Crashworthiness Study of 3D Printed Lattice Reinforced Thin-Walled Tube Hybrid Structures.

Based on the advantages of thin-walled tubes and lattice structures in energy absorption and improved crashworthiness, a hybrid structure of lattice-reinforced thin-walled tubes with different cross-sectional cell numbers and gradient densities was constructed, and a high crashworthiness absorber with adjustable energy absorption was proposed. The experimental and finite element characterization of the impact resistance of uniform density and gradient density hybrid tubes with different lattice arrangements to withstand axial compression was carried out to investigate the interaction mechanism between the lattice packing and the metal shell, and the energy absorption of the hybrid structure was increased by 43.40% relative to the sum of its individual components.

Compression Deformation Prediction of Chiral Metamaterials: A Compression-Shear Coupling Model.

A category of metamaterials consisting of chiral cytosolic elements assembled periodically, in which the introduction of a rotatable annular structure gives metamaterials the ability to deform in compression-shear, has been a focus of research in recent years. In this paper, a compression-shear coupling model is developed to predict the compressive deformation behaviour of chiral metamaterials. This behaviour will be analysed by coupling the rotation of the annular node and the bending characteristics of ligament beam, which are obtained as a function of the length of ligament beam and the angle of rotation at the end of the beam.

Rapid Detection and Differentiating of the Predominant Serovars in Chicken Farm by TaqMan Multiplex Real-Time PCR Assay.

has been known as an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause a variety of diseases in both animals and humans. Poultry are the main reservoir for the serovars Pullorum (. Pullorum), Gallinarum (.

Mechanical Properties of Cemented Particulate Composite: A 3D Micromechanical Model.

Cemented particulate composite is a kind of composite material with high strength, high energy absorption, and multifunctional characteristics, which is widely used in engineering practice. The calculation of the mechanical properties of granular composites based on theoretical methods has always been a topic of discussion. A micromechanical model with a three-dimensional rigid beam-spring network (3D-RBSN) is proposed here.

DctR contributes to the virulence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli through regulation of type III secretion system 2 expression.

Pathogens could precisely alter their gene expression to facilitate their survival and successful infection. The LuxR family transcriptional regulator DctR (also known as YhiF) was shown to participate in the regulation of acid fitness and adhesion of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) O157:H7.

Characterization of a Broad-Host-Range Lytic Phage SHWT1 Against Multidrug-Resistant and Evaluation of Its Therapeutic Efficacy and .

Inappropriate use of antibiotics has accelerated to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, becoming a major health threat. Moreover, bacterial biofilms contribute to antibiotic resistance and prolonged infections. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy may provide an alternative strategy for controlling multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.

Information Disclosure During the COVID-19 Epidemic in China: City-Level Observational Study.

Background: Information disclosure is a top priority for official responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The timely and standardized information published by authorities as a response to the crisis can better inform the public and enable better preparations for the pandemic; however, there is limited evidence of any systematic analyses of the disclosed epidemic information. This in turn has important implications for risk communication.
