Daniel Jean Stanley. Parallel Laminated Deep-Sea Muds and Coupled Gravity Flow-Hemipelagic Settling in the Mediterranean. Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences, number 19, 19 pages, 7 figures, 1983.—The origin of fine-grained deep-sea facies is often blurred because of interplay of diverse transport mechanisms: sediment gravity flow, traction related to fluid-driven circulation, and ...

The transparent property of glass makes it a favored choice of material in the design of structures because it maximizes light and creates an illusion of larger spaces. However, it is a very brittle, making it difficult to use as a common building material. Laminated glass significantly improves the strength through a layer of resin called polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Laminated glass is typically u...

The metacestode of Echinococcus multilocularis is surrounded by a carbohydrate-rich laminated layer, which plays a key role in the establishment of the infection in the mammalian host. A major component of the laminated layer is an antigen referred to as Em2(G11). This highly species-specific antigen has been used for serodiagnoses of alveolar echinococcosis and is suggested to contain carbohyd...

A new approach is developed for finite element modeling of muiti-layer laminated beams. Within the beam element, the laminate is decomposed as muttiple basic layers, such as base beam layers of metal like, soft-core layers of adhesives, and soft coating layers of polymers, and mass and stiffness matrices of these basic layers are assembled together to generate those matrices for the beam elemen...

The layer removal method is often used for measurement of internal stresses in homogeneous polymeric materials. In order to extend the use of this method to laminated composites certain refinements are needed. These include: (i) use of varying material properties (elastic moduli) through the thickness of the composite plate; (ii) use of geometric non-linear analysis to account for large deforma...

Soft, conformable electrical contacts provide efficient, noninvasive probes for the transport properties of chemically and mechanically fragile, ultrathin organic semiconducting films. When combined with high-resolution printing and lamination techniques, these soft contacts also form the basis of a powerful technique for fabricating flexible plastic circuits. In this approach, a thin elastomer...

The partially prefabricated laminated (RC) walls mentioned is this kind of seismic prevention element with part prefabricated concrete plate and cast in place concrete plate. 4 typical laminated walls without openings, 4 laminated walls with openings, and 1 common cast-in-place RC walls were tested under cyclic test. The seismic behaviour were analysed by the finite element software based on th...

Symmetric cell divisions have been proposed to rapidly increase neuronal number late in neurogenesis, but how critical this mode of division is to establishing a specific neuronal layer is unknown. Using in vivo time-lapse imaging methods, we discovered that in the laminated zebrafish retina, the horizontal cell (HC) layer forms quickly during embryonic development upon division of a precursor ...

All plastics can be divided into two groups called thermoplastics and thermosets, and each group exhibits very different behaviors. Unlike thermosets, thermoplastics are empirically known by the viscoelastic behavior of the thermoplastic layers; the stress generated by building subsequent layers can be significantly relieved in a multilayer structure. In this study, we quantitatively investigat...

The retina is a highly specialised part of the brain responsible for visual processing. It is well-laminated; three layers containing five different types of neurons are compartmentalised by two synaptic layers. Among the retinal layers, the inner nuclear layer (INL) is composed of horizontal, bipolar, and amacrine cell types. Bipolar cells form one sublayer in the distal half of the IPL, while...
