Fusion Pores as Regulators of Quantal Size and Cellular Physiology
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.During regulated exocytosis, membrane fusion regulatory factors act directly on SNAREs and membrane lipids to control fusion pore dynamics. This, in turn, leads to a differential amount of cargo release (referred to in this article as “quantal size”) across various cell types, thereby triggering distinct physiological cues.

Experimental Validation of the Structural Fuse Concept [PDF]
, 2008 Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for repairs.

The crack problem in a reinforced cylindrical shell [PDF]
In this paper a partially reinforced cylinder containing an axial through crack is considered. The reinforcement is assumed to be fully bonded to the main cylinder. The composite cylinder is thus modelled by a nonhomogeneous shell having a step change in
