In his study of Deinonychus, Ostrom proposed that these features stiffened the tail so that it could only flex at the base, and the whole tail would then move as a single, rigid, lever.
It features four stiffened gear loops and adjustable leg loops and the simple design makes tangling a rarity.
The experimental part of the study shows that the examined structures feature stiffening-type elastic response under large or moderately large axial strains induced by compressive loading.
A characteristic feature of these mice is stiffening of the joints that worsened with age; hence, the mouse phenotype was designated as 'ages with stiffened joints', asj.
Double-wall segments feature narrow cooling gaps with stiffening ribs between stainless steel shells.
The phenotypic features of these mice include stiffening of the joints [hence 'ages with stiffened joints' (asj)], and these mice were shown to harbor a missense mutation, p.V246D, in the Enpp1 gene.
The grid of stiffening ribs is the primary feature in these structures and filament winding is employed as the most convenient manufacturing technique.
Here, using a human breast cell line with conditional Src induction, we demonstrate that cells undergo a stiffening state prior to acquiring malignant features.
Using a breast cell line with conditional Src induction, we demonstrate that prior to cells acquiring malignant features, they undergo a transient stress-fibre-dependent stiffening state leading to cell proliferation and the progression towards a fully transformed state.
Regional wall stiffening and thickening are two common pathological features of arteries.
These basic building blocks have nanoscale features and play a major role in achieving combined stiffening, strengthening and toughening mechanisms.
