Interpreting Measurements of Small Strain Elastic Shear Modulus under Unsaturated Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

Influence of vacuum on diffusion of moisture inside seeds of cereals

open access: yesҚарағанды университетінің хабаршысы. Физика сериясы, 2022
The article solves the problem of thermal injury of seeds of grain crops during drying, which are capillaryporous bodies. It is hypothesized that the use of a vacuum in the drying chamber reduces the risk of thermal stress.

Annular cracks in thin films of nanoparticle suspensions drying on a fiber

open access: yes, 2013
We report an experimental study of the crack pattern formed during the drying of a colloidal suspension. A horizontal fiber, which provides a one dimensional, boundary-free substrate, is coated by a film of micronic thickness.

High-temperature stress during drying improves subsequent rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed longevity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Post-harvest drying prolongs seed survival in air-dry storage; previous research showed benefit from drying moist rice seeds at temperatures greater than recommended for genebanks (5-20°C).

Infection Control Practices for Vascular Access Management in Hemodialysis: Results From a Nationwide Survey of Japanese National University Hospitals

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

Measurement and analysis of shrinkage stress of expansive soils during drying process

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
During the expansion process, the expansive soils will produce expansion stress and vice versa. Therefore, it is very significant to explore the change of the shrinkage stress of the expansive soils during drying. In order to investigate the relationship

Effects of In-Situ Drying–Wetting Cycles on the Stress-Dependent Water Retention Behavior of Intact Loess

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2023
Understanding the effects of in-situ drying–wetting pattern on the stress-dependent water retention curve of intact loess is vital for addressing geotechnical problems in loess regions.

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.
