‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). Shear adhesion was 5-fold higher than L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-based mussel adhesives tested on similar biomaterials. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…During extension, sub-orthogonal dilatational forces exceeded sub-horizontal shear stresses thus facilitating the repeated emplacement of sheeted granite melt, a process analogous to low-angle tension gash development. …”

Bending strength of local trees by Wong, Jazz Ji Xin

“…Correlations were found between modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and maximum shear stress. Results of greenwood properties were compared to other similar tree species, species of the same family, and assessed for the bending resistance against wind.…”
