Abstract:
The motivation of this work is formed by the biological behavior of a receptor cell (sensory system). It is modeled as a spring-mass-damper oscillator with a spatial disturbance signal acting on the frame and an inner active element that generates a force acting on the mass. Both the system parameters and the excitation signal are supposed to be unknown. The goal is to achieve a predefined movement of the mass, such as tracking a set point trajectory or stabilization. Thus, a controller is required to act on the system using the control force as input in such a way that the desired behavior is

Abstract:
Jumping mechanisms constitute an important means of resolution in applications such as crossing uneven terrain and space exploration. However, the traditional design mainly uses engineering design thinking, but seldom studies the structural characteristics of organisms themselves and lacks biomimetic research basis, which leads to the difference between jumping mechanism and biological structure and its jumping ability. On the other hand, it lacks in-depth study on biological jumping mechanism from the view of engineering. Weevil has excellent jumping performance, and its key jumper structure

Siam Weed was introduced to Nigeria in 1937, through the importation of timber species from Sri Lanka. It is now a serious weed of both arable and plantation crops in the country.

At present, the weed seems uncontrollable and suggestion is made that the new research focus should be on its possible industrial and pharmaceutical uses.

The combination of hydrostatics and mechanical gearboxes cannot only improve system efficiency but also the usability of mobile machines. A possible solution could be a synchronized gearbox with two gears. Compared to the pure hydrostatic drivetrain, mobile machines with such a combination can have a larger drive torque with the first gear and higher efficiency at high speed. However, the calibration effort of this traditional drivetrain system is enormous; moreover, with a flow-based control, the degrees of freedom to achieve optimum shift performance in all conditions are limited.

Cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins is critical to physiological and pathological processes as well as biomedical and biotechnological applications. Cell adhesion is a highly regulated process involving initial receptor-ligand binding, and subsequent clustering of these receptors and rapid association with the actin cytoskeleton as focal adhesions are assembled. Focal adhesions enhance adhesion, functioning as structural links between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix and triggering signaling pathways that direct cell function.

Abstract:
Brain temperature control is important in clinical therapy, because moderate temperature reduction of brain temperature increases the survival rate after head trauma. A factor that affects the brain temperature distribution is the cerebral blood flow, which is controlled by autoregulatory mechanisms. To improve the existing thermal models of brain, we incorporate the effect of the temperature over the metabolic heat generation, and the regulatory processes that control the cerebral blood perfusion and depend on physiological parameters like, the mean arterial blood pressure, the partial pressu

Abstract:
Toward development of spiroplasmas as novel toxin-delivery systems for biocontrol of beetle pests in the United States (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) and Israel (Maladera matrida), media for cultivating beetle-associated spiroplasmas were improved and surveys of these spiroplasmas were conducted to provide transformable strains. Extensive surveys of spiroplasmas yielded promising extrachromosomal elements for vector constructs. One, plasmid pCT-1, was cloned, characterized, and used as a source of spiroplasma origin of replication in our shuttle vectors. The fibrillin gene was isolated and sequen

Abstract:
Legacy natural gas engines have made substantial progress over decades of research and development to improve the reliability of operation under loaded, steady-state conditions. The reduction of misfires and preignition cycles has reduced emissions such as unburned hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen through various means, including efforts to minimize combustion variability at specific engine operating conditions. Understanding the root causes of cycle-to-cycle variability is vital in determining how to counteract them. By reducing cyclic variability, engine performance improves, emissions ar

Abstract:
Recently, natural rubber has been used in several medical products. The purpose of this study was to develop a soft lining material from natural latex which had been improved its physical, mechanical and biological properties. Initially, natural latex was vulcanized by gamma irradiation. The vulcanized latex was then grafted with ethyl methacrylate using gamma irradiation also. The grafted vulcanized rubber, so-called graft copolymer, was evaluated for its physical and mechanical properties as well as the cellular biocompatibility.

Abstract:
Original objectives: Dipping of table grapes in ethanol was determined to be an effective measure to control postharvest gray mold infection caused by Botrytis cinerea. Our objectives were to study the effects of ethanol on B.cinerea and table grapes and to conduct research that will facilitate the implementation of this treatment. Background: Botrytis cinerea is known as the major pathogen of table grapes in cold storage. To date, the only commercial technology to control it relied on sulfur dioxide (SO₂) implemented by either fumigation of storage facilities or from slow release generator pa

Abstract:
Sometimes heat treated components fail to pass the specified minimum mechanical requirements (yield strength, Charpy V-notch toughness). The influence of the complete heat cycle on the end results is not well understood and without a N.D.T. method for determining these properties the pipeline companies have difficulty in determining acceptable and non-acceptable individual components. In the quality control process for heat treated components, it is important to have a non-destructive testing technique available for predicting the yield strength and, if necessary, Charpy V-notch properties.

Abstract:
Integrated pest management in modern crop protection requires the use of chemical or biological insecticides in many instances. Nontheless, the use non-selective chemical insecticides poses risks to the environment and livestock and consequently urgent need exists for safer alternatives, which target insects more specifically. Scorpions produce anti-insect selective polypeptide toxins that are biodegradable and not toxic to wam-blooded animals. Therefore, mobilization of these substances into insect pest targets is of major interest. Moreover, clarification of the molecular basis of this selec

Abstract:
Ustilago maydis is a fungal pathogen of maize. Some strains of U. maydis encode secreted polypeptide toxins capable of killing other susceptible strains of U. maydis. Resistance to the toxins is conferred by recessive nuclear genes. The toxins are encoded by genomic segments of resident double-strande RNA viruses. The best characterized toxin, KP6, is composed of two polypeptides, a and b, which are not covalently linked. It is encoded by P6M2 dsRNA, which has been cloned, sequenced and expressed in a variety of systems. In this study we have shown that the toxin acts on the membranes of sensi

Abstract:
Most bacterial plant pathogens colonize the surface of healthy plants as epiphytes before colonizing internally and initiating disease. The epiphytic phase of these pathogens is thus an important aspect of their epidemiology and a stage at which chemical and biological control is aimed. However, little is known of the genes and phenotypes that contribute to the ability of bacteria to grow on leaves and survive the variable physical environment in this habitat. In addition, while genes such as hrp awr and others which confer pathogenicity and in planta growth ability have been described, their
