Soft robots grew to prominence in large part because they promised a new and exciting means for engineers to develop robots that are both highly adaptable and safe for direct human interaction.However, despite showing substantial promise in this area, soft robots have not yet seen widespread adoption.Two major factors that have prevented the develo
Multiple Activities Associated with the Capsid Protein of Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus Are Controlled Separately by the N- and C-Terminal Regions
The 17-kDa capsid protein (CP) of satellite panicum mosaic virus (SPMV) contains a distinct N-terminal arginine-rich motif (N-ARM) which is required for SPMV virion assembly and the activity of SPMV CP to promote systemic accumulation of its cognate RNA.The present study indicates that SPMV opi mauvnetic poles CP also is involved in SPMV RNA accumu
Investigation of VLF and HF waves showing seismo-ionospheric anomalies induced by the 29 September 2009 Samoa earthquake (Mw=8.1)
In Samoa Islands, a powerful earthquake took place at 17:48:10.99 UTC (06:48:10.99 LT) on 29 September 2009 with a magnitude Mw=8.1.Using ICE (Instrument Champ Electrique) and IMSC (Instrument Magnetic Search Coil) experiments onboard the DEMETER (Detection of Electromagnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) satellite we have surveyed
Graph-Analytical Method for Calculating Settlement of a Single Pile Taking into Account Soil Slippage
Most of the existing methods of pile settlement calculation, including normative methods, do not fully take into account the processes occurring in the soil when loads are transferred to them and the changes in the properties of the contact zone soils.This leads to underutilisation of the bearing capacity of the soil, and the calculated settlement
