Negative skin friction pile concepts with soil–structure interaction [PDF]
Code-based design of piles with negative skin friction (NSF) considers the NSF force (the drag force) as a load to be imposed on the pile as an unfavourable design action. These codes – for example Singapore Code of Practice CP4, UK Standard BS EN 8004:1986 and the recent Eurocode 7 (EC7) (BS EN 1997-1:2004) – would indirectly factor up the value of ...

Smart skin patterns protect springtails. [PDF]
Springtails, arthropods who live in soil, in decaying material, and on plants, have adapted to demanding conditions by evolving extremely effective and robust anti-adhesive skin patterns.

Model-based design of transverse wall oscillations for turbulent drag reduction
Over the last two decades, both experiments and simulations have demonstrated that transverse wall oscillations with properly selected amplitude and frequency can reduce turbulent drag by as much as 40%.

Impact of experimental conditions on material response during forming of steel in semi-solid state [PDF]
Semi-solid forming is an effective near-net-shape forming process to produce components with complex geometry and in fewer forming steps. It benefits from the complex thixotropic behaviour of semi-solids.

Role of critical points of the skin friction field in formation of plumes in thermal convection
The dynamics in the thin boundary layers of temperature and velocity is the key to a deeper understanding of turbulent transport of heat and momentum in thermal convection.

Effects of a nonadiabatic wall on supersonic shock/boundary-layer interactions [PDF]
Direct numerical simulations are employed to investigate a shock wave impinging on a turbulent boundary layer at free-stream Mach number M=2.28 with different wall thermal conditions, including adiabatic, cooled, and heated, for a wide range of ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Heat transfer in a recirculation zone at steady-state and oscillating conditions - the back facing step test case [PDF]
Steady state and transient heat transfer is a very important aspect of any combustion process. To properly simulate gas to wall heat transfer in a turbulent flow, an accurate prediction of the flow and the thermal boundary layer is required.
