Filling dielectric porous matrices, particularly anodic aluminum oxide, with metal confers a promising solution for nanocomposite creation. In this regard, the problem of estimating and predicting the physical and mechanical properties of such materials is of prime importance. The present work focuses on the numerical modeling of the effective and ultimate stress-strain (under compression) characteristics of nanocomposites based on anodic aluminum oxide with unidirectional filamentary pores filled with different metals (In, Sn, and Zn). The dependences of the tensor components of the effective elastic moduli, coefficients of elastic anisotropy (in different directions), and compression strength (along the nanowires) on the structure parameters and the concentration of nanowires are investigated.
Aim: Gradual photoreceptor/ RPE deterioration/ vision loss in AMD is common, irrespective of US NEI AREDS I/II supplement risk reduction, or intra-vitreal anti-VEGF pharmacology. We evaluated dark adaptation (DA), a broad measure of photoreceptor / RPE health, with / without epigenetic modulation using a resveratrol-based caloric-restriction mimic (Longevinex ®www.longevinex.com).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
