The rational design of desirable lightweight structural materials usually needs to meet the strict requirements of mechanical properties.Seeking optimal integration strategies for lightweight structures and high mechanical performance is always of great research significance in the rapidly developing composites field, which also draws significant a

The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma Collections vittatum F.(Figure 1) is a serious agricultural pest of plants in the family Cucurbitaceae in eastern North America.Crops affected by larval and adult feeding include cucumber, Cucumis sativus L., cantaloupe, Cucumis melo L., pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo L., and other Cucurbita spp.(Dill and Kirby 2016).

Summary: Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) catalyzes asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a).This mark has been reported to associate with silent genes.Here, we use a cell model of neural differentiation, which upon PRMT6 knockout exhibits proliferation and differentiation defects.Strikingly, we detect PRMT6-depen

Abstract Background Proliferative diabetic retinopathy leading to vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma is a major cause of CORDLESS T-OUTLINER TRIMMER severe sight impairment in adults of working age worldwide.Neovascular glaucoma occurs in 2.5% of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is di

This paper aims to provide a new approach to predict the friction resistance of slurry pipe jacking.Friction force usually constitutes the main component of jacking force.It can be calculated by multiplying an effective friction coefficient and the normal force acting on the external surface of the pipe.This effective friction coefficient is introd
