Research on basic mechanical properties of different modulus alkaline excited ECC by Che, Jialing, Yang, Renze, Wang, Jun, Liu, Haifeng, Hu, Yun xiang, Doh, Shu Ing

“…The effect of the alkali activator modulus on the mechanical properties and microstructure of two types of fiber-reinforced engineering cementitious composites (alkali-excited ECC) with desert sand as fine aggregate was studied. The alkali activator was prepared by a certain proportion of NaOH and sodium silicate mixture, and the mechanical performance indexes were used for analysis, including compressive/tensile/flexural strength, Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus, flexural toughness ratio and energy performance index (PSH). …”

What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…However, existing studies have emphasized the dominant hand, which is superiorly dexterous in fine-motor movements. This near-exclusive focus prompts the inquiry of whether the observed perceptual facilitation is a general characteristic of the motor system, or specific to pathways controlling the skilled over-trained dominant hand. …”

Towards Spatially Varying Gloss Reproduction for 3D Printing by Piovarci, Michal, Foshey, Michael, Babaei, Vahid, Rusinkiewicz, Szymon, Matusik, Wojciech, Didyk, Piotr

“…The main difficulty in automating this process lies in the physical properties of the varnishes which owe their appearance to a high concentration of large particles and as such, they cannot be easily deposited with current 3D color printers. As a result, fine-grained control of gloss properties using today's 3D printing technologies is limited in terms of both spatial resolution and the range of achievable gloss. …”

Defects in β-cell Ca2+ dynamics in age-induced diabetes by Li, Luosheng, Trifunovic, Aleksandra, Köhler, Martin, Wang, Yixin, Petrovic Berglund, Jelena, Illies, Christopher, Juntti-Berggren, Lisa, Larsson, Nils-Göran, Berggren, Per-Olof

“…Our data suggest that aging is associated with a progressive decline in β-cell mitochondrial function that negatively impacts on the fine tuning of Ca2+ dynamics. This is conceptually important since it emphasizes that even relatively modest changes in β-cell signal transduction over time lead to compromised insulin release and a diabetic phenotype.…”
