Stress relaxation of near-critical gels [PDF]
The time-dependent stress relaxation for a Rouse model of a crosslinked polymer melt is completely determined by the spectrum of eigenvalues of the connectivity matrix. The latter has been computed analytically for a mean-field distribution of crosslinks.

Lipopolysaccharide, high glucose and saturated fatty acids induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured primary human adipocytes : salicylate alleviates this stress [PDF]
Recent findings indicate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is significantly increased in adipose tissue of obese human subjects and is critical to the initiation and integration of pathways of inflammation and insulin action.

Stresses Inside Critical Nuclei
The usual derivation of classical nucleation theory is inappropriate for crystal nucleation. In particular, it leads to a seriously flawed estimate of the pressure inside a critical nucleus. This has consequences for the prediction of possible metastable phases during the nucleation process. In this paper, we reanalyze the theory for crystal nucleation

Critical applied stresses for a crack initiation from a sharp V-notch [PDF]
The aim of the paper is to estimate a value of the critical applied stress for a crack initiation from a sharp V-notch tip. The classical approach of the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LELM) was generalized, because the stress singularity exponent ...
