Remarkably, adhesive and pro-inflammatory properties of curli fibres are counteracted by the concomitant production of cellulose (Wang et al, 2006; Kai-Larsen et al, 2010), which in tight association with curli fibres forms a composite material surrounding the producing cells in the matrix of a biofilm (Serra et al, 2013a; Serra & Hengge, 2014).
The wall of the blood vessel was modelled as a layer with a thickness of 1 μm and the tumour tissue as a homogeneous material surrounding the vessel wall.
We study the finite plane deformations of a particular harmonic material surrounding an elliptical hole whose boundary incorporates the contribution of surface mechanics.
They discovered a gaping hole in a disc of material surrounding the centre of the quasar, as wide as 4,000 times the distance from the Earth to the sun.
In 1983 it was discovered to be an unexpectedly strong source of infrared radiation of the character that would be produced by a disk of material surrounding the star.
A reflector is a region of unfueled material surrounding the core.
Fibres have an anisotropic wall material surrounding the lumen, which may be empty or filled with resin.
Eventually, the researchers would like to apply their pocket detector as a means of muon tomography, a technique that uses the distribution of muons to create a three-dimensional image of the amount of material surrounding a detector.
This paper considers a fluid-loaded sandwich panel, made up of layers of relatively rigid skin material surrounding a layer of less dense core material, with an unsteady point driver in steady mean flow.
In the data, they found evidence for gamma rays that had come from the decay of a type of particle, called a neutral pion, which is created when cosmic rays interact with the material surrounding a supernova.
