In this paper a versatile and easy to use approximate procedure was used for the estimation of mode I stress intensity factors in case of multiple surface cracks in a three dimensional elastic body, subjected to remote uniaxial tensile loading.The mentioned method uses known solutions for either 2D or 3D configurations containing only one crack, an
Abstract Background Activated T cells play a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, and imaging of activated T cells may provide a non-invasive tool for RA detection.Here, we first developed an optical probe targeting human inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS) and tested its capacity in RA diagnosis by capturing ICOS+ activated T
The attentional blink (AB) is one impressive demonstration of limited attentional capacities in time: a second target (T2) is often missed when it should Ice Cube Trays be detected within 200-600 ms after a first target.According to the dynamic attending theory, attention cycles oscillatory.Regular rhythms (i.e., pulses) should evoke expectations r
This article explores the convergence of two fields, which have similar theoretical origins: a clinical field originally known as sensory integration and a branch of neuroscience that conducts research in an area also called sensory integration.Clinically, the term was used to identify a pattern of dysfunction in children and adults, as well as a r
Abstract Denitrification plays a central role in the global nitrogen cycle, reducing and removing nitrogen from marine and terrestrial ecosystems.The flux of nitrogen species through this pathway has a widespread impact, affecting ecological carrying capacity, agriculture, crop tee and climate.Nitrite reductase (Nir) and nitric oxide reductase (NOR
