The isothermal quasistatic (i.e.\ acceleration neglected) hardening-free plasticity at large strains is considered, based on the standard multiplicative decomposition of total strain and isochoric plastic distortion. Eulerian velocity-strain formulation used. mass density evolves too, but acts only via force term with a given external acceleration. This rather model then re-formulated in terms ...

In this research, the survival of probiotic microorganisms in yogurts stored at room temperature (cold chain interruption conditions) was studied. Milk inoculated with yogurt bacteria (mixed culture of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus) and a single probiotic culture (L. acidophilus LA-5 or Bifidobacterium lactis Bb- 12 or L. rhamnosus HN001 or L. paracase...

The liver is one of the most frequently injured abdominal organs in motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). However, currently accepted anthropomorphic test devices are unable to predict abdominal organ injury risk. Consequently, finite element models are becoming an important tool for assessing abdominal organ injury risk in MVCs. However, in order to accurately assess injury risk, these models must ...

objectives: composite repair is a minimally invasive and conservative approach. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of an additional hydrophobic resin layer on the repair shear bond strength of a silorane-based composite repaired with silorane or methacrylate-based composite. materials and methods: sixty bar-shaped composite blocks were fabricated and stored in saline for 72 hours. the surf...

objectives : because of poor bond between resin cement and zirconia ceramics, laser surface treatments have been suggested to improve adhesion. the present study evaluated the effect of co 2 and nd:yag lasers on the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin cement to zirconia ceramic. materials and methods : ninety zirconia disks (6×2 mm) were randomly divided into six groups of 15. in the control gro...

Blue mold is the vernacular name of a common postharvest disease of stored apples, pears, and quince that is caused by several common species of Penicillium This study reports the draft genome sequence of Penicillium expansum strain R21, which was isolated from a red delicious apple in 2011 in Pennsylvania.

Under mechanical deformation, most materials exhibit both elastic and fluid (or plastic) responses. No existing formalism derived from microscopic principles encompasses both their fluid-like and solid-like aspects. We define the statistical texture tensor to quantify the intuitive notion of stored deformation. This tensor links microscopic and macroscopic descriptions of the material, and exte...

For many location based services like location based advertising, location based information services, or in particular, realizing a virtual traffic sign, which is bound to a location over time, we need a stored geocast solution. A stored geocast is a time stable geocast, which is delivered to all nodes that are inside a destination region within a certain period of time. The period of time sta...

1. A strain of neurovaccine virus was cultivated in a medium consisting of minced chick embryo suspended in Tyrode's solution. 2. The virus upon cultivation apparently lost none of its essential characteristics. 3. The culture virus can be preserved and stored for long periods of time. Furthermore, the preserved virus can be used to initiate fresh cultures.
