After the preamplifier, the beam is expanded to 2 mm, collimated and imaged onto a 1 mm aperture, producing a flat-top intensity profile. A 3-element telescope relays the aperture plane to the amplifier with a collimated 0.5-mm diameter. The telescope contains a spatial filter pinhole. The nominal power levels are 3 mW into the preamp, 500 mW out of the preamp and 200 mW out of the aperture. A 6° angle of incidence bounce beam geometry is utilized in the amplifier cell. The "bounce" foofprinf overlaps with the 4 pump beam fibers, arranged in 2 time sefs of 13 kHz. The pump fibers have f 50-60% fransmission. The amplifier brings the power up to < 20 W at 26 kHz. 

Elimination of the interlaminar surfaces through the fully integrated nature of fiber arrangement. 

Histologically, the silicotic nodule consists of a relatively acellular, avascular core of hyalinized reticulin fibers arranged concentrically and blending with collagen fibers toward the periphery, which has well-defined borders. ... 

In all sensory systems, this afferent pathway consists of at least three neurons (nerve cell and nerve fiber) arranged in a continuous chain. The transfer of nervous signals from one neuron to the next occurs in well-defined loci called synapses.

Descemet s membrane is the basement membrane of the endothelial cells. It is comprised of collagen fibers arranged in a hexagonal pattern and embedded in a matrix. 

What kind of neural mechanism plays the role of the coherent light source to make and display holograms Perhaps a kind of coherence results from the anatomical fact that the retina and visual cortex are linked by many thousands of fibers arranged in parallel pathways. Or it could be that the nerve cells in the visual charmel achieve coherence by rhythmic firing. Still another possibility is that coherence results from the operation of the variety... 

It is important to predict the properties of a composite from its components. Some properties, like density, can be estimated by using the simple rule of mixtures, knowing only the relative proportions of the components. The theoretical prediction of mechanical properties is not easy because of the complexity of the stress and strain distribution in the composite under load. However, reasonably accurate predictions can be made for simple fiber arrangements using some assumptions about the stress and strain distributions. 

It is assumed that the tube is made of a composite material which is composed of stiff duetile fibers arranged in a parallel uniform array in a ductile matrix. The eomposites of metal-metal type are eonsidered, first of all. However, the combination of a ductile matrix with brittle fibers can be easily accounted for, as well. As an example of the latter ease serves the aluminium alloy reinforced with boron fibers.

The kidney contains small amounts of fibrillar collagen, but its major collagen is a non-fibrillar network collagen (type IV), a part of basal laminas called the lamina densa (Sect. 5.1.1). Basal laminas are especially well developed in the kidney as exemplified in the glomerulus (Fig. 3.2). The collagen contents of various tissues are indicated in Table 3.2 and their fiber arrangements in Table 3.3.

Thermal management of carbon-carbon composites by functionally graded fiber arrangement technique... 

Next to mechanical properties, the most important characteristics of a carbon-carbon composite(C/C) are thermal conduction and thermal expansion. In this paper, several investigations have been made into carbon fiber arrangement relationships for different carbon-carbon composite materials. Pitch-derived carbon matrix-carbon fiber composites have been used, processed by means of the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technique for converting pitch into a dry carbon fiber preform. Repeated HIP cycles are required to build the composite matrix up to an acceptably high density/low porosity for deployment in severely ablative environments. 

The effects of heat treatment temperatures on thermal conductivity, thermal conductivity at high temperatures and thermal expansion behavior have been studied. At room temperature, the value of thermal conductivity for unidirectional (UD) carbon-carbon composites is 700 W/m K. In the case of three-dimensional (3D) carbon-carbon composites, this value is determined by the volume of the fiber arrangements. On the other hand, the thermal expansion of carbon-carbon composites in the fiber axial direction is chiefly governed by the thermal expansion of the fiber. 

On the basis of this fundamental research, a functional graded fiber arrangement technique has been proposed which presents the opportunity to tailor thermophysical properties into carbon materials.
