Slope Failure of Noncohesive Media Modelled with the Combined Finite–Discrete Element Method
Applied Sciences, 2019 Slope failure behaviour of noncohesive media with the consideration of gravity and ground excitations is examined using the two-dimensional combined finite⁻discrete element method (FDEM).

A study of fragmentation processes using a discrete element method
, 1995 We present a model of solids made from polygonal cells connected via beams. We calculate the macroscopic elastic moduli from the beam and cell parameters. This modellisation is particularly suited for the simulation of fragmentation processes.

A block–particle–bar coupled algorithm to simulate tunnel excavation and support
工程科学学报, 2023 During tunnel excavation, the stress of the surrounding rock is redistributed, leading to a local stress concentration around the tunnel. In addition, blasting excavation and other factors lead to a strength reduction of rock mass around the tunnel and ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Molecular 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.

A review of discrete modeling techniques for fracturing processes in discontinuous rock masses
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2014 The goal of this review paper is to provide a summary of selected discrete element and hybrid finite–discrete element modeling techniques that have emerged in the field of rock mechanics as simulation tools for fracturing processes in rocks and rock ...
