Collapse Behavior of Compacted Clay in a Water Content-Controlled Oedometer Apparatus

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Assessing soil deformation leading to collapse is often conducted through a suction-controlled method, which can be time-intensive. In this study, the collapse deformation of compacted clay was investigated by conducting time-saving and convenient water ...

State-of-the-Art-Review of Collapsible Soils

open access: yesSultan Qaboos University Journal for Science, 2000
Collapsible soils are encountered in arid and semi-arid regions. Such soils cause potential construction problems due to their collapse upon wetting. The collapse phenomenon is primarily related to the open structure of the soil.

Threat-Independent Column Removal and Fire-Induced Progressive Collapse: Numerical Study and Comparison [PDF]

open access: yesCivil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2015
Progressive collapse is defined as the spread of an initial failure from element to element, eventually resulting in the collapse of an entire structure or a disproportionately large part of it.

Quantum collapse, consciousness and superluminal communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The relation between quantum collapse, consciousness and superluminal communication is analyzed. As we know, quantum collapse, if exists, can result in the appearance of quantum nonlocality, and requires the existence of a pre- ferred Lorentz frame. This

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Progressive collapse: Past, present, future and beyond [PDF]

open access: yes
The world has seen a surge in rigorous study efforts on the progressive collapse of structures in the past few decades. These events have led to new standards and provisions in building codes of practice, many of which are still being developed and ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Progressive collapse analysis of reinforced concrete in buildings L-shaped plan [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018
One of the most important issues discussed structural passive defense is progressive collapse. Progressive collapse occurs the sudden destruction caused by the deliberate structural member by accidents or disasters, such as earthquakes and terrorist ...

Collapse pressure measurement of single hollow glass microsphere using single-beam acoustic tweezer

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2022
Microbubbles are widely used in medical ultrasound imaging and drug delivery. Many studies have attempted to quantify the collapse pressure of microbubbles using methods that vary depending on the type and population of bubbles and the frequency band of ...
