A series of TiNbHf alloys ranging from 0-40 atomic %
Nb and 0-15 atomic % Hf were evaluated to investigate
low-elastic modulus phenomena which occur in this ternary
system. The desirability of utilizing corrosion-resistant, biocompatible alloys with elastic modulus values
approaching that of human bone for medical prosthetic
implants provides...
The f-plane linear shallow-water equations support coastal Kelvin waves. These waves propagate along the coast and have zero velocity normal to the coast. It is shown that the balance equations also support coastal Kelvin waves, but these waves differ depending upon the boundary conditions imposed. Three different boundary conditions and...
Endogenous small RNAs (endo-siRNAs) interact with Argonaute (AGO) proteins to mediate
sequence-specific regulation of diverse biological processes. Here, we combine deep-sequencing and
genetic approaches to explore the biogenesis and function of endo-siRNAs in C. elegans. We describe
conditional alleles of the dicer-related helicase, drh-3, that abrogate both RNA interference and...
