STANDARD GRADIENT MODELS AND CRACK SIMULATION

Standard gradient models and crack simulation

The standard gradient models have been intensively studied in the literature, cf.Fremond (1985) or Gurtin (1991) for various applications in plasticity, damage mechanics and phase change analysis.The governing equations for a solid have been introduced essentially from an extended version of the virtual equation.It is shown here first that these eq

Quantification of the PEGylated Gold Nanoparticles Protein Corona. Influence on Nanoparticle Size and Surface Chemistry

The interactions of nanoparticles with living organisms are driven by an interface called the protein corona.This interface is formed when nanoparticles are introduced in biological milieu and proteins are adsorbed at nanoparticles’ surfaces.Understanding the factors that are responsible for the formation and the composition of the protein co

Adding pieces to the puzzle: insights into diversity and distribution patterns of Cumacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from the deep North Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean

The Nordic Seas have one of the highest water-mass diversities in the world, yet large knowledge gaps exist in biodiversity structure and biogeographical distribution patterns of the deep macrobenthic fauna.This study focuses on the marine bottom-dwelling peracarid crustacean taxon Cumacea from northern waters, using a combined approach of morpholo
