Influence of the intermediate material on the singular stress field in tri-material junctions [PDF]
According to the mathematical formalism of the eigenfunction expansion method, the problem of stress-singularities arising from multi-material junctions is addressed.

Normal stresses in elastic networks
When loaded in simple shear deformation, polymeric materials may develop so-called normal stresses: stresses perpendicular to the direction of the applied shear. These normal stresses are intrinsically nonlinear: basic symmetry considerations dictate they may only enter at O(γ(2)), with γ the dimensionless shear strain.

Effects of combined application of compound fertilizer and biochar on absorption and utilization of phosphorus by wheat [PDF]
Unreasonable fertilization practices are still applied in agricultural production, resulting in reduced crop yields and wasting resources. Therefore, it is essential to optimize fertilization regimes to improve the nutrient absorption capacity of crops ...

“Normalized Stress” is Not Normalized: How to Interpret Stress Correctly
Stress is among the most commonly employed quality metrics and optimization criteria for dimension reduction projections of high dimensional data. Complex, high dimensional data is ubiquitous across many scientific disciplines, including machine learning, biology, and the social sciences. One of the primary methods of visualizing these datasets is with

Effects of suckling on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responses to psychosocial stress in postpartum lactating women [PDF]
In several studies lactation has been shown to be associated with a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hyporesponsiveness to physical and psychological stressors. As it is not known whether the marked blunting of endocrine stress reactivity in women can

Direct measurement of the contact normal stress distribution between two smooth joint surfaces
The shear strength of rock joints is highly depended upon the failure mode of joint asperity. At lower normal stress slide-up of one asperity up over another mode, however at high normal stress the joint asperities are sheared off at the base.

Anomalous stress diffusion in earthquake triggering: Correlation length, time dependence, and directionality [PDF]
It has been recently suggested that moderate and large earthquakes can be triggered by similarly sized events at very long range. Here we study the main characteristics of earthquake triggering by determining its correlation length, time dependence, and ...

Interplay between the Ubiquitin Proteasome System and Ubiquitin-Mediated Autophagy in Plants
All eukaryotes rely on the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy to control the abundance of key regulatory proteins and maintain a healthy intracellular environment. In the UPS, damaged or superfluous proteins are ubiquitinated and degraded in
