THE INTEGRATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY ABSORBERS INTO ROLLOVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS IN THE EVENT OF ROLLOVER

The Integration of Mechanical Energy Absorbers into Rollover Protective Structures to Improve the Safety of Agricultural Tractors in the Event of Rollover

The combination of safety belts and rollover protective structures (ROPSs) is key in improving the Aux Inlet safety of agricultural tractors in the event of rollover.However, we also have the opportunity to enhance the security provided by each ROPS; one such example is the combination of this safety device with adequate mechanical energy absorbers

Comparative rates of evolution in endosymbiotic nuclear genomes

Abstract Background The nucleomorphs associated with secondary plastids of cryptomonads and chlorarachniophytes are the sole examples of organelles with eukaryotic nuclear genomes.Although not as widespread as their prokaryotic equivalents in mitochondria and plastids, nucleomorph genomes share similarities in terms of reduction and compaction.They
