Journal ArticleDOI
Ingested RNA interference for managing the populations of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata.
TL;DR: This study provides the first example of an effective RNAi response in insects after feeding ds RNA produced in bacteria, and suggests that the efficient induction of RNAi using bacteria to deliver dsRNA is a possible method for management of Colorado potato beetle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-tomography based analysis of thermal conductivity, diffusivity and oxidation behavior of rigid and flexible fibrous insulators
Francesco Panerai,Francesco Panerai,Joseph C. Ferguson,Joseph C. Ferguson,Jean Lachaud,Alexandre Martin,Matthew Gasch,Nagi N. Mansour +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the properties and oxidation behavior of low-density felts used as substrates for conformal carbon/phenolic ablators with those of a rigid carbon fiber preform used to manufacture heritage lightweight ablators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the oxidation of low-density carbon fiber material based on micro-tomography
Joseph C. Ferguson,Francesco Panerai,Jean Lachaud,Alexandre Martin,Sean C. C. Bailey,Nagi N. Mansour +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the diffusion/reaction processes on the decomposition of a porous carbon material in various regimes were investigated using a particle method for simulations of the oxidation process at microscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
PuMA: the Porous Microstructure Analysis software
TL;DR: The PuMA software has been developed in order to compute effective material properties and perform material response simulations on digitized microstructures of porous media and includes a time-dependent, particle-based model for the oxidation of fibrous materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic analysis of fibrous and woven materials part 2: Computation of effective conductivity
Federico Semeraro,Joseph C. Ferguson,Joseph C. Ferguson,Marcos Acin,Francesco Panerai,Nagi N. Mansour +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-point flux approximation method was used to predict the thermal conductivity of anisotropic materials based on the three-dimensional reconstruction of their fibrous structure, obtained from X-ray micro-tomography.
