Effect of Passive Pile on 3D Ground Deformation and on Active Pile Response

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Using a series of model tests, this study investigated the effect of a passive pile on 3D ground deformation around a laterally loaded pile and on that laterally loaded pile’s response in sand. The active pile head was subjected to lateral loads, and the

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Vertical bearing capacity of a pile-liquefiable sandy soil foundation under horizontal seismic force.

PLoS ONE, 2020
In this study, research on a pile group system was conducted using shaking table tests under four working conditions: a natural foundation and pile-spacing conditions of 3D, 3.5D, and 4D (D is the diameter of the pile).

Effect of Spacing and Cross-Sectional Shape on Piled Raft System Subjected to Lateral Cyclic Loading

Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2020
Piled raft foundations usually supporting bridge piers, offshore platforms, marine structures and others are required to resist not only static loading, but also lateral cyclic loading that developed from different sources of loadings.

A new flow chip in combination with multiphoton microscopy as a protocol for longitudinal 3D imaging of tissue calcification under shear stress

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Miniaturized flow chip platform enabling continuous perfusion and longitudinal multiphoton 3D imaging of vascular smooth muscle cell constructs under physiological flow. Brightfield imaging guides region selection, while CellTracker Green and mRuby‐labeled fetuin‐A visualize cells and mineral deposition, respectively. Magnesium supplementation markedly

Experimental Research on Pile-Soil Stress Ratio of Rigid Pile Composite Foundation in Shallow-Buried Rock and Soft Soil [PDF]

长江科学院院报
[Objective] Pile-soil stress ratio is a key parameter in the design of rigid pile composite foundations for shallow-buried rock and soft soil foundations, but the rules governing its value and influencing factors remain unclear.

Intelligent Tutoring Systems for Adult Learning in STEM Disciplines

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) are reshaping adult learning in STEM by providing adaptive, data‐driven instruction across classrooms, workplaces, and informal environments. In the context of ITS, this article compares generative AI, which creates personalized explanations and practice materials, with explainable AI, which focuses on ...

Value of MRI Outcomes for Preventive and Early‐Stage Trials in Spinocerebellar Ataxias 1 and 3

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the value of MRI outcomes as endpoints for preventive and early‐stage trials of two polyglutamine spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). Methods A cohort of 100 participants (23 SCA1, 63 SCA3, median Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score = 5, 42% preataxic, and 14 gene‐negative controls) was scanned at 3T up ...
