Slip Line Growth as a Critical Phenomenon
We study the growth of slip line in a plastically deforming crystal by numerical simulation of a double-ended pile-up model with a dislocation source at one end, and an absorbing wall at the other end. In presence of defects, the pile-up undergoes a second order non-equilibrium phase transition as a function of stress, which can be characterized by ...

Condensation of LINE-1 is critical for retrotransposition
LINE-1 (L1) is the only autonomously active retrotransposon in the human genome, and accounts for 17% of the human genome. The L1 mRNA encodes two proteins, ORF1p and ORF2p, both essential for retrotransposition.

Finite-Temperature Phase Structure of Lattice QCD with Wilson Quark Action [PDF]
The long-standing issue of the nature of the critical line of lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action at finite-temperatures, defined to be the line of vanishing pion screening mass, and its relation to the line of finite-temperature chiral tansition is

DEVELOPMENT OF WARNING CRITERIA FOR LAHAR FLOW DISASTER IN GENDOL RIVER AREA OF MOUNT MERAPI
The eruption of Mount Merapi in 2010 leads to the lahar flow disaster in the region of the mountain slopes. Due to the impact caused by the lahar flow, it is important to develop warning criteria for lahar flow disaster with a simple method corresponding

Ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter pre- and post-lumbar puncture
Background To test the hypothesis that optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) correlates with real-time changes in intracranial pressure, we performed ultrasound measurements of the ONSD in ambulatory patients undergoing elective lumbar puncture (LP).

An analytical model for calculating tie-line critical temperature in ternary immiscible alloys
An analytical model for calculating the tie-line critical temperature (TtC) in ternary immiscible alloys is proposed in this study. The results of the TtC for Al–Pb–Sn and Al–Bi–Sn alloys calculated by using the proposed model show a favorable agreement ...

The puzzle of spontaneous versus traumatic intracranial hemorrhages
Intracerebral hemorrhage is hemorrhage occurring in the brain that can occur because of immediate trauma or structural disease process. The age-standardized mortality rate is decreasing worldwide especially in the past 20 years, but the number of cases ...

Van der Waals equation of state for asymmetric nuclear matter [PDF]
The application of the van der Waals equation of state to the asymmetric nuclear matter is considered in a critical state region. The corrections to the van der Waals pressure and free energy due to the Fermi statistics are obtained starting from the ...

Fate of the Critical Line and Chiral Transition in Finite-Temperature Lattice QCD with the Wilson Quark Action [PDF]
Finite-temperature phase structure of lattice QCD with the Wilson quark action is analyzed. We show that the critical line at finite temperatures, defined to be the line of vanishing pion screening mass, turns back toward strong coupling, forming a cusp ...
