Shear strength and cracking behavior of reinforced concrete nonstructural walls

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
Recent Japanese earthquakes have severely damaged the nonstructural walls of many buildings. While nonstructural walls do not influence the seismic performance of a building, this damage can still sometimes cause buildings to be demolished or render ...

The Cracking and Tensile-Load-Bearing Behaviour of Concrete Reinforced with Sanded Carbon Grids

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
This article presents the cracking and load-bearing behaviour of carbon-reinforced prismatic concrete tensile specimens. Grids with different geometries and impregnations were used as carbon reinforcement.

Development and geometry of isotropic and directional shrinkage crack patterns

open access: yes, 1999
We have studied shrinkage crack patterns which form when a thin layer of an alumina/water slurry dries. Both isotropic and directional drying were studied.

Simple models of the hydrofracture process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hydrofracturing to recover natural gas and oil relies on the creation of a fracture network with pressurized water. We analyze the creation of the network in two ways.

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Intein‐based modular chimeric antigen receptor platform for specific CD19/CD20 co‐targeting

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CARtein is a modular CAR platform that uses split inteins to splice antigen‐recognition modules onto a universal signaling backbone, enabling precise, scarless assembly without re‐engineering signaling domains. Deployed here against CD19 and CD20 in B‐cell malignancies, the design supports flexible multi‐antigen targeting to boost T‐cell activation and

Class IIa HDACs forced degradation allows resensitization of oxaliplatin‐resistant FBXW7‐mutated colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
HDAC4 is degraded by the E3 ligase FBXW7. In colorectal cancer, FBXW7 mutations prevent HDAC4 degradation, leading to oxaliplatin resistance. Forced degradation of HDAC4 using a PROTAC compound restores drug sensitivity by resetting the super‐enhancer landscape, reprogramming the epigenetic state of FBXW7‐mutated cells to resemble oxaliplatin ...

Influence of Charge Hole Spacing on the Crack Propagation Behavior under the Effect of Empty-Hole Directional Blasting

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In order to explore the reasonable spacing of charge holes in empty-hole directional blasting, based on the action mechanism of empty-hole directional blasting, the influence of charge hole spacing on crack propagation is studied, the calculation formula

Studies of cracking behavior in melt-processed YBCO bulk superconductors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An important phenomenon in bulk superconductors fabricated by top-seeded-melt growth (TSMG) is the formation of cracks due to the inherent brittleness of the YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Y-123) phase matrix.
