Liquid and plastic limits of clays by cone method
International Journal of Geo-Engineering, 2018 Undrained shear strength of a soil at the liquid limit water content can be considered to be around 1.7 kPa according to several researchers. Plasticity index of soils has been defined by one school of thought as a range of water content producing a 100 ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

Price Dynamics in a Markovian Limit Order Market [PDF]
We propose and study a simple stochastic model for the dynamics of a limit order book, in which arrivals of market order, limit orders and order cancellations are described in terms of a Markovian queueing system. Through its analytical tractability, the

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Determination of Atterberg Limits using the vane shear test method
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and ExplorationAtterberg limits are important index parameters used to classify soils for various engineering applications. Engineering properties of soils are predicted through simple correlations with index properties and thereby the engineering behavior of soils are

Experimental Study on the Strength Characteristics of Loess Reinforced with Calcium-based Mixture, Chitosan and Sisal Fiber [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesLoess has engineering characteristics such as loose structure, strong collapsibility, and rapid decrease in strength when exposed to water, which can easily cause environmental and engineering problems.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Effect of Changing Sand Content on Liquid Limit and Plasticity Index of Clay
GeotechnicsMiddle–Late Miocene clay layers, which occur in several places in Budapest (Hungary), contain varying amounts of sand, with predominance of sand in some cases.

The role of miR‐335‐5p in the redifferentiation of BRAF p.V600E thyroid cancers
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The BRAF p.V600E mutation promotes thyroid cancer dedifferentiation and radioiodine resistance. Using a network approach, we identified miR‐335‐5p as a key regulator of BRAF‐mutated thyroid tumors. Restoring miR‐335‐5p increased thyroid‐specific gene expression and iodine uptake in cells and organoids.
