Microstructure of compacted low-plasticity soils: the initial fabric and its evolution on stress and suction paths [PDF]
Soils used in earthworks undergo different hydro-mechanical paths due to the compaction and construction process, the change in climatic conditions or the groundwater level oscillations.

Development and initial validation of a hospital stress questionnaire [PDF]
Background Hospitalisation can be a traumatic experience, where inpatients are exposed to an abundance of physical and psychological stressors. Evidence suggests that these hospital-related stressors negatively impact health: a phenomenon known as post ...

Mathematical Model of a Thermoelastic Micro-elongated Plate Influenced by Initial Stress and an Upper Load from a Piezoelectric Layer according to Dual-phase-lag Model [PDF]
The main goal of this work is to investigate how the initial stress affects a thermoelastic micro-elongated layer under a layer of piezoelectric loading using the theory of Lord-Shulman (L-S) with relaxation time and the model of dual-phase-lag (DPL ...

Inflammation initiated by stressed organelles [PDF]
Key cellular functions including those related to energy metabolism, organization of the genetic information or production of membrane-bound and secreted proteins are compartmentalized within organelles. Various stresses such as differentiation programs, viral and bacterial infections, perturbations in protein production, mechanical constraints ...

Regulation of translation initiation following stress [PDF]
Recent studies suggest that genotoxic and non-genotoxic stresses appear to invoke translational checkpoints in order to inhibit protein synthesis. Depending on the stress and/or cell type, this downregulation of protein synthesis may either (i) protect against the deleterious effects of noxious agents and ensure the conservation of resources that are ...
