Influence of installation effects on bearing characteristics of piles under lateral cyclic loading in sand

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The displacement pile installation process significantly affects the stress and strain fields in the surrounding soils, which is often neglected for simplicity in conventional analysis and design.

Review: optical fiber sensors for civil engineering applications [PDF]

, 2013
Optical fiber sensor (OFS) technologies have developed rapidly over the last few decades, and various types of OFS have found practical applications in the field of civil engineering. In this paper, which is resulting from the work of the RILEM technical

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Study on Shielding Effect of the Pile Group in a Soft-Soil Foundation

Applied Sciences, 2023
Pile groups are frequently employed to reinforce soft soil foundations, while the piling process frequently disturbs the adjacent foundation. The shielding effect, which prevents the transmission of disturbances from pile installation, is indispensable ...

Vibro-Injection Pile Installation in Sand: Part II—Numerical and Experimental Investigation [PDF]

, 2015
In Part 1 of this series of papers a macroscopic two-equation (two-field) reduced model for the mechanics of the multi-material flow associated with vibro-injection pile installation in saturated sand was derived.

Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Multi-Scale Investigation on Bearing Capacity and Load-Transfer Mechanism of Screw Pile Group via Model Tests and DEM Simulation

Buildings
Screw piles are widely used in infrastructure, such as railways, highways, and ports, etc., owing to their large pile resistance compared to unthreaded piles.
