Simulation of moisture variations in concrete during prolonged alternate wetting and drying cycles using 3D discrete network model

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
The precise prediction of moisture variations within concrete is of great significance because various deterioration phenomena spanning corrosion to carbonation are induced by mass transfer facilitated by the presence of moisture.

Simultaneous wetting and drying; fluid bed granulation and tablet film coating [PDF]

, 2018
[EN] Simultaneous wetting and drying occur in processes such as fluid bed (top spray) granulation, Wurster coating and tablet film coating. This gives control challenges, as the spraying and evaporation processes must be carefully balanced and the ...

Castration‐resistant prostate cancer cells are addicted to the high activity of cyclin‐dependent kinase 2

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that emergence of castration‐resistant prostate (CRPC) is associated with significant upregulation of cyclins that positively regulate cyclin‐dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and concomitant downregulation of CDK4 cyclins. This renders CRPC cells dependent on the high activity of CDK2, and CDK2 inhibitors synergistically sensitize CRPC cells to both ...

Cracking of silty mudstone subjected to wetting-drying cycles

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Cracking affected by wetting-drying cycles is a major cause of shallow failure of soft rock slopes. Knowledge of rock tensile properties and cracking behaviors helps better assess the stability of soft rock slopes. This study aims to examine the cracking
