single material system to exhibit three distinct functionalities: strain-invariant conductivity and an increase or decrease upon mechanical deformation. Herein, mechanical-strain-gated electric based on thin-fi...

Bacillus subtilus, a mineral precipitating microorganism, when introduced into concrete produces calcium carbonate crystals which seals the micro cracks and pores in the concrete. This process imparts high strength and durability to bacteria treated concrete along with enhancement in other mechanical properties. In order to study one such mechanical property, the stress-strain behavior of bacte...

Six strain of Trichoderma (T. viride, T. harzianum, T. reesei, T. longibrachiatum, T. koningii, T. virens) were isolated and used for extracellular enzyme production. Species of Trichoderma are collected from the surrounding soil of suger beet root fields in East Iran, and held in vitro cultured PDA. TCM and TFM are used for the growth of spores and induceing the production of Cellulase. Finall...

OBJECTIVE To compare immunologic responses and reproductive outcomes in sows housed under field conditions following controlled exposure to a wild-type strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV strain WTV) or vaccination with a modified-live virus (MLV) vaccine. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. ANIMALS 30 PRRSV-naïve 10-week-old female pigs. PROCEDURE Humoral...
