A Novel Biomineralized Collagen Liquid Crystal Hydrogel Possessing Bone-like Nanostructures by Complete In Vitro Fabrication

The microstructure of bone consists of nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) crystals aligned within the interspaces of collagen fibrils.To emulate this unique microstructure of bone, this work applied two biomimetic techniques to obtain bone-like microstructures in vitro, that is, combining the construction of collagen liquid crystal 173rd airborne brigad

Do goats recognise humans cross-modally?

Recognition plays a key role in the social lives of gregarious species, enabling animals to distinguish among social partners and arrethe bush balm tailor their behaviour accordingly.As domesticated animals regularly interact with humans, as well as members of their own species, we might expect mechanisms used to discriminate between conspecifics t

Finite Element Analysis for Coating Strength of a Piston Compression Ring in Contact with Cylinder Liner: A Tribodynamic Analysis

Piston Compression ring is the constituent part of ring-liner sliding pair that is subjected to high load and speed condition.Due to lubrication regime transition, there is the greater chance of wear and tear in the ring as well as in the liner.In order to reduce the wear and to enhance the elbeco adu ripstop pants ring and liner life, ceramic coat
