Upper bound limit analysis of coral reef limestone cavern roof stability incorporating a tension‐shear failure mechanism with tensile‐strength cut‐off

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
For the roof of coral reef limestone caverns, a novel tension‐shear composite failure mechanism was developed. The most critical tensile crack model was identified using a hybrid optimization algorithm, and the stability of the cavern roof was analyzed accordingly.

Investigation on the failure evolution characteristics of surrounding rock in deep cross‐fault roadway: Based on physical model test and numerical simulation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study reveals the failure evolution characteristics of deep cross‐fault roadway surrounding rock under excavation support and periodic weighting. Periodic weighting readily induces fault activation, with the spatial distribution of failed rock masses being controlled by the fault strike and dip.

Efficient rejoining of DNA double-strand breaks despite increased cell-killing effectiveness following spread-out Bragg peak carbon-ion irradiation

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
Radiotherapy of solid tumors with charged particles holds several advantages in comparison to photon therapy; among them conformal dose distribution in the tumor, improved sparing of tumor-surrounding healthy tissue, and an increased relative biological ...

Psychosexual counseling intervention to improve women's genital self‐image: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial based on a multistage mixed method design

Health Science Reports, 2023
Background Genital self‐image (GSI) is a major barrier to reproductive and sexual health for women. This practical randomized trial aims to evaluate the effect of psychosexual counseling based on a cognitive‐behavioral approach to promoting GSI for ...

When Is Improvement Possible? A Necessity‐Based Analysis of Short‐Term Eating Disorder Symptom Improvement During Inpatient Treatment

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Eating‐disorder–specific functional impairment may represent a boundary condition for treatment response, yet this possibility has rarely been examined. We investigated whether baseline functional impairment constrains short‐term eating‐disorder symptom improvement, indexed by change in EDE‐Q Global scores during inpatient treatment ...

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Exposure to carbon ions triggers pro-inflammatory signals, changes in homeostasis and epidermal tissue organization to a similar extent as photons

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
The increasing application of charged particles in radiotherapy requires a deeper understanding of early and late side effects occurring in skin, which is exposed in all radiation treatments.

Impact of COVID‐19 Lockdown on Psychopathology at the Onset of Eating Disorders

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Previous research has shown that the COVID‐19 pandemic worsened eating‐disorder (ED) symptoms, but most studies have focused on inpatients and compared only two periods: pre‐COVID and the period following the pandemic's onset. Outpatient populations, particularly those with binge eating disorder (BED) and other specified feeding or ...
