3D THM modelling of Finnish spent nuclear fuel repository

Frontiers in Built Environment
This paper presents modelling of the long-term performance of engineered barrier systems (EBS) in crystalline host rock in terms of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in a specific case, considering also the impact of salinity linked with ...

Effect of gap-sealing on hydro-mechanical behaviour of granular bentonite [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Granular bentonite (GB), offering better pourability and workability than traditional powder bentonites, has been proposed as a candidate material for engineered barriers in deep geological repositories of radioactive waste.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Numerical methods for Hamilton–Jacobi type equations [PDF]

, 2016
We give an overview of numerical methods for first-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations. After a short presentation of the theory of viscosity solutions, we show their link with entropy solutions of conservation laws.

Viscoplastic analysis of salt caverns under time-asymmetric pressure cycling: definition and validation of a dimensionless operational rule with real case data

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
Operational asymmetry is a characteristic feature of underground gas storage systems—particularly in salt caverns—where injection phases are typically longer and steadier than withdrawal phases, which are shorter and more abrupt in response to ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...
