Evaluation of the shear wave velocity (VS) of an artificial carbonate sand obtained with the use of bender elements test

Dyna, 2021
Carbonate sand is characterized by the presence of fragile grains, which may influence their mechanical response due to the imposed loading; especially cyclic loading.

Experimental study on liquefaction characteristics of sand with fines under different particle size ratios

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
A series of undrained cyclic triaxial and bender element tests are carried out on sandy soils with three different particle size ratios by using the GDS cyclic triaxial apparatus with bender elements.

EFFECT OF ALIGNMENT ON THE QUALITY OF BENDER ELEMENT PROCEDURE

Jurnal Teknologi, 2015
One of the main geophysical tools (seismic tools) in the laboratory is the bender element. This tool can be used to measure some dynamic soil properties (e.g. shear and Young’s modulus). However, even if it relatively simple to use the bender element, inconsistent testing procedures can cause poor quality in the bender element data.

Paclitaxel induces NM2‐dependent cellular contraction through GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and RhoA/ROCK activation in cancer cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

The effects of internal erosion on granular soils used in transport embankments

Soils and Foundations
The flooding of embankments used for rail and other infrastructure has the potential to cause lasting weakening of slopes via the movement of fine particles induced by seepage.

Laboratory Investigation on the Stress-Dependent Anisotropic Shear Wave Velocity (Vs) and Coefficient of Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest (K0) of Granular Materials

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
The stress-dependent K0, Vs, and Vs anisotropy and their correlations with sand for 1D consolidation stress were tested with a custom-designed floating-wall consolidometer-type Bender Element (BE) testing apparatus.

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

Small-strain stiffness of liquefiable sands: A comparison between bender elements and resonant-column tests [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Soil stiffness can be estimated by geophysical and dynamic testing methods. In the laboratory, the most common methods to measure the small-strain stiffness are the bender elements (BE) and resonant-column (RC) tests. This paper focuses on the comparison
