    Low Porosity Metallic Periodic Structures with Negative Poisson's Ratio

    Get PDF
    Auxetic behavior in low porosity metallic structures is demonstrated via a simple system of orthogonal elliptical voids. In this minimal 2D system, the Poisson's ratio can be effectively controlled by changing the aspect ratio of the voids. In this way, large negative values of Poisson's ratio can be achieved, indicating an effective strategy for designing auxetic structures with desired porosity.Engineering and Applied Science

    Egyedi kézrögzítő fejlesztése és gyártása 3D nyomtatással

    Az additív gyártástechnológiák napjainkban egyre több területen jelennek meg, melyek közül az egyik legfontosabb az egészségügy. Segítségével egyedi tervezésű, személyre szabott kezelést nyújthatunk a betegeknek, ami a modern orvostudomány egyik alapja. A napjainkban alkalmazott törésrögzítés több szempontból is elavult, de a rendszer mérete, valamint az eljárás alacsony ára miatt nehezen fejleszthető. A hagyományos módszer sokszor kényelmetlen, nehézkes és kellemetlen. Ezt a törésrögzítési folyamatot egyedivé és könnyebbé teszi az additív gyártástechnológia és az eredményeképpen elkészült gyógyászati segédeszköz. A kutatás célja egy olyan eljárás kidolgozása, amely a mai egészségügyi rendszerben alkalmazott törésrögzítésre alternatívát nyújt. A hagyományos és a műanyag gipszkötés is számos hátránnyal rendelkezik, melyek az egyedi tervezésű és gyártású rögzítővel kiküszöbölhetővé válhatnak. A cél egy olyan eljárás és a folyamat során létrehozott termék bemutatása, amely a beteg státuszának felvételétől a kész ortézis kézhezvételéig tart. A rögzítő elkészítésének főbb folyamatpontjai: a beteg státuszának felvétele, kéz digitális letapogatása, 3D-s modell elkészítése, optimalizálása, a rögzítő nyomtatása, utómunkálatok elvégzése, tesztelése, majd végül a beteg tájékoztatása a használattal kapcsolatban

    Interactive effects of genotype and N/S-supply on glucosinolates and glucosinolate breakdown products in Chinese cabbage (<i>Brassica rapa</i> L. ssp. <i>pekinensis</i>)

    Chinese cabbage is rich in glucosinolates (GLS) and their breakdown products, mainly isothiocyanates (ITC), which are assumed to be human health-promoting compounds. Sulphur and nitrogen have been shown to influence concentrations and patterns of both. Little is known as to whether the effect of varying sulphur and nitrogen nutrition on glucosinolate and isothiocyanate content is influenced by the genotype. Therefore, two cultivars of Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis were grown with increasing S (0.0, 0.3, and 0.6 g pot-1) and N (1 and 2 g pot-1) supply. Results show that total GLS concentration increased with higher N and S application, but ratios between individual GLS compounds remained unchanged. High N supply reduced the concentration of GLS, especially of the aliphatic ones, while the indole and aromatic GLS exhibited statistically insignificant responses to increasing N and S application. The profile of breakdown products was dominated by epithionitriles, followed by ITCs and nitriles. The ITCs were substantially reduced in response to increasing N and decreasing S supply. This was not observed for nitriles. Overall, GLS pattern were primarily influenced by the genetic background of the cultivar and less influenced by differential nutrition. Results show that selection of the cultivar is of utmost importance when glucosinolates and their breakdown products shall be increased by fertilization.   The online version of this article (doi: 10.5073/JABFQ.2016.089.036) contains supplementary files

    pH regulation in anoxic rice coleoptiles at pH 3.5: biochemical pHstats and net H+ influx in the absence and presence of NO3−

    During anoxia, cytoplasmic pH regulation is crucial. Mechanisms of pH regulation were studied in the coleoptile of rice exposed to anoxia and pH 3.5, resulting in H+ influx. Germinating rice seedlings survived a combination of anoxia and exposure to pH 3.5 for at least 4 d, although development was retarded and net K+ efflux was continuous. Further experiments used excised coleoptile tips (7–10 mm) in anoxia at pH 6.5 or 3.5, either without or with 0.2 mM NO3−, which distinguished two processes involved in pH regulation. Net H+ influx (μmol g−1 fresh weight h−1) for coleoptiles with NO3− was ∼1.55 over the first 24 h, being about twice that in the absence of NO3−, but then decreased to 0.5–0.9 as net NO3− uptake declined from ∼1.3 to 0.5, indicating reduced uptake via H+–NO3− symports. NO3− reduction presumably functioned as a biochemical pHstat. A second biochemical pHstat consisted of malate and succinate, and their concentrations decreased substantially with time after exposure to pH 3.5. In anoxic coleoptiles, K+ balancing the organic anions was effluxed to the medium as organic anions declined, and this efflux rate was independent of NO3− supply. Thus, biochemical pHstats and reduced net H+ influx across the plasma membrane are important features contributing to pH regulation in anoxia-tolerant rice coleoptiles at pH 3.5
