FRACTURE STATISTICS OF PORCELAIN CERAMIC: THE INFLUENCE OF ZIRCONIA ADDITIVE AND SINTERING TEMPERATURE


Hair cell bundles: flexoelectric motors of the inner ear.

Microvilli (stereocilia) projecting from the apex of hair cells in the inner ear are actively motile structures that feed energy into the vibration of the inner ear and enhance sensitivity to sound.The biophysical mechanism underlying the hair bundle motor is unknown.In this study, we examined a membrane flexoelectric origin for active movements in

Diel, temporal, and spatial patterns of biotic soundscapes among Alabama artificial reefs in late spring and summer

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) in a variety of marine habitats has revealed distinct spatial and temporal variation of fish sounds that are predicted to vary in association with species composition and abundance, as well as diel and seasonal influences.Reefs in the Alabama Artificial Reef Jumbo OFC Zone (AARZ) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGO
