BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF A BUZZ-POLLINATED FLOWER

Biomechanical properties of a buzz-pollinated flower

Approximately half of all bee species use vibrations to remove pollen from plants with diverse floral morphologies.In many buzz-pollinated flowers, these mechanical vibrations generated by bees are transmitted through floral tissues, principally pollen-containing anthers, causing pollen to be ejected from small openings (pores or slits) at the tip

Effect of Super Plasticizer on the Properties of Pre-cast Concrete Flags Reinforced by Steel Fibers and Including Slag

This research has studied the possibility of optimizing some of the properties of the precast concrete flags by using by-products of steel fragments from the CNC machines and local slag, the combined influence of these materials338with the water reducing agent.The local slag is produced by the blast furnace from the scrap as a raw material, which i
