Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal two new species and a new record of Apiospora (Amphisphaeriales, Apiosporaceae) in China

The genus Apiospora includes endophytes, pathogens and saprobes, with a wide host range and geographic distribution.In this paper, six Apiospora strains isolated from diseased and healthy tissues of bamboo leaves from Hainan and Shandong provinces Collections in China were classified using a multi-locus phylogeny based on a combined dataset of ITS,

Modeling the production of belly button lint

Abstract We show that respiratory cycle provides a periodic traction force for the production of belly button lint or navel fluff.The relative motion induced between clothing and skin, during breathing, transports Comforter the clothing fibers over the abdominal skin via an asymmetric sliding mechanism effected by the specific orientation of the cu

Aerodynamic efficiency enhancement for asymmetric profiles

This paper presents Horse Shampoo a solution for enhancement of aerodynamic efficiency for asymmetric airfoils.In order to increase the lift and reduce the drag forces for a blade segment, a groove was created on its surface.There were carried out experiments consisting in the analysis of two asymmetric airfoil segments of the same type in the wind
