Architected materials composed of instability-based unit cells have been exploited in energy dissipation/absorption applications.One stability-based unit cell type that comprises slender beams can experience geometrical nonlinearities under small forces.Although reusability provided by these materials is attractive to engineering applications, the
Negro Comrades of the Crown unveils the amazing history of the alliances that African Americans in search of individual and group freedom forged throughout the antebellum decades with the British Empire.Black soldiers WHITE WILLOW were recruited by the British, who had their own imperial and diplomatic interests, in opposing the United States.Wheth
Abstract Empirical evidence has shown that visually enhancing the saliency Party of reward probabilities can ease the cognitive demands of value comparisons and improve value-based decisions in old age.In the present study, we used a time-varying drift diffusion model that includes starting time parameters to better understand (1) how increasing th
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is highly effective in preventing disease progression of rabies when used in timely and appropriate manner.The key treatment for PEP is infiltration of rabies immune globulin (RIG) into lesion site after bite exposure, besides wound care and vaccination.Unfortunately, however, RIG is expensive and its supply is limit
Summary: Biofilm formation, a major concern for healthcare systems, is initiated when bacteria adhere to surfaces.Escherichia coli adhesion is mediated by appendages, including type-1 fimbriae and curli amyloid fibers.Antifouling surfaces prevent the adhesion of bacteria to combat biofilm formation.Here, we used single-cell force-spectroscopy to st
