    A ball-and-stick model of polypropylene. Prolene is a brand of synthetic polypropylene used in monofilament nonabsorbable sutures and meshes. The suture is indicated for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation and ligation.

  3. Proline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline

    Furthermore, proline is rarely found in α and β structures as it would reduce the stability of such structures, because its side chain α-nitrogen can only form one nitrogen bond. Additionally, proline is the only amino acid that does not form a red-purple colour when developed by spraying with ninhydrin for uses in chromatography. Proline ...

    Bias The bias direction of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as "the bias", is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads. Every piece of woven fabric has two biases, perpendicular to each other. Non-woven fabrics such as felt or interfacing do not have a bias. bias tape Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial-position_effect

    Serial-position effect is the tendency of a person to recall the first and last items in a series best, and the middle items worst. [1] The term was coined by Hermann Ebbinghaus through studies he performed on himself, and refers to the finding that recall accuracy varies as a function of an item's position within a study list. [2]

  6. Grain (textile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(textile)

    Woven fabric is more elastic as well as more fluid in the bias direction, compared to the straight and cross grains. This property facilitates garments and garment details that require extra elasticity, drapability or flexibility, such as bias-cut skirts and dresses, neckties , piping trims and decorations, bound seams, etc.

    Finally, both lines are plotted on the Ashby chart. Figure 3. Ashby chart with performance indices plotted for maximum result. First, the best bending materials can be found by examining which regions are higher on the graph than the / bending line. In this case, some of the foams (blue) and technical ceramics (pink) are higher than the line.
