Fracture mechanics characterization of an anisotropic geomaterial [PDF]
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2012 Argillites are considered worldwide as potential host rock for high level radioactive waste given the low permeability and strong adsorption potential. However, the excavation of the galleries of a repository would produce a disturbed zone around the boundaries rich of new fractures which may enhance the conductivity of the rock along the gallery axis.

Mechanical Characterization of Adobe Bricks
, 2021 The mechanical characterization of adobe bricks is an important first step in the study of the behaviour of adobe masonry. For this reason, in the last decades, different authors have conducted research on the mechanical behaviour of adobes from various regions of the world.

An algorithmic characterization of multi-dimensional mechanisms [PDF]
Proceedings of the forty-fourth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2012 We show that every feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanism for independent, additive bidders can be implemented as a mechanism that: (a) allocates every item independently of the other items; (b) for the allocation of each item it uses a strict ordering of all bidders' types; and allocates the item using a distribution over hierarchical ...

Large structure-dependent room temperature exchange bias in self-assembled BiFeO3 nanoparticles
APL Materials, 2020 We studied the magnetic properties of self-assembled aggregates of BiFeO3 nanoparticles (∼20 nm–40 nm). The aggregates formed two different structures—one with limited and another with massive crosslinking—via the “drying-mediated self-assembly” process ...

Mechanical characterization of elastic membranes: Cell mechanics applications [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2007 Wrinkled patterns produced by cells crawling onto elastic membranes provide a useful tool to test living cells’ locomotion. The technique, however, requires a characterization of the intrinsic properties and tension of the membrane as well as an accurate determination of the deformation induced by the cell.

Nanomaterials, 2019 Due to the extreme rise of sludge pollution with heavy metals (e.g. copper), the options for its disposal or treatment are decreasing. On the contrary, properly heavy metal-cleaned sludge can be used as an alternative sustainable energy and agriculture ...

Characterization of the Mechanisms Controlling Greatwall Activity [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2011 Here we investigate the mechanisms regulating Greatwall (Gwl), a serine/threonine kinase essential for promoting the correct timing of mitosis. We identify Gwl as a unique AGC kinase that, unlike most AGC members, appears to be devoid of a hydrophobic motif despite the presence of a functional hydrophobic pocket. Our results suggest that Gwl activation

Affinity of Serum Albumin and Fibrinogen to Cellulose, Its Hydrophobic Derivatives and Blends
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019 This work describes the preparation of spin-coated thin polymer films composed of cellulose (CE), ethyl cellulose (EC), and cellulose acetate (CA) in the form of bi- or mono-component coatings on sensors of a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...
