Huge pink flocks of millions of flamingos—flamboyances of flamingos—are one of nature's great spectacles. But colleagues and ...

De-bonding at the fiber matrix interface, fiber and matrix fracture, and fiber pullout are involved in the propagation of cracks in composite lamellae. The diagram illustrates these processes for a ...

The flat beaks of ducks typically have soft edges for sensing food in the water and comblike lamellae inside to sieve out insects, seeds, and other morsels. (Photographed at Sylvan Heights Bird ...

Myelin is a concentrically laminated membrane structure surrounding an axon around which lamellae (or cellular protrusions) repeat radially at a period of about 12 nm (Waxman, Kocsis & Stys 1995 ...

Diffusion of oxygen into oxygen depleted blood. As blood moves through the gill, it encounters water that is increasingly oxygen rich. Diffusion continues as blood flows through lamellae, resulting in ...

At the end of a 28-day trial period where babies in the oil groups were treated with a few drops on their skin twice a day, the lipid lamellae structure in the skin of each baby was investigated and ...

Irish company BMS has led the way in innovative solutions to treat sewage, wastewater and surface water issues for 38 years ...

The proeutectoid cementite restricts plastic deformation to the ferrite lamellae in the pearlite and fracture occurs in the brittle grain boundary zone. In selecting such alloys for use in ...

Lesser flamingos feed by turning their heads upside down, pumping water through fine hair-like structures called lamellae in their beaks and catching only cyanobacteria of a certain size.
