Due to its amazing physicochemical properties and high environmental compatibility, cellulose nano-crystals (CNC) hold great promise for serving as a strategic platform for sustainable development. Now, there has been growing interest in the development of processes using waste or residual biomass as CNC source for addressing economic and environmental concerns. In the present work, a combined ...

As a distributed computing system, a CNC system needs to be operated reliably, dependably, and safely. How to design reliable and dependable software and perform effective verification for CNC systems becomes an important research problem. In this paper, we propose a new modeling method called TTM/ATRTTL (timed transition models/all-time real-time temporal logics) for specifying CNC systems. TT...

We present an efficient approach to develop cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) hybrids with magnetically responsive Fe3O4 nanoparticles that were synthesized using the (Fe3+/Fe2+) coprecipitation. After 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-catalyzed oxidation of CNC, carbodiimide (EDC/NHS) was used for coupling amine-containing iron oxide nanoparticles that were achieved by dopamine li...

Optimizing the sequence of operations (SOS) is important factor in improving the productivity of machines and reducing the production cost. However, CNC programing packages are available and have been significantly improved program generation for CNC machines, but in most of these packages the SOS optimization is not considered. This paper, introduce an efficient solution to optimized SOS for m...

Reduction operations are a common and important feature in many parallel programming models. In this paper, we present a new reduction construct for Concurrent Collections (CnC). CnC is a deterministic, asynchronous parallel programming model in which data production and reduction can overlap. While reductions are most frequently incorporated in synchronous contexts where all data is available ...

During neural tube closure, Pax3 is required to inhibit p53-dependent apoptosis. Pax3 is also required for migration of cardiac neural crest (CNC) from the neural tube to the heart and septation of the primitive single cardiac outflow tract into the aorta and pulmonary arteries. Whether Pax3 is required for CNC migration and outflow tract septation by inhibiting p53-dependent apoptosis is not k...

The cardiac neural crest (cNC) lineage plays key roles in heart development by directly contributing to heart structures and regulating development of other heart lineages. The basic helix-loop-helix factor Hand2 regulates development of cardiovascular structures and NC-derived tissues including those that contribute to face and peripheral nervous system. Although Hand2 is expressed in cNC, its...

The type 1 alpha regulatory subunit (R1alpha) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) (PRKAR1A) is an important regulator of the serine-threonine kinase activity catalyzed by the PKA holoenzyme. Carney complex (CNC) describes the association 'of spotty skin pigmentation, myxomas, and endocrine overactivity'; CNC is in essence the latest form of multiple endocrine neoplasia to be described and ...

As an innovative and cost-effective method for carrying out multiple-axis CNC machining, 3 1 2 1 2 -axis CNC machining technique adds an automatic indexing/rotary table with two additional discrete rotations to a regular 3-axis CNC machine, to improve its ability and efficiency for machining complex sculptured parts. In this work, a new tool path generation method to automatically subdivide a c...

We fabricated self-standing films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and electrospun composite fibers with CNC and polyvinyl alcohol both with magnetic properties arising from cobalt iron oxide nanoparticles in the CNC matrix. Aqueous dispersions of cobalt-iron oxide nanoparticles (10–80 nm diameter) and CNCs (ca. 150 nm length) were used as precursor systems for the films and composite fibers. Th...
