Influence of wetting–drying cycles on the compression behavior of a compacted loess from microstructure analysis

open access: yes, 2022
This study explores the compression deformation characteristics of compacted loess after different wetting–drying (WD) cycles, by tracking microstructure changes by scanning electron microscope (SEM), laser particle size analyzer, Fourier transform ...

Experimental study on influences of wetting-drying cycles on microstructure and water-retention characteristics of clay

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The Long-term wetting-drying cycles can weaken the engineering characteristics of subgrade fillers, resulting in engineering disasters. It is necessary to study the effects of the wetting-drying cycles on their microstructure and water-retention ...

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

open access: yesMolecular 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 ...

SUCTION MEASUREMENTS AND WATER RETENTION IN UNSATURATED SOILS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Techniques for testing unsaturated soils have been investigated by the author where the measurement and control of parameters were undertaken directly. Suction was measured and controlled with a new high suction tensiometer and water content through mass

Influence of cyclic wetting‐drying on the mechanical strength characteristics of coal samples: A laboratory‐scale study

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2019
Water‐coal interactions have gained much recent attention, although few studies focus on the strength of coal under wetting‐drying cycles. This study investigates changes in the microstructure and mechanical strength of coal that are induced by water ...

Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Influence of Dry-Wet Cycles on the Structure and Shear Strength of Loess

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
The dry-wet cycle is an important factor that causes slope instability and foundation settlement in loess regions. In order to study the effects of the dry-wet cycle on the structure and shear strength of loess, isotropic compression tests and triaxial shear tests were carried out on loess with different numbers of dry-wet cycles. The results show that

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.
