Effects of porosity on strength and deformation of rockfill materials

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
In view of the rockfill materials utilized in a 300 m - grade high earth-rock core rockfill dam to be constructed, large static triaxial tests under different porosities are performed to analyze the influences of porosity on strength and deformation of ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Landslide model for slope of reservoir bank under combined effects of rainfall and reservoir water level

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
According to the landslide characteristics of the slope of the reservoir bank of Longjiang Hydropower Station in Yunnan Province, laboratory tests are conducted to investigate the characteristics of the landslide under the combined effects of rainfall ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Centrifugal model tests on section form of drainage channel of barrier dams

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The centrifugal model tests on barrier dams overtopping are carried out based on the grain composition of Tangjiashan landslide dam, and the influence laws on the discharge process, released water and the size of the residual dam section of the drainage ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Numerical simulation of crest cracks in an earth core rockfill dam using extended finite element method

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The extended finite element method combined in ABAQUS software is used to simulate the propagation of crest cracks of an earth core rockfill dam. For the simplified plane FEM model with initial cracks, the conclusions are obtained as follows: the main ...

Discusion on Failure Mechanism of Piping

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2016
Supposing that the layer is consisted of two ideal elastic spheres with different diameters, the permeability coefficient of the layer can be calculated. After piping taking place and small grains being carried away, the permeability coefficient will change.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
