Microstructures are the strategic link between materials processing and materials behavior.A dendritic structure is the most frequently observed pattern of solidified alloys.The microstructural scales of dendrites, such as primary and secondary arm spacings, control the segregation profiles and the formation of secondary phases within interdendriti
Abstract Fine particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is a prevalent atmospheric pollutant that is closely associated with asthma.Elderly patients have a high incidence of asthma with a long course of illness.Our previous studies revealed that exposure to PM2.5 diminishes lung function and exacerbates lung damage in elderly rats.In the present study, we inv
New findings on nesting and hatching are reported for the leaf-nesting tree frog Phyllomedusa trinitatis.Nest height and leaf cover (one or many leaves; well or poorly covered) were very variable.Contrary to a previous report, eggless jelly capsules were scattered amongst the eggs, with substantial jelly plugs located above and below the egg clutch
