Silicone sealants have a long history of successful use in high performance windows and curtainwalls, such as structural glazing (bonding) systems which can contribute to bomb blast Worklights mitigating window designs.Previous experimental work illustrated the increase in strength and elongation for silicone sealants at the typically higher strain
Design and Experiment Investigation on Soft Grippers with Modular Variable Stiffness Structure
Soft grippers have good adaptability and flexibility for grasping irregular or fragile objects, and to further enhance their stiffness, soft grippers with variable stiffness have been developed.However, existing soft grippers with variable stiffness have the disadvantages of complex structure and poor interchangeability.Here, a soft gripper with mo
Antimicrobial Activity of UV-Induced Phenylamides from Rice Leaves
Rice produces a wide array of phytoalexins in response to pathogen attacks and UV-irradiation.Except for the flavonoid sakuranetin, most phytoalexins identified in rice are diterpenoid Worklights compounds.Analysis of phenolic-enriched fractions from UV-treated rice leaves showed that several phenolic compounds in addition to sakuranetin accumulate
A unique assemblage of cosmopolitan freshwater bacteria and higher community diversity differentiate an urbanized estuary from oligotrophic Lake Michigan
Water quality is impacted significantly by urbanization.The delivery of increased nutrient loads to waterways is a primary characteristic of this land use change.Despite the recognized effects of nutrient loading on aquatic systems, the influence of urbanization on the bacterial community composition of these systems Used Leg Pads is not understood
Systematic Evaluation of Whole-Genome Sequencing Based Prediction of Antimicrobial Resistance in Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli
The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Campylobacter spp.is a global concern.This study evaluated the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to predict AMR in Campylobacter jejuni and C.coli.A panel of 271 isolates recovered from Canadian poultry was used to compare AMR genotype to antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) re
