BackgroundESCRT-III proteins are involved in many membrane remodeling processes including multivesicular body biogenesis as first discovered in yeast. In humans, ESCRT-III CHMP2 exists as two isoforms, CHMP2A and CHMP2B, but their physical characteristics have not been compared yet.ResultsHere, we use a combination of techniques on biomimetic syste...

Rigid pavement provides excellent advantages in terms of durability and economic efficiency. However, appropriate maintenance of this pavement is difficult in case of deterioration. Drying shrinkage cracking in the rigid pavement is the main reason of such disadvantages, and the need of maintenance on road sites is rising every day. For the aim of ...

The weldability of the AA2024-T3 and AZ31 Mg alloys was investigated using the modified friction stir clinching-brazing (MFSC-B) and probe-less friction stir spot brazing (PFSSB) processes. A 50 µm thick Zn foil-interlayer was sandwiched between the dissimilar base materials for the welding processes. The mechanical, microstructure, and weld-fractu...

Mechanical properties of AlxIn1−xPySb1−y quaternary alloy in zinc-blend structure lattice-matched to GaSb substrate are studied under the effects of temperature and pressure. The calculations are done based on empirical pseudopotential method modified with virtual crystal approximation joins compositional disorder impact. Such a model provides anal...

Polymer blending has been a simple and efficient way for designing and controlling the performance of polymeric materials using easily available types. Both polycarbonate and polyamide have excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability but their disadvantages such as limited chemical or water resistance can be eliminate by tailoring them. M...

Clay brick is one of the major components of demolition waste, which is generally landfilled. Effective and new uses of recycled clay brick may provide sustainability benefits in terms of landfill reduction. Therefore, this research aims at applying Recycled fine clay brick aggregates (RFCBA) with sizes from 0.075 mm–4.75 mm to prepare Self-compact...

Carbon fiber-reinforced carbon composite (CFC)/Ti6Al4V alloy brazing has been performed with Ag–Cu–Ti braze and Nb (or W) foil. Satisfactory bonding is achieved at the interfaces among substrates, refractory metal layer and fillers. The joining region consists of filler I, refractory metal layer and filler II. The fillers I and II are composed of A...

Reinforcement of second phase particle in metal/alloy to develop metal matrix composite is a standard practice to enhance various properties required for commercial applications. In this work, an industrial waste, fly ash, has been used as reinforcement in aluminum alloy AA5083 to improve its physical, mechanical, and tribological properties. The m...

Herein, we utilized molecular dynamic (MD) simulations using LAMMPS software and selecting Tersoff and Lennard-Jones potentials to design and investigate mechanical properties of (8,8), (9,9), (10,10), and (11,11) single-walled and (8,8)@(11,11) double-walled silicon-germanium (SiGe) armchair nanopeapods. The number of encapsulated fullerenes and t...
Cold-formed steel (CFS) claddings are increasingly used in bushfire prone areas in Australia due to their non-combustibility and are recommended in the Australian standard AS 3959 for the design of buildings in bushfire prone areas. Thus, good knowledge and understanding of their behaviour at elevated temperatures is important for the safe design o...
