Lifetime evaluation of concrete structures under sustained post-peak loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Experimental tests on crack propagation in concrete under constant post-peak loading are simulated using the finite element method and the cohesive crack model, in both Mode I and Mixed-mode conditions.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Dynamic Crack Initiation Toughness of Shale under Impact Loading

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The impact loading of a notched semi-circular bend (NSCB) specimen of outcrop shale in Changning Sichuan was carried out using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to study the effect of shale bedding on the dynamic crack initiation toughness.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Fracture Process and Failure Mode of Brazilian Discs with Cracks of Different Angles: A Numerical Study

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In order to determine the effect of internal cracks on the tensile failure of materials, a hybrid finite–discrete element method was used to analyze the Brazilian disc test with cracks of different angles.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Influences of crystal orientations and grain boundary on crack propagation behaviour at room temperature in a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Fatigue crack propagation in a polycrystalline Ni-base superalloy was experimentally investigated at room temperature. Fatigue crack propagation tests were conducted under a constant ΔK condition to clarify the effect of grains crystal orientation, grain

Crack tip solution for Mode III cracks in spring interfaces

open access: yesEngineering Fracture Mechanics, 2023
Considering an infinite linear elastic isotropic solid in antiplane shear, the Mode III crack-tip solution for a semi-infinite crack located in a straight spring interface is systematically studied for the first time. A new analytic expression for this crack-tip solution is given in the form of a double asymptotic series of the main and the so-called ...
