Applied SciencesSeasonal permafrost areas undergo long-term freeze–thaw cycles, severely compromising the strength of foundation soils. Consequently, deformation and settlement under long-term cyclic traffic loads are greater than in normal temperature areas, leading to

Catastrophic ice lake collapse in Aram Chaos, Mars
, 2014 Hesperian chaotic terrains have been recognized as the source of outflow channels formed by catastrophic outflows. Four main scenarios have been proposed for the formation of chaotic terrains that involve different amounts of water and single or multiple

Freeze-fracture study of Trichomonas vaginalis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1990 The freeze-fracture technique was used to analyse the organization of the plasma membrane, as well as membranes of cytoplasmic organelles, of the pathogenic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis. Rosettes formed by 4 to 14 intramembranous particles were seen on the fracture faces of the membrane lining the anterior flagella as well as in fracture faces of ...

Enhancing Low‐Temperature Performance of Sodium‐Ion Batteries via Anion‐Solvent Interactions
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.DOL is introduced into electrolytes as a co‐solvent, increasing slat solubility, ion conductivity, and the de‐solvent process, and forming an anion‐rich solvent shell due to its high interaction with anion. With the above virtues, the batteries using this electrolyte exhibit excellent cycling stability at low temperatures. Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]
, 2009 The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

A morphological view on mitochondrial protein targeting [PDF]
, 1994 Mitochondrial protein targeting includes both intramitochondrial sorting of proteins encoded by the organellar genome and import and subsequent sorting of nuclear encoded precursor proteins. Only a few proteins are encoded by the mitochondrial genome and

Mechanochromism of Glassy Polymers Enabled by a Loop‐Forming Supramolecular Mechanophore
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The supramolecular mechanophore LOOP is covalently introduced into glassy polymers, capable of reporting force‐induced pre‐failure damage and local fracture events in polymer glasses. Under different mechanical deformation modes, including grinding, tensile stretching, and scratching, LOOP probes irreversible events in polymer glasses through a ...
