Further study on level ice resistance and channel resistance for an icebreaking vessel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2016
In this paper, further research is carried out to investigate the resistance encountered by an icebreaking vessel travelling through level ice and channel ice at low speed range. The present paper focuses on experimental and calculated ice resistances by

Antimicrobial peptide expression in a wild tobacco plant reveals the limits of host-microbe-manipulations in the field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Plant-microbe associations are thought to be beneficial for plant growth and resistance against biotic or abiotic stresses, but for natural ecosystems, the ecological analysis of microbiome function remains in its infancy.

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 ...

The kinetics of ice-lens growth in porous media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We analyse the growth rate of segregated ice (ice lenses) in freezing porous media. For typical colloidal materials such as soils we show that the commonly-employed Clapeyron equation is not valid macroscopically at the interface between the ice lens and

Realization of Artificial Ice Systems for Magnetic Vortices in a Superconducting MoGe Thin-film with Patterned Nanostructures

open access: yes, 2013
We report an anomalous matching effect in MoGe thin films containing pairs of circular holes arranged in such a way that four of those pairs meet at each vertex point of a square lattice.

Investigation of Pulse Transit Times utilizing multisite reflectance photoplethysmography under conditions of artificially induced peripheral vasoconstriction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Pulse Transit Time (PTT) is the time it takes for an arterial pulsation to travel from the heart to a peripheral site. In recent times, PTT has been advocated as a marker for assessing increased vascular resistance.

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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

A Data-Driven Model for Ice-Breaking Resistance of Structure Based on Non-Smooth Discrete Element Method and Artificial Neural Network Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In this paper, a data-driven model based on the Non-smooth Discrete Element Method (NDEM) and Artificial Neural Network Method (ANN) is proposed for the computation of the ice-breaking resistance of the structure.

Behaviour of micropiles in heterogeneous coarse soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper reports on an experimental investigation on the behaviour of small-diameter piles, commonly referred to as micropiles. This particular type of deep foundation is frequently used in many barely accessible Italian mountainous areas, often ...
