Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Acid Attack on Concrete01:21

Acid Attack on Concrete

756
When acids come into contact with concrete, they initiate a chemical reaction that dissolves the hydrated cement paste. This process leads to softening and structural weakening of the concrete. This issue is commonly observed in environments such as chimneys, sewers, and industrial settings. The severity of the damage increases as the pH of the water interacting with the concrete drops below 6.5. In particular, a pH under 4.5 can cause significant concrete damage.

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts01:28

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts

1.4K
Flat belts are commonly used in various industrial applications for transmitting power from one pulley to another. When a flat belt is wrapped around a set of pulleys, it experiences different tensions at the driving pulley ends due to the friction between the belt and pulley surface. When the pulley moves in a counterclockwise direction, the tension T2 on the opposite side of the pulley where the belt is moving away from is higher than the tension T1 on the side where the belt is moving...

Sulfate Attack on Concrete01:29

Sulfate Attack on Concrete

740
Sulfate attack on concrete is a deterioration process characterized by a whitish discoloration beginning at the edges and corners, accompanied by cracking and spalling. This phenomenon occurs when sulfates react with the components of hardened concrete, forming compounds like calcium sulfate and calcium sulfoaluminate which occupy more space than the substances they replace, causing the concrete to expand and disrupt.
Sulfates from sources like soil, groundwater, or industrial effluents...

Flat Belts: Problem Solving01:28

Flat Belts: Problem Solving

819
Flat belts are crucial in many industrial applications as they help transmit power from one pulley to another. The concept of forces and moments is used to determine the maximum moment on a pulley. For instance, consider a flat belt that wraps around two pulleys, A and B, with radii of 30 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The angle between the belt and the horizontal is 20 degrees at the pulleys. As pulley B rotates clockwise and drives pulley A, tension T2 is caused at one end of the belt, while...

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.8K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic pathology
  • Explosives analysis
  • Disaster victim identification

Background:

  • Terrorist bomb attacks pose challenges for victim and perpetrator identification.
  • Body fragmentation from explosives complicates distinguishing victims from terrorists.
  • Timely identification is essential for legal and investigative purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze body fragmentation patterns in perpetrators of explosive attacks.
  • To identify specific features that differentiate terrorists from victims.
  • To improve the medico-legal identification process in terrorist incidents.

Main Methods:

  • Autopsy of six perpetrators carrying explosives.
  • Analysis of body sections and fragmentation patterns caused by explosive belts.
  • Examination of fracture features and damage to areas of constitutional weakness.

Main Results:

  • Explosive belts caused distinct body sections correlated with charge location.
  • Cross-sectional areas serve as indicators of explosive device placement.
  • Specific fracture features on weakened body areas were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Body fragmentation patterns can distinguish terrorists from victims.
  • Analysis of explosive-induced injuries aids in perpetrator identification.
  • These findings assist the medico-legal process in terrorist bombing investigations.
