Study on the mechanical properties of negative poisson’s ratio honeycomb prepared by equibiaxial compression method by LI Yuwei, SU Buyun, QIU Ji, SHU Xuefeng, LI Zhiqiang

“…ObjectiveNegative Poisson’s ratio materials are widely used in various fields because of their unique properties of expansion in tension and contraction in compression.MethodsA honeycomb material with negative Poisson’s ratio was obtained by equal biaxial compression of the two-dimensional Voronoi model, and the effects of different compression ratios on its static tensile/compressive mechanical properties were studied by numerical simulation.ResultsThe results show that the tensile and compressive stress-strain curves of the two-dimensional negative Poisson’s ratio honeycomb prepared by the above method have typical "three-stage" deformation characteristics of porous materials, and show significant tensile and compressive strength asymmetry. …”

Vertebrate TNF Superfamily: Evolution and Functional Insights by Ignacio Marín

“…In several gnathostome lineages, particularly in some tetrapods, the TNF superfamily has significantly contracted due to numerous gene losses. This evolutionary model provides a framework for exploring functional data, showing that the descendants of different ancestral genes have acquired distinct roles, most prominently in the innate and adaptive immune systems, which led to a species-specific refinement of which TNFSF genes were conserved or lost. …”

Shaping the 2010 Strategic Defence & Security Review : An Exercise in Squaring Conflicting Priorities by Jean-Claude Sergeant

“…But the main causes of this black hole are to be found in a combination of factors : the competition between the three Services for securing state-of-the-art equipment, often as a result of the required level of interoperability with American Forces ; the fact that this overspecification trend has been tacitly encouraged by the incapacity or unwillingness of the MoD to scrap an arms project once the main financial gate has been cleared irrespective of its wayward development ; the “cosy relationship” between major defence industrialists, MoD procurement officials and MPs, which often affects the way major contracts are awarded. Employment considerations are likely to trump cost saving attempts. …”
