Open AccessOxygen torus and its coincidence with EMIC wave in the deep inner magnetosphere: Van Allen Probe B and Arase observations
We investigate the longitudinal structure of the oxygen torus in the inner magnetosphere for a specific event found on 12 September 2017, using simultaneous observations from the Van Allen Probe B and Arase sa...

Open AccessGhrelin receptor regulates HFCS-induced adipose inflammation and insulin resistance
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the most commonly used sweetener in the United States. Some studies show that HFCS consumption correlates with obesity and insulin resistance, while other studies are in disa...

A generalised three-dimensional tethered-nodule model for auxetic materials
Models for the nano/micro-structural deformation and mechanical properties of auxetic materials (i.e. materials with a negative Poisson’s ratio) have been previously developed. However, most of these models ha...

Article
Elastic Deformation of Materials under Distributed Shear Loading
In this work, the deformation of material under localised tangential loading has been investigated. An analytical expression to predict deformation and strain patterns under tangential loading over a rectangul...

Gold-black as IR absorber and solar cell enhancer
Infrared absorbance and visible/near-IR excited plasmon resonances are investigated in gold-black, a porous nano-structured conducting film. Polymer infusion (for hardening) generally reduced absorbance in the...

Physical and thermal effects on the shape memory behaviour of auxetic open cell foams
This study examines the processing envelope related to auxetic open cell foams and their shape memory properties, with the analysis of four different phases of multi-component foams (conventional, 1st auxetic,...

Article
Negative thermal expansion: a review
Most materials demonstrate an expansion upon heating, however a few are known to contract, i.e. exhibit a negative coefficient of thermal expansivity (NTE). This naturally occurring phenomenon has been shown t...

Evaluation of chlorophyll fluorescence as a tool for the identification of drought tolerance in upland cotton
Chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) is one tool used by researchers to quantify plant water status during periods of limited water availability. The research reported herein was designed to evaluate a CF-based proto...

Solar Wind Statistics at 1 AU: Alfven Speed and Plasma Beta
The phenomenon of MHD wave refraction is useful in interpreting the properties of the magnetic fluctuations in certain parcels of solar wind. In the physics of MHD wave refraction, variations in the Alfvén speed

Article
A magnetic reconnection X-line extending more than 390 Earth radii in the solar wind
Magnetic reconnection is a process in which pairs of magnetic field lines merge to convert magnetic energy into particle energy. Kinks formed in the merged field lines produce a slingshot effect that accelerat...

Genetic map** and QTL analysis of fiber-related traits in cotton (Gossypium)
Cotton, the leading natural fiber crop, is largely produced by two primary cultivated allotetraploid species known as Upland or American cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and Pima or Egyptian cotton (G. barbadense L...

Measurement of Fracture Parameters in Three-Dimensional Cracked-Body Problems
A review is made of the development and application of an approach to the determination of three-dimensional numerical fracture parameters. These parameters are determined by an experimental laboratory method ...

Chapter
Improvements in the Nutritional Quality of the Cottonseed
Cottonseed is a by-product of cotton fiber production. With each 100 pounds of fiber, the cotton plant produces approximately 165 pounds of cottonseed. However, it accounts for only 10 to 15% of the total valu...

Cotton α-Globulin Promoter: Isolation and Functional Characterization in Transgenic Cotton, Arabidopsis, and Tobacco
Globulins are the most abundant seed storage proteins in cotton and, therefore, their regulatory sequences could potentially provide a good source of seed-specific promoters. We isolated the putative promoter ...

Chapter
Crack Growth Behavior and SIF’s as Observed by Optical Methods
A laboratory based experimental method consisting of a marriage between frozen stress photoelasticity and the near tip equations of linear elastic fracture mechanics is applied to two three dimensional cracked...

The Bastille day Shocks and Merged Interaction Region
Near 1 AU the solar wind structure associated with the solar flare of 14 July 2000 (Bastille Day) consisted of a large high-speed stream of 15 July and five nearby small streams during a 10-day period. At the ...
