Dilatancy relation for overconsolidated clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A distinct feature of overconsolidated (OC) clays is that their dilatancy behavior is dependent on the degree of overconsolidation. Typically, a heavily OC clay shows volume expansion, whereas a lightly OC clay exhibits volume contraction when subjected ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Mechanism of Structural Damage in Low Permeability Coal Material of Coalbed Methane Reservoir under Cyclic Cold Loading

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The pore and fracture structure of coal is the main factor that affects the storage and seepage capacity of coalbed methane. The damage of coal structure can improve the gas permeability of coalbed methane.

Prediction of pile response to lateral spreading by 3-D soil-water coupled dynamic analysis: shaking in the direction of ground flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Numerical predictions of a series of shake table tests are presented in this paper in order to examine the accuracy of a 3-D effective stress analysis in predicting the behavior of piles subjected to liquefaction-induced ground flow.

Effect of confining pressure on ballast degradation and deformation under cyclic triaxial loading

open access: yesGéotechnique, 2007
Traditional railway foundations or substructures have become increasingly overloaded in recent years, owing to the introduction of faster and heavier trains. A lack of substructure re-engineering has resulted in maintenance cycles becoming more frequent and increasingly expensive.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

A simple permanent deformation model of rockfill materials

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2018
Existing experimental results have shown that using a semi-log linear relationship between the permanent volumetric strain and cyclic number underestimates the volumetric deformation of rockfill materials with a large cyclic number, and that the error ...

Network divergence analysis identifies adaptive gene modules and two orthogonal vulnerability axes in pancreatic cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumors contain diverse cellular states whose behavior is shaped by context‐dependent gene coordination. By comparing gene–gene relationships across biological contexts, we identify adaptive transcriptional modules that reorganize into distinct vulnerability axes.

Triaxial compressive failure of thermally damaged granite following low- and high-cycle fatigue loading

open access: yesResults in Engineering
This paper investigated the triaxial compressive characteristics of thermally damaged granite following cyclic loading. Thermal treatments at various high temperatures (200.0 °C, 400.0 °C, 500.0 °C, and 600.0 °C) were performed on granite.

Nucleation in sheared granular matter

open access: yes, 2017
We present an experiment on crystallization of packings of macroscopic granular spheres. This system is often considered to be a model for thermally driven atomic or colloidal systems.
