Composite laminates are widely used in various fields, but their structures are prone to cracks and damage. Due to the difference in angles of the instantaneous direction of the wave front propagation and the direction of the energy flow in an anisotropic material, the use of Lamb waves for damage localization in composite laminates is a challenging task. Establishing the wave front shape equation can overcome the difficulty of damage localization caused by anisotropy, but this usually requires a priori knowledge of the acoustic velocity distribution of the laminates, which is not convenient for efficient damage localization. In this paper, a damage localization method based on wave front shapes for composite laminates without any knowledge of the velocity profile is presented. Numerical simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method works. This method shows good damage localization accuracy and has broad application prospects in non-destructive testing for plate structures with strong anisotropy.

DLK-dependent axonal mitochondrial fission drives degeneration after axotomy.

Currently there are no effective treatments for an array of neurodegenerative disorders to a large part because cell-based models fail to recapitulate disease. Here we develop a reproducible human iPSC-based model where laser axotomy causes retrograde axon degeneration leading to neuronal cell death. Time-lapse confocal imaging revealed that damage triggers an apoptotic wave of mitochondrial fission proceeding from the site of injury to the soma.

Lymphangiomas are localized multi-cystic malformations of the lymphatic and vascular system, primarily affecting the head and neck regions in children. Orbital lymphangiomas are not considered hamartomas because the orbit does not commonly display lymphatic vessels. In this case report, we describe a male patient who was 15 years old and presented to our medical facility with the primary complaints of having a bulging left eye, sudden chemosis of the lower conjunctiva, and pain in the left eye.

Background: The Protozoan pathogen Eimeria is a significant issue in poultry production. Scientists are concerned with finding alternative strategies due to the spread of resistance against the commonly employed coccidiostats. This study examined how well myrrh extract (MyE) protected domesticated pigeons from an experimental Eimeria labbeana-like infection.

Host plants and various fungicides combat plant pathogens by triggering the release of excessive ROS, leading to DNA damage and subsequent cell death. The mechanisms by which the Phytophthora sojae mitigates ROS stress induced by plant immune responses and fungicides are not well understood. This study investigates the role of PsPARP1A-mediated poly (ADP-ribosylation) (PARylation) in ROS-induced DNA damage responses (DDR).

Bacterial implant-associated infections predominantly contribute to the failure of prosthesis implantation. The local biofilm microenvironment (BME), characterized by its hyperacidic condition and high hydrogen peroxide (HO) level, inhibits the host's immune response, thereby facilitating recurrent infections.
