A numerical method is presented to investigate the dynamic response of uniform orthotropic beams subjected to an impact PLATINIUM AMMONIA FREE of a mass.Higher order shear deformation and rotary inertia are included in the analysis of the beams.The impactor and laminated composite beam are treated as a system.The nonlinear differential governing eq
The modern agriculture system based on open-field crops requires a lot of energy and resources in terms of soil, water, and chemicals.Vertical farming (VF) systems could be a viable alternative for some types of cultivation that are receiving interest thanks to their high modularity, optimized water and nutrients use, and LEDs employment as an ener
Intense reproductive competition often continues long after animals finish mating.In many species, sperm from one male compete with those from others to find and fertilize oocytes.Since this competition occurs inside the female reproductive tract, she often influences the outcome through physical or chemical factors, leading to cryptic female choic
The highly potent botulinum Kits neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) inhibits neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions resulting in flaccid muscle paralysis, respiratory arrest and death.In order to reach their neuronal cell targets, BoNT/A must cross epithelial cell barriers lining the intestines and airways.The toxin is produced as a large
