UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Our study aims to determine whether response surface methodology can optimize the extraction of dietary fiber from Maixiansan. METHODS A Box-Behnken design was employed to optimize the extraction parameters, including α-amylase concentration (X1: 0.3 - 0.5%), enzymolysis time (X2: 30 - 60 min) and NaOH content (X3: 1.0 - 5.0%), of dietary fiber from Maixiansan using a...

The creep behavior of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy (BFRE) and glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GFRE) composites was studied through tensile testing at high temperature. To study the effect of reinforcing epoxy, the micro glass powder (MGP) was added at various volume percentage into the epoxy resin in BFRE composites. The initial strain for all the specimens were evaluated and compared with each ...

The additive manufacturing (AM) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites continue to grow due the attractive strength-to-weight and modulus-to-weight ratios afforded by combined with ease processibility achievable through AM technique. Short design factors such as content effects have been shown play determinant roles in mechanical performance fabricated CFRP composites. However, th...

Concrete is poor in tensile property due to its brittle nature. Improvement the mechanical properties of concrete carried by combining rebars and fibers concrete. Earlier research state that non-metallic fibres improve pre-crack performance metallic post crack performance. Short resist micro-cracks at an early stage long macro-cracks. The combination short makes much effective. In this study, i...

Satellite cells (SC) are essential for skeletal muscle growth and repair. Because sarcopenia is associated with type II muscle fiber atrophy, we hypothesized that SC content is specifically reduced in the type II fibers in the elderly. A total of eight elderly (E; 76 +/- 1 yr) and eight young (Y; 20 +/- 1 yr) healthy males were selected. Muscle biopsies were collected from the vastus lateralis ...

Abstract Mean-field homogenization is an established and computationally efficient method estimating the effective linear elastic behavior of composites. In view short-fiber reinforced materials, it important to homogenize consistently during process simulation. This paper aims comprehensively reflect expand basics mean-field anisotropic viscous properties show parallelism properties. particula...
