STRESS DISTRIBUTIONS ALONG THE ROLL CONTACT ARC

Stress distributions along the roll contact arc

The article provides the results of a mathematical description of the distribution of contact stresses of a roll module with smooth rollers.Analysis of the developed models shows that when the rollers rotate, the maximum of the normal stress distribution diagram is displaced in the direction opposite to the movement of the material being processed;

Comparative analysis of reconstructed ancestral proteins with their extant counterparts suggests primitive life had an alkaline habitat

Abstract To understand the origin and early evolution of life it is crucial to establish characteristics of the primordial environment that facilitated the emergence and evolution of life.One important environmental factor is the pH of the primordial environment.Here, we assessed the pH-dependent thermal stabilities of previously reconstructed ance

Expression of an Efficient Selection Marker Out of a Duplicated Site in the ITRs of a Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara (MVA)

Background/Objectives: Poxviruses are large DNA viruses that replicate in the host cytoplasm without a nuclear phase.As vaccine vectors, they can package and express large recombinant cassettes from different positions of their genomic core region.We present a comparison between wildtype modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) and isolate CR19, which has si

Directive Beam of the Monopole Antenna Using Broadband Gradient Refractive Index Metamaterial for Ultra-Wideband Application

This paper introduces a novel technique to enhance the gain of the basic monopole antenna by using broadband gradient refractive index (GRIN) metamaterial.The proposed GRIN is designed by using a parallel-line unit cell metamaterial with different refractive index.A seven GRIN lens is placed on the omnidirectional printed basic monopole antenna, pe
