An improved model of the Pacinian corpuscle includes corrections for lamellar curvature. Results suggest that outer-zone lamellae produce a focusing effect whereby stimuli are channeled radially ...

We report alignment of anisotropic amphiphilic dye molecules within oblate and prolate anisotropic micelles and lamellae, the basic building blocks of surfactant-based lyotropic liquid crystals.

Oklahoma Geology Notes are periodical publications of the Oklahoma Geological Survey containing short scientific and technical articles, mineral and petroleum statistics, the Director's annual report, ...

The deformations of individual lamellae obtained in normal and inverted vessel segments were averaged to determine their extensions independent of location. Results showed that the extensibilities of ...

THUNGELA Resources reported higher-than-forecast operating costs at its coal mines for the year-to-date (end-May) owing to production disruptions. Heavy rains disrupted production at Isibonelo and ...

As Earth’s magnetic field has risen, so have the conditions that helped complex life to thrive — a discovery that could aid the search for life on distant planets.

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting the two factors are linked in some way, researchers say.
