Assessment of corrosion attack morphology on reinforced concrete structures exposed to chlorides

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐induced corrosion of the reinforcement steel is the main degradation mechanism for reinforced concrete, considerably affecting the load and deformation capacity of structures. Despite its importance, there is limited knowledge about the morphology of corrosion attacks and accordingly, relatively crude assumptions are generally made ...

A new minimal chordal completion [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this paper, we present a minimal chordal completion $G^*$ of a graph $G$ satisfying the inequality $\omega(G^*) - \omega(G) \le i(G)$ for the non-chordality index $i(G)$ of $G$. In terms of our chordal completions, we partially settle the Hadwiger conjecture and the Erd\H{o}s-Faber-Lov\'{a}sz Conjecture, and extend the known $\chi$-bounded class by ...

Precipitation and female experience are major determinants of the breeding performance of Canarian houbara bustards

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precipitation is one of the main triggers of reproduction in desert‐breeding birds. The unpredictability of rainfall patterns in arid environments has led species to adapt their breeding effort to episodes of abundant food after rainfall. The response is not the same for all individuals in a population, and may vary especially with the age and ...

Intermittent Fasting Enhances Motor Coordination Through Myelin Preservation in Aged Mice

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Over a 10‐week regimen, IMF significantly improved locomotor activity, motor coordination, and muscle strength compared to controls (p < 0.01). Resting‐state fMRI (rsfMRI) demonstrated that IMF modulates brain‐wide functional connectivity, enhancing communication between key brain regions.

Nonvanishing Betti Numbers of Weakly Chordal Graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We show that Kimura's necessary and sufficient condition for the non-vanishingness of multigraded Betti numbers of chordal graphs can be extended to the wider class of weakly chordal graphs.

Deciphering Novel Communication Patterns in T Regulatory Cells From Very Old Adults

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
Graphical summary depicting the changes in the co‐receptor landscape (a), migratory potential (b), differentiation program (c) and communication networks (d) in Tregs from the ‐< 66‐year‐old cohort versus the 85‐year‐olds. ABSTRACT Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important in maintaining tolerance and are key players in immunity.

Stopover regions, phenology, and spatiotemporal group dynamics of adult and juvenile common terns Sterna hirundo from inland lakes in North America

Journal of Avian Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the behavior of migratory birds can help determine levels of connectivity and inform conservation actions for species of conservation concern. The common tern Sterna hirundo is a long‐distance migratory seabird that is considered a species of conservation concern in the North American Great Lakes region and that has experienced ...

Chordality properties and hyperbolicity on graphs [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Let $G$ be a graph with the usual shortest-path metric. A graph is $\delta$-hyperbolic if for every geodesic triangle $T$, any side of $T$ is contained in a $\delta$-neighborhood of the union of the other two sides. A graph is chordal if every induced cycle has at most three edges.

Identification of two molecularly and prognostically distinct subtypes in acral melanoma using network prediction method

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
A novel disease classification method is constructed using the combination of multi‐omics data analysis and network‐based disease gene prediction algorithm CIPHER‐SC. It showed that the presence of two acral melanoma subtypes which greatly differed in clinical performance, cellular and molecular mechanisms and discovered a biomarker panel that ...
