Approximating Helical Pile Pullout Resistance Using Metaheuristic-Enabled Fuzzy Hybrids

Buildings, 2023
Piles have paramount importance for various structural systems in a wide scope of civil and geotechnical engineering works. Accurately predicting the pullout resistance of piles is critical for the long-term structural resilience of civil infrastructures.

Revolving rivers in sandpiles: from continuous to intermittent flows

, 2007
In a previous paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 014501 (2003)], the mechanism of "revolving rivers" for sandpile formation is reported: as a steady stream of dry sand is poured onto a horizontal surface, a pile forms which has a river of sand on one side owing

The interplay between helicity and rotation in turbulence: implications for scaling laws and small-scale dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
Invariance properties of physical systems govern their behavior: energy conservation in turbulence drives a wide distribution of energy among modes, observed in geophysical or astrophysical flows. In ideal hydrodynamics, the role of helicity conservation

Sequence determinants of RNA G‐quadruplex unfolding by Arg‐rich regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We show that Arg‐rich peptides selectively unfold RNA G‐quadruplexes, but not RNA stem‐loops or DNA/RNA duplexes. This length‐dependent activity is inhibited by acidic residues and is conserved among SR and SR‐related proteins (SRSF1, SRSF3, SRSF9, U1‐70K, and U2AF1).

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Assessment of Experimental Data and Analytical Method of Helical Pile Capacity Under Tension and Compressive Loading in Dense Sand

Buildings
This study presents the results of axial tension (uplift) and compression tests evaluating the capacity of helical piles installed in Shahriyar dense sand using the UTM apparatus. Thirteen pile load experiments involving single-, double-, or triple-helix

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Numerical modelling of pullout of helical soil nail

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2017
An investigation into the pullout response of helical soil nail using finite element subroutine Plaxis 2D is presented. The numerical modelling of actual pullout response is achieved by axisymmetric and horizontal loading condition. The effect of varying
