Effect of Crack Closure on Permeability in Abutment Pressure Area

Meikuang Anquan, 2020
The mechanical model of crack closure was established, and the zone of crack closure was calculated combining with the abutment pressure formula.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Pre-Strain on Fatigue Crack Growth in AA2024-T351

Metals
The objective here is to study the effect of pre-strain on fatigue crack growth (FCG) in 2024-T351 aluminum alloy. Three pre-strain conditions were considered: without pre-strain, compressive and tensile permanent pre-strains of 4%.

Environmentally-assisted Fatigue Crack Growth in AA7050-T73511 Al Alloy and AA2050-T84 Al-Cu-Li Alloy [PDF]

Materials Research, 2015
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of low temperature and saline environment on the fatigue crack growth behavior of the AA7050-T7451 Al alloy and the recently developed AA2050-T Al-Cu-Li alloy.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

An analytical workflow for predicting the stress dependency of the crack aperture and diameter based on the stress-dependent crack area

Frontiers in Earth Science
The patterns of crack closure are determined by the stress distribution on the crack surface. Generally, the crack closure model is characterized by the stress-dependency of the crack diameter.

A Numerical Study of the Effect of Isotropic Hardening Parameters on Mode I Fatigue Crack Growth

Metals, 2020
The consideration of plastic crack tip opening displacement (CTOD, δp), as a crack driving force has given us the opportunity to predict fatigue crack growth (FCG) rate numerically, and, therefore, to develop parametric studies focused on the effect

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

THE EFFECT OF CRACK CLOSURE ON HEAT GENERATION IN VIBROTHERMOGRAPHY

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
Vibrothermography is a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique that has shown great promise in detecting tight cracks that can often be missed using other NDE methods. Vibration applied to a structure containing cracks forces crack faces to rub together and generates frictional heat imaged with an infrared camera.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.
