Evaluating the effect of different diaphragm wall cracking scenarios on seepage and slope stability in Earth dams using experimental and numerical modeling approaches

Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences
Background Seepage control measures are essential in earth dams to enhance their safety against seepage and slope failures. A diaphragm is a thin impervious wall that is used in the core area of the dam to prevent the seepage of water.

The State of High‐Resolution Imaging of the Human Inner Ear: A Look Into the Black Box

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐resolution imaging of the cochlea is challenged by numerous unique aspects of this organ, where sensorineural cells, crucial for hearing, are too small for conventional modalities like magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. This article reviews current imaging techniques, emerging technologies, and innovations aimed at improving ...

Auxin‐Producing Pseudomonas Recruited by Root Flavonoids Increases Rice Rhizosheath Formation through the Bacterial Histidine Kinase Under Soil Drying

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drought is a major cause of crop losses across agricultural regions. Rhizosheath formation enhances plant resistance to drought. Polyploids may tolerate stress more effectively through increased interactions with bacteria. However, the contributions of tetraploid rice associated microbiota to rhizosheath formation under soil drying remain unclear ...

Dopamine D1 Receptor Contributes to Glucocorticoid‐Associated Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head Protection Through the ATF3/CHOP Axis to Inhibit Osteoblastic Apoptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work identifies a novel mechanism by which dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) contributes to the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid (GC)‐associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) through the regulation of osteoblastic apoptosis, indicating that DRD1 serves as a critical mediator of the crosstalk between the nervous and skeletal systems.

An Off‐the‐Shelf Artificial Blood Clot Hydrogel Neutralizing Multiple Proinflammatory Mediators for Pro‐Regenerative Periodontitis Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel is engineered to structurally and functionally mimic the blood clot by integrating PPR, CCS, and RSF nanofibers through in situ activation of PRP. In a rat periodontitis model, CCS‐RSF@PRP hydrogel effectively promotes periodontal tissue repair, attributing to neutralizing the multiple proinflammatory mediators, thus rebuilding a ...

Theoretical bounds for the exponent in the empirical power-law advance-time curve for surface flow

, 2018
A fundamental and widely applied concept used to study surface flow processes is the advance-time curve characterized by an empirical power law with an exponent r and a numerical prefactor p (i.e., x = p*t^r).
