Rapid Normal Stress Oscillations Cause Weakening and Anelastic Dilation in Gouge‐Bearing Faults

Geophysical Research Letters
Fault normal stress (σn) changes dynamically during earthquakes. However, the impact of these changes on fault strength is poorly understood. We explore the effects of rapidly varying σn by conducting rotary‐shear experiments on simulated fault gouges at

Evolution of hardness in ultrafine-grained metals processed by high-pressure torsion

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2014
The processing of metals through the application of high-pressure torsion (HPT) provides the potential for achieving exceptional grain refinement in bulk metals.

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Structure and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline SmCo5 and SmCo3Cu2 prepared by using high-pressure torsion method

AIP Advances
Nanocrystalline SmCo5 and SmCo3Cu2 alloys were prepared by using high pressure torsion (HPT) method. The effect of severe plastic deformation of HPT on the structure and magnetic properties of the samples were investigated systematically.

Relationship between Hpt polymorphisms and serum protein electropherogram

, 2009
Serum protein electrophoresis is routinely used to identify pathologies involving dysproteinemia. The electropherogram mainly represents the most abundant serum proteins, one of which is the polymorphic haptoglobin (Hpt), characterized by a molecular ...

From Consumer Plastics to Aquatic Toxicants: Oxidative and Endocrine Effects of Microplastics on Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) Larvae

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Secondary microplastics (MPs) from single‐use consumer products are rapidly becoming one of the most persistent and widespread pollutants of our time. Freshwater systems act as early sinks for MPs where fragmentation and additive leaching expose aquatic life to a broad spectrum of toxic compounds.

Resilience in the heights: Elevational filtering preserves taxonomic and functional beta diversity over time against biotic homogenization

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Environmental heterogeneity generates taxonomic and functional beta diversity, but a key question regards whether heterogeneity can maintain functional diversity when global change causes range shifts, potentially causing biotic homogenization by favouring species ...

Haptoglobin increases with age in rat hippocampus and modulates Apolipoprotein E mediated cholesterol trafficking in neuroblastoma cell lines

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Alteration in cholesterol metabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is the major component of brain lipoproteins supporting cholesterol transport.

Single‐Cell Profiling Links T‐Cell Accumulation and TH2/TH17 Dynamics to Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) Activity in Children

Allergy, EarlyView.
Active EoE is associated with more and deeper epithelial eosinophil, mast cell, and T cell infiltration; inactive EoE resembles controls. During remission, PPI treatment leaves more tissue resident CD3+ T‐cells than TS. In active EoE, TH2 cells, IL‐10hi Tregs, and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells are enriched, while TH17 cells are relatively depleted.
