The microstructure and its crystallographic aspect of the shell of a limpet, Lottiakogamogai, have been investigated, as the first step to clarify the mechanism of shell formation in limpet. The shell consists of five distinct layers stacked along the shell thickness direction. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with the focused ion beam (FIB) sample preparation technique was primarily adop...

• Parametric design of prismatic concrete beams reduces embodied carbon by up to 38%. Further savings 8% are possible with parametric shape optimisation. Optimum designs for a given span vary criteria. Estimating deflections alongside optimisation algorithm expands the space. The construction industry has received attention due its significant contribution global emissions. In this paper, conve...

This prospective study examined the effects of prismatic adaptation on visual exploration strategies in patients with left unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Photo-oculographic gaze recordings were obtained, as the subjects (28 brain-damaged; 15 control) performed a free visual exploration task before and after a session of prismatic adaptation. (i) Before prismatic adaptation, the pattern of vi...

The temperature dependence of fatigue crack growth in stage IIb was investigated Ti–0.49 mass%O with an alpha single phase. It found that the rate independent at temperatures above 300 K. EBSD maps beside showed prismatic slips 〈a〉 dislocations were dominantly activated during growth. reason why is discussed numerical crystal plasticity analysis. shown local strain notch tip higher than macrosc...

With the help of the research results presented here and on the basis of a graphic analysis we aim to prove the existence of a relationship between the difference in prismatic refractive power and the thickness, curvature radius, and type of material used for panoramic oculars in protective spectacles, goggles, and face shields. The difference in the prismatic refractive power is a fundamental ...

Prismatic adaptation has been shown to induce a realignment of visuoproprioceptive representations and to involve parietocerebellar networks. We have investigated in humans how far other types of functions known to involve the parietal cortex are influenced by a brief exposure to prismatic adaptation. Normal subjects underwent an fMRI evaluation before and after a brief session of prismatic ada...
