An Apparatus for In Situ Direct Shear Tests on Snow
Experimental Techniques, 2016 The article presents a prototype of a new device for measuring the shear strength of snow specimens in situ. The resistance to sliding of a snow slab on a mountain slope is a key parameter in snow mechanics. The proposed apparatus acts as a sampler, to obtain a nearly undisturbed specimen, and as a shear box, similar to those used in the laboratory ...

Application of in situ direct shear device to shear strength measurement of rockfill materials
Water Science and Engineering, 2009 A simplified in situ direct shear test (DST) was developed for measuring the shear strength of soils in fields. In this test, a latticed shearing frame replaces the upper half of the shear box used in the conventional direct shear box test.

Interface shear characteristics of dredger fill and concrete using large size direct shear test
International Journal of Geo-Engineering, 2018 A large-size direct shear test was conducted to test the interface of dredger fill and concrete. The effect that concrete strength and the density of dredger fill have on the properties of interface is then analyzed.

A Direct Shear Apparatus for Rheological Soil Testing
Soils and Foundations, 1963 SYNOPSIS A direct shear apparatus for determining the rheological properties of clay soil in simple shear is described. Tests on a remolded Kaolin show that the distribution of strain within the specimen is nearly uniform. The apparatus will be applicable to compacted or undisturbed cohesive soils.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON SHEAR STRENGTH OF MARINE CLAYS BY DIRECT SHEAR AND DIRECT SIMPLE SHEAR TESTS
Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1998 九州の有明粘土およびノルウェーの Drammen 粘土について, 三笠式一面せん断試験機とNGI型単純せん断試験機による一連の比較実験を行った. 実験は, 不撹乱試料をその有効土被り圧で再圧縮した後せん断に供するものと人工的に作成した過圧密粘土について実施した. その結果, 下記のような結論が得られた. 1) 一面せん断試験は単純せん断試験よりも高い剛性とせん断強度を与える, 2) この違いは主としてせん断機構と載荷速度の違いによるものと考えられ二つの要因に対する補正係数を導いた, 3) この係数を一面せん断強度に乗じた補正一面せん断強度は, 単純せん断強度と良い一致を示した, 4) しかし人工的に作成した過圧密粘土の試験結果についてはこの補正は適用できない.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

COMP–PMEPA1 axis promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in breast cancer cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study reveals that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) promotes epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. We identify PMEPA1 (protein TMEPAI) as a novel COMP‐binding partner that mediates EMT via binding to the TSP domains of COMP, establishing the COMP–PMEPA1 axis as a key EMT driver in breast cancer.

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.
