The Effect of Temperature over the Growth and Biofilm Formation of the Thermotolerant <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> by José Alejandro Hernández-Benítez, Brenda Nallely Santos-Ocampo, Daniel Genaro Rosas-Ramírez, Luis Antonio Bautista-Hernández, Víctor Manuel Bautista-de Lucio, Néstor Octavio Pérez, Aída Verónica Rodríguez-Tovar

“…Moreover, we determined that 37 °C was the optimal temperature for conidial germination and biofilm formation. We described four distinct phases in <i>A. flavus</i> biofilm development—initiation (0–12 h), consolidation (12–24 h), maturation (24–48 h), and dispersion (48–72 h)—with the notable presence of conidial heads at 42 °C. …”

Uptake of Seeds Secondary Metabolites by Virola surinamensis Seedlings by Massuo Jorge Kato, Massayoshi Yoshida, Norberto Peporine Lopes, Denise Brentan da Silva, Alberto José Cavalheiro

“…The major secondary metabolites and fatty acids occurring in the seeds of Virola surinamensis were monitored by GC-MS during germination and seedling development. The role as carbon source for seedling development was indicated considering that both classes of compounds were similarly consumed in the seeds and that no selective consumption of compounds could be detected.…”

STUDY ON CRACK PROPAGATION MECHANISM OF TUNGSTEN UNDER UNIAXIAL LOADING by MA Lei, HUANG JunYuan

“…The results showed that the yield strength of the crack was the largest when stretching in the [111] direction,[110] is the second,[001] is the smallest,and the yielding platform appeared in the stress-strain curve of the [110]crystal orientation,indicating better plasticity and tensile properties,the main deformation mechanism were slip bands when the crack propagates germination. The crack in[111]orientation formed dislocations during the expansion process,and the crack expanded in the form of blunting and voids.The above showed that the crack in different crystal orientation had different microstruction evolution at crack tip.…”
