In the past decade, several higher-order crystal plasticity models have been developed to properly capture size effects, dislocation pile-up and patterning. Here we consider a formulation which accounts for the presence and behavior of both positive and negative dislocations in terms of densities. We derive an implici…

The U32 family is a collection of over 2500 annotated peptidases in the MEROPS database with unknown catalytic mechanism. They mainly occur in bacteria and archaea, but a few representatives have also been identified in eukarya. Many of the U32 members have been linked to pathogenicity, such as proteins from Helicobac…

A major challenge to emerging cell-based medicine including gene therapy is the host immune rejection of transplanted donor cells or engineered tissue. One way to address this problem is to use drugs to achieve immunosuppression. However, suppressing the patient’s immune system may put the patient at risk for many oth…

Abstract A novel type of aramid fibers coated with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEGME)-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was designed using electrophoresis. Owing to the good interaction of MWCNT-PEGME with the matrix, the coated fibers were well dispersed in epoxy resin. Thin films of epoxy/arami…
