However, unlike other materials used in metallurgy they have a disadvantage of uneven quality and anisotropy when combined with other composites. Hence, specimens of CFRP stacking plates are manufactured by changing orientation angles throughout three quasiisotropic plies (0°/45°/90°/-45°)68, (03°/453°/903°/-453°)2s, and (06°/456°/906°/-456°)s and throughout three cross plies (0°/90°/0°/90°)68, (03 °/903 °/03°/903°)2s, and (06 °/906 °/06°/906°)8 In this study 3-point bending tests and transverse bending tests have been carried out in order to find out mechanical characteristics according to orientation angles by stacking in 6 different types along with the change of stacking composition method of a CFRP composite.展开更多

We recently showed that LF-induced IgA class switching through binding to betaglycan (transforming growth factor-beta receptor III, TpRIII) and activation of canonical TGF-p signaling. We investigated the combined effect of LF and RA on the overall IgA response. An increase in IgA production by LF was further augmented by RA. This combination effect was also evident in Ig germ-line α (GLa) transcription and GLa promoter activity, indicating that LF in cooperation with RA increased IgA isotype switching. We subsequently found that RA enhanced TβRIII expression and that this increase contributed to LF-stimulated IgA production. In addition to the IgA response, LF and RA in combination also enhanced the expression of the gut-homing molecules C-C chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) and a4β7 on B cells. Finally, peroral administration of LF and RA enhanced the frequency of CCR9+ IgA+ plasma cells in the lamina propria. Taken together, these results suggest that LF in cooperation with RA can contribute to the establishment of gut IgA responses.展开更多
