BackgroundThe venom of Bothrops lanceolatus, a viperid species endemic to the Lesser Antillean Island of Martinique, induces thrombosis in a number of patients.Previous clinical observations indicate that thrombotic events are more common in patients bitten by juvenile specimens.There is a need to develop an experimental model of this effect in ord
In this study, physical and mechanical properties of single layer particleboard made from bamboo powder (with and without alkali treatment) and wood particles were investigated.Bamboo powder (30 mesh particles) was treated with 5% hydroxide sodium for 120 minutes.Industrial wood chips from Sanate Choube Shomal Company were used.The variable in this
In this paper, the nonlinear mechanical response of elastic cable structures under mechanical load is studied based on the discrete catenary theory.A cable net is discretized into multiple nodes and edges in our numerical approach, which is followed by an analytical formulation of the elastic energy and the 3 NATURAL BROWN associated Hessian matrix
Improving fruit quality is an important but challenging breeding goal in winter squash.Squash breeding in general is resource-intensive, especially in terms of space, and the biology of squash makes it difficult to practice selection on both parents.These restrictions translate to smaller breeding populations and limited use of greenhouse generatio
