Numerical Simulation of Liquefaction Behaviour in Coastal Reclaimed Sediments

GeoHazards
This study presents a validated numerical investigation into the seismic liquefaction potential of fine-grained reclaimed sediments commonly encountered in coastal, containment, and reclamation projects. Fine-grained reclaimed sediments pose a particular

Phase transitions in dependence of apex predator decaying ratio in a cyclic dominant system

, 2018
Cyclic dominant systems, like rock-paper-scissors game, are frequently used to explain biodiversity in nature, where mobility, reproduction and intransitive competition are on stage to provide the coexistence of competitors. A significantly new situation

Novel cyclic di-GMP effectors of the YajQ protein family control bacterial virulence [PDF]

, 2014
Bis-(3 ',5 ') cyclic di-guanylate (cyclic di-GMP) is a key bacterial second messenger that is implicated in the regulation of many critical processes that include motility, biofilm formation and virulence.

Principal stress rotation as cause of cyclic mobility [PDF]

Geotechnical Research, 2015
Principal stress rotation (PSR) has been known to act as ‘loading’ on soils since the seminal work of Arthur et al. some 30 years ago, using the directional shear cell. However, the key insight – reflected in the titles of the original papers – that soils yield under constant stress invariants if the principal stresses rotate, has been consistently ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Mechanical characteristics of saturated soils under thermo-cyclic loads

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The impact of temperature on the large deformation of nuclear waste disposal, geothermal extraction and storage under cyclic load is should be considered.

Physical interpretation of the Mullins softening in a carbon-black filled SBR [PDF]

, 2014
A 40 phr carbon-black filled styrene butadiene rubber has been submitted to several experiments in order to identify the physical damage responsible for the mechanical softening recorded upon first stretch.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Cyclic liquefaction behavior of silty sand considering initial static shear effect: a DEM investigation

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
To gain more insights into the microscopic mechanism of the liquefaction behavior, the particle flow program PFC3D is used to simulate the liquefaction process of silty sands under undrained cyclic loading.

Structural Basis of Dual Specificity of Sinorhizobium meliloti Clr, a cAMP and cGMP Receptor Protein

mBio, 2023
In bacteria, the most prevalent receptor proteins of 3′,5′-cyclic AMP (cAMP) and 3′,5′-cyclic GMP (cGMP) are found among transcription factors of the Crp-Fnr superfamily.
