Crystallographic texturing enables the design of piezoelectric polycrystals that outperform traditional random polycrystals by exhibiting outstanding piezoelectric properties.In this work, phase-field modeling and computer simulation were employed to study the effect of crystallographic texture on the piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric polyc

Energy Supply of Leningrad before the Blockade of the City: Planning Miscalculations and Their Consequences
The article analyzes the main factors and reasons for the decrease in the working capacity of the Leningrad power system before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, at the same time, it assesses the readiness of city services for the hardest military tests that befell the residents of the city.According to Duckbill Clips the authors of the publ
Rapid Hip Osteoarthritis Development in a Patient with Anterior Acetabular Cyst with Sagittal Alignment Change
Rapidly destructive coxarthrosis (RDC) is rare and develops unusual clinical course.Recent studies suggest multiple possible mechanisms of the development of RDC.However the exact mechanism of RDC is still not clear.The difficulty of the study on RDC is attributed to its rareness and the fact that the data before the onset Swiss Army Knives of RDC
Whole blood and blood components from vertebrates differentially affect egg formation in three species of anautogenous mosquitoes
Abstract Background Most female mosquitoes are anautogenous and must blood feed on a vertebrate host to produce eggs.Prior studies show that the number of eggs females lay per clutch correlates with the volume of blood ingested and that protein is the most important macronutrient for egg formation.In contrast, how whole blood, blood fractions and s
