The direction of the microfibrils is called microfibril angle (MFA). In the secondary cell wall of fibres of trees a low microfibril angle is found in the S2-layer, while S1 and S3-layers show a higher MFA . However, the MFA can also change depending on the loads on the tissue. It has been shown that in reaction wood the MFA in S2-layer can ...
The Canadian horse breed still reflects this influence. [57] At the beginning of the 20th century, bidets were sent to Cochinchina to be crossed with native mares. [58] A breeder in Haut Corlay is trying to revive the local bidet by crossing Breton draft horses with thoroughbreds. A first foal was approved by the Breton horse studbook in 2010. [59]
It has a low stiffness ~0.6MPa but a high energy restoring percentage ~98%, and efficiently helps flying insects to flap wings or fleas to jump. Spider silk fibril is composed of stiff crystallized β-sheets structure, responsible for strength, and amorphous matrix surrounding, improving toughness and elongation ability. [ 16 ]
A microfibril is a very fine fibril, or fiber-like strand, consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose.It is usually, but not always, used as a general term in describing the structure of protein fiber, e.g. hair and sperm tail.

The Bidet was a type of small horse from France, now extinct. It was a landrace developed principally in the area around Brittany, Morvan, Auvergne, Poitou, and Burgundy.It stood about 110–135 centimetres at the withers. [1]
The Arabo-Friesian (Dutch: Arabo Friese Paard) is a recent breed of horse, selected over several generations since the 1960s to obtain the morphology of the modern Friesian combined with the endurance qualities of the Arabian. The creation of this breed was strongly contested by some Dutch Friesian breeders, who went so far as to set fire to ...
As of 2008, 209 horses in 16 U.S. states and one Canadian province were on the registry. [8] BLM undertook a roundup of the horse herd in 1997 to reduce its numbers, and officials expected to do another in late 2000 when the herd size reached 200. [6] By August 1999, there were 180 adult horses and colts on the range. [6]
