The aim of this work was to study the ultimate behaviour of box-shaped aluminium members subjected to uniform compression.Eight stub column tests have been carried out at the University of Salerno.In particular, four box sections made of 6060 aluminium alloys with different width-to-thickness ratios have been investigated.The results have been repo
Decoding early stress signaling waves in living plants using nanosensor multiplexing
Abstract Increased exposure to environmental stresses due to climate change have adversely affected plant growth and productivity.Upon stress, plants activate a signaling cascade, involving multiple molecules like H2O2, and plant hormones Brides such as salicylic acid (SA) leading to resistance or stress adaptation.However, the temporal ordering an
Femtosecond-Laser-Pulse Characterization and Optimization for CARS Microscopy.
We present a simple method and its experimental implementation to determine the pulse durations and linear chirps of the pump-and-probe pulse and the Stokes pulse in a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscope at sample level without additional autocorrelators.Our approach exploits the VITAMIN C CRYSTALS 1000MG delay line, ubiquitous in such
Engagement with body image health promotion videos in adult men and women: differences between narrative, informational, and persuasive appeal approaches
Abstract Background Body dissatisfaction is a public health issue, however, low awareness of its seriousness, and stigma, may inhibit treatment seeking.The current study evaluated engagement with videos promoting awareness of body dissatisfaction using a persuasive communication approach.Method Men (n = 283) and women (n = 290) were randomly alloca
