Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a small colorless amine oxide generated from choline, betaine, and carnitine by gut microbial metabolism.It accumulates in the tissue of marine animals in high concentrations and protects against the protein-destabilizing effects of urea.Plasma level of TMAO is determined by a number of factors including diet, gut m
In this paper, Ta50-Zr50 and Ta45-Zr45-Nb10 alloys were compounded by casting.Quasi-static and dynamic compression tests were applied for both alloys, and also the role of Nb Changing baskets additive on the mechanical property of Zr-Ta alloy, was studied.The microstructure characterization demonstrated that both alloys had relative homogeneous str
Abstract Tunas, lamnid sharks, modern whales, Server and derived ichthyosaurs converged on the thunniform body plan, with a fusiform body, lunate caudal fin, compressed peduncle, and peduncle joint.This evolutionary convergence has been studied for a long time but little is known about whether all four clades share any skeletal characteristics.Comp
In this paper, an extremely low-profile ferrite dipole antenna operating on the VHF band (30−300 MHz) is proposed.The design antenna consists of 44 plate-type ferrite cells arranged into two stacked ferrite layers: a bottom ferrite layer with 2 × 12 tool grid cells and a top ferrite layer with 2 × 10 grid cells.The antenna is excite
